A Strategic Presence at a Leading Seminar

GEO-STRUCTURE 2025, themed “State-of-the-Art Monitoring for Forensic Investigations in Geotechnical and Structural Engineering,” brought together academics, engineers, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world. The event was organized by the Geotechnical Engineering Center at UNPAR, co-hosted by Universitas Katolik Parahyangan and Nanjing University, and supported by organizations including ISSMGE and HATTI.

As part of the vibrant exhibition area, Maccaferri’s booth became a hub for engaging conversations, hands-on demonstrations, and idea exchange. The company leveraged this platform not only to showcase its geotechnical systems but also to connect with experts, clients, and the next generation of engineers.

Spotlight on Solutions That Matter

At the booth, attendees experienced Maccaferri’s broad lineup of geotechnical and environmental systems, many of which are meticulously designed to meet the challenges of Indonesia’s diverse terrain:

• Reinforcement & Stabilization: Advanced geogrids and composite systems that boost soil bearing capacity and reduce settlement.
• Drainage & Filtration: Geocomposites and geotextiles tailored to channel excess water and maintain structural integrity.
• Slope & Erosion Control: Gabions, articulated concrete block mattresses (ACBM), and erosion protection mats to reinforce slopes and prevent soil loss.
• Specialty Solutions for Challenging Sites: Systems for debris-flow control, void spanning, and hybrid composite solutions for demanding geotechnical conditions.

Demonstrations included model setups, cross-section displays, and sample installations. Maccaferri’s engineering team was on site to walk visitors through design rationale, long-term performance, and how such solutions can reduce costs and environmental impact in infrastructure projects.

Engaging With Experts & Innovators

Beyond product displays, Maccaferri representatives participated in dialogue with academic presenters, infrastructure developers, and government stakeholders. The booth served as a meeting point for exchanging ideas on how geotechnical technologies can help address soil instability, foundation challenges, and climate resilience. Combining traditional systems (like gabions) with modern geosynthetics paves the way for hybrid, durable, and sustainable geotechnical structures which is a direction that aligns with Maccaferri’s long-standing philosophy of innovation rooted in sustainability.

Impact & Takeaways

• Visibility & Credibility: Maccaferri’s booth presence reinforced its leadership role in geotechnical solutions across Indonesia and Asia.
• Knowledge Exchange: Direct interactions helped fine-tune product development by gathering insights from field practitioners and researchers.
• New Opportunities: The event opened doors to project collaborations, pilot studies, and partnership conversations in infrastructure, mining, coastal works, and hazard mitigation sectors.
• Talent Engagement: Students and young engineers were drawn to the booth, inspiring future talent to explore geotechnical engineering and sustainable design.

Looking Forward

With the success of its GEO-STRUCTURE 2025 presence, Maccaferri Indonesia plans to deepen collaborations with universities, design offices, and government agencies. Future steps include conducting local trials, co-developing demonstration projects, and further tailoring solutions to Indonesia’s unique geotechnical conditions.

As infrastructure demands grow, especially in challenging terrains, the role of smart, resilient geotechnical systems becomes ever more critical. Events like GEO-STRUCTURE 2025 offer fertile ground for innovation, and Maccaferri is proud to be part of this forward momentum of engineering better solutions for Indonesia and beyond.
