Yogyakarta, Indonesia – May 2025 – Maccaferri Indonesia continued its commitment to advancing geotechnical engineering by participating in a seminar hosted by Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) “Veteran” Yogyakarta. The event brought together industry professionals and academics to explore innovative solutions for sustainable mining operations.

With the growing demand for environmentally responsible mining practices, the seminar served as an ideal platform for Maccaferri to share its expertise in the mining sector and the team presented a range of mining solutions, including Dynamic Rockfall Barriers, Debris Flow Barriers, and Rockfall Embankments.

Bridging Innovation and Practice in Mining

During the presentation, Maccaferri emphasized the real-world application of its technologies in active mining sites across Indonesia. Students were introduced to case studies demonstrating how engineered solutions can reduce land disturbance, manage tailings, and improve the long-term stability of mine slopes. Maccaferri’s systems address both technical and sustainability challenges. These solutions help mining contractors meet regulatory compliance, reduce maintenance costs, and improve safety on-site.

Supporting Knowledge Exchange

The seminar fostered dialogue between practitioners and students, allowing young engineers to gain deeper insights into applied geotechnical engineering. Maccaferri’s participation underscores its role in not only delivering cutting-edge solutions but also supporting capacity building within Indonesia’s mining sector. Students were also introduced to Maccaferri’s in-house design tool, MacRO software, and learned how it supports the development of effective mining solutions.

Looking Ahead

As the mining industry faces increasing pressure to adopt greener, more resilient practices, Maccaferri reaffirms its commitment to innovation and education. Through events like this, the company hopes to inspire a new generation of engineers ready to build a more sustainable future.
