The Operational Certification of Tembesi Dam in Batam was conducted to assess the structural integrity, operational feasibility, and safety compliance of the dam in accordance with national regulations. Built between 2010 and 2014 and officially operated in 2020, Tembesi Dam plays a crucial role in water supply distribution and flood mitigation for Batam. This certification ensures the dam meets national safety and operational performance standards, providing reliable raw water resources for the city’s growing population and industries.

This certification process involved comprehensive inspections, sedimentation analysis, hydrological assessments, and infrastructure evaluations. Key activities included visual inspections, instrument monitoring, and emergency response planning to mitigate potential risks related to seepage, sediment build-up, and structural degradation. Additionally, assessments were conducted on spillway capacity, dam instrumentation functionality, and seepage control measures, ensuring that Tembesi Dam remains fully compliant with safety regulations.

Located in Sagulung District, Batam, Riau Islands, Tembesi Dam serves as a primary water resource for Muka Kuning Reservoir, with a total storage capacity of 56.82 million cubic meters. The project also included recommendations for routine maintenance protocols, long-term sedimentation control strategies, and structural reinforcements, ensuring sustainable water management and infrastructure resilience.

By implementing advanced monitoring systems and structured operational guidelines, this initiative guarantees long-term dam functionality, water security, and flood control efficiency, supporting Batam’s economic and environmental sustainability.
