The Deputy is responsible for the planning, implementation and supervision of various strategic projects, ranging from the construction of road and drainage networks, the strengthening of clean water supply systems (SPAM), to the modernization of public facilities and industrial estates. Each program is designed to not only strengthen Batam’s economic foundation, but also improve the quality of life of the community through the provision of safe, efficient and environmentally sustainable infrastructure.
Integrated and Visionary Infrastructure Planning
The planning stage is the key to success in any infrastructure development in Batam. Through careful, measurable, and future-oriented planning, the Deputy for Infrastructure ensures that each development program not only addresses short-term needs, but also supports the direction of long-term regional development.
Through the Directorate of Infrastructure Planning, the Deputy plays an important role in preparing and integrating various planning documents, so that they are in line with the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW), Strategic Area Development Master Plan, and national development policies. This synergy ensures that every infrastructure project in Batam is able to support Indonesia’s vision of globally competitive development.
By prioritizing a data-based approach and information technology, the planning process is comprehensive, participatory, and adaptive. Infrastructure needs analysis is conducted through in-depth technical studies, digital spatial mapping, and utilization of geospatial information systems (GIS) to ensure location accuracy, cost efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
These strategic measures include the preparation of a master plan for road and bridge construction, the development of a reliable Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM), the arrangement of urban drainage systems, the improvement of public and social facilities, and the planning of industrial and residential area infrastructure. All these efforts are directed to strengthen Batam’s position as a leading investment area that is modern, integrated and environmentally friendly.
Efficient and Transparent Development Implementation
At the implementation stage, the Deputy for Infrastructure through the Directorate of Infrastructure Development places the principles of efficiency, transparency, and accountability as the main foundation in every development project. This commitment is realized through measurable project governance, layered supervision, and cross-sector coordination that ensures all development activities run on time, on quality, and on budget.
Various strategic projects continue to be implemented to strengthen Batam’s connectivity and competitiveness. These include the improvement of the main road network connecting industrial areas, ports, and residential areas, the development of a clean water system (SPAM) to expand the reach of community services, as well as the rehabilitation and construction of public facilities such as drainage, city parks, and other public infrastructure. All of these measures are aimed at supporting the economic activities of the community as well as creating a more organized and productive urban environment.
In addition, the application of modern construction technology is also a key focus. The use of digital-based project information systems, environmentally friendly construction methods, and the utilization of innovative materials continue to be developed to accelerate the development process without sacrificing
With a synergy between careful planning and transparent implementation, the Deputy for Infrastructure is committed to bringing development results that can be felt directly by the community, as well as being an example of good development governance at the national level.
Development Quality Supervision and Control
As a form of commitment to the implementation ofgood governance principles, the supervision and quality control function is one of the main priorities in every development implementation. The Deputy for Infrastructure ensures that all projects carried out meet technical standards, regulations, and aspects of safety and environmental sustainability as mandated by applicable regulations.
Supervision is applied from the planning stage to implementation in the field. Every construction work is monitored through technical audit mechanisms, periodic evaluations, and digital-based reporting systems to ensure transparency and accountability of budget use. Supervision not only covers compliance with technical specifications, but also process efficiency, timeliness of completion, and monitoring of potential social and environmental impacts.
To ensure the quality of development, the Deputy for Infrastructure also implementsquality control involving competent experts from the fields of civil engineering, construction, to project management. Field inspections are carried out regularly to ensure that the work is in accordance with quality standards and is able to provide long-term benefits for the community and the business world.
As an integral part of development supervision, the Deputy for Infrastructure through the Directorate of Asset and Area Security carries out a strategic function in ensuring that all land, assets and areas used for development activities are in a safe and compliant condition. Its main tasks include:
- Safeguarding physical and non-physical assets that form the basis for the implementation of infrastructure projects to be free from potential disruptions, disputes, misuse, and fire.
- Monitoring of areas and boundaries, including ensuring that land utilization is in accordance with the designation and permits that have been issued by BP Batam.
- Coordination of field enforcement, both against land use violations and activities that have the potential to hinder the implementation of development.
- Assistance on priority projects, ensuring the entire construction area is safe, orderly, and conducive so that the project can run smoothly and on time.
- Monitoring of strategic asset security through regular inspections, use of monitoring tools, and integration with BP Batam’s internal control system.
With the existence of the Directorate of Asset and Area Security, the development process becomes more secure in terms of spatial legality, site security, and protection of state/regional assets. This synergy strengthens the overall supervision process and ensures that every project runs in the right regulatory corridor.
Through strict supervision, consistent quality control, and structured asset and area security support, BP Batam ensures that every infrastructure built not only meets physical needs, but also becomes a legacy of quality, safe, organized, and sustainable development.

This approach strengthens BP Batam’s ability to plan new investments and maintain the sustainability of existing assets.
These innovative steps accelerate Batam’s transformation into a smart city that is modern, resilient, and adaptive to global technological developments.
