Ancol subject to construction audit after slide collapse

Jakarta Building Supervisory Agency (P2B) plans to conduct an audit of the built facilities at Ancol Dreamland Park following the collapse of a concrete sculpture on one of its waterslides on Sunday, which had injured four people.

Without the agency’s approval, the park’s management, PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol, will face difficulties arranging a construction permit (IMB) to repair the Atlantis Water Adventure Park following the collapse, Jakarta Building Supervisory Agency (P2B) chief Wiriyatmoko said Wednesday as quoted by kompas.com.

“The Building Construction Advisory Team (TPKB) will assess the structure before the operator requests the permit.”

Wiriyatmoko added that the park management would not be allowed to resume operations until his team’s investigation of the collapse was finalized.

He further added that the rest of the park would also be subject to the construction audit.
