At Miyamoto International, we are proud of our ongoing collaboration with Cal Poly’s Structural Engineering Students for Humanity (SESH) and the USAID/BHA Komunitas Perkotaan Untuk Aksi Tangguh (KUAT) Activity. Together, we’ve made significant progress in identifying and addressing structural and urban risks in Greater Jakarta, a region regularly impacted by floods and earthquakes.
Our joint initiative has brought together international expertise and local knowledge, with Cal Poly students working side by side with peers from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and Tarumanagara University (UNTAR). These collaborative teams have conducted vital building vulnerability surveys and developed practical retrofitting guidelines that local homeowners and businesses can implement to increase their resilience.
We’re particularly excited about SESH’s planned return to Jakarta in summer 2024, bringing approximately 15 architectural engineering students and faculty to further refine and implement tools for mapping building vulnerabilities. This continued engagement demonstrates the lasting impact of our partnership and our shared commitment to improving disaster preparedness in Indonesia.
As a global structural engineering and disaster-risk reduction firm, we believe in providing affordable, technology-driven resiliency expertise. Our approach utilizes advanced computational intelligence and machine learning technologies to design and retrofit structures that are not only stronger but also more cost-effective—making safety accessible to more communities.
Our work in Indonesia is enhanced by our collaborations with organizations such as USAID, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank. These partnerships reinforce our mission to deliver practical disaster risk management solutions through local engagement, innovative engineering, and cross-sector cooperation. We remain committed to building more resilient communities across Indonesia and throughout the world.
