Department of Civil Engineering UGM actually send three teams in this race event, but only selected one team the opportunity to attend the final round in Jakarta. The final round is a paper presentation sessions conducted at the University College Building G Tarumanagara Jakarta on Friday (10/6). In this round, five teams will be given the opportunity to present ideas and those who have them write down on paper in the qualification round. The presentation was held in front of a jury consisting of Prof. Ir. Suryo Leksmono Putranto, M.T., Ph.D. and Dr. Ir. Najid, M.T.

The team from the Department of Civil Engineering, Gadjah Mada University raised about the potential for HSR that will affect the various aspects of society, a variety of potential problems to arise in the mode of operation of HSR, as well as offer solutions to these problems.

In problem areas, they expose their doubts about the possibility of not showed interest in this HSR mode. It is based on the characteristics of the traveling public that existed at the Jakarta-Bandung. Possible loneliness enthusiasts will impact on the emergence of the potential losers in this HSR operation. The analysis is accompanied by a comparison between the value of investments PT Kereta Quick Indonesia China with an investment in the Bank by relying on bank fixed deposits. In this comparison, it can be seen that the making of investments held by the four State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in PT KCIC may not be the right choice.

After a round of presentations ended, on Saturday (11/6) held a Seminar on High Speed Rail Jakarta-Bandung which closed with the announcement of the winners of the CNE, 2016. At the contest Analysis of Potential Problems High Speed Rail (HSR) Jakarta-Bandung winning sequence obtained as follows :

Gamahidro team consists of three students of Civil Engineering UGM, which Hadid Widiantoro, Rizky Dhewandaru, and Eldiansyah Mahendra won first prize in the race Dam Innovation Contest at the University of Diponegoro. The event was held on 6-7 November 2016 in Semarang.

At the start of the competition, the participants were asked to submit proposals containing race dam design concept complete with all the necessary calculations. Then elected four finalists who made it through to the next stage and were invited to Semarang to present the work that has been delivered complete with a model of a design model designed. Besides UGM, three other teams from the University of Diponegoro who successfully passed the 2 teams and one team from the Bandung Institute of Technology. After the presentation, the finalists are given a few questions by 3 jury and given a case study related to dam failure.

On the following day, the finalists are required to attend the expo organized by the committee for showing the work of each finalist. The visitors who come presented the results of work of the finalists was very impressive. Then visitors can give a vote at the expo for the work that interests them.

Here we make a dam as a vehicle for education and entertainment for the community to build a restaurant on the body of the dam and take advantage of water storage reservoirs as a medium for the conservation of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction, “Hadid said, Sunday (7/11) at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Diponegoro ,
Hadid added, because the dam is located on the border designed Majalengka regency and Sumedang district, top of the dam will be made the highway that connects the two districts and provided also pedestrian street for visitors.

“In addition, the building hydroelectric plants located in the dam will be our traditional house designs like West Java, which Kesepuhan Cirebon. Why? Because the dam is still in the area of Cirebon Sultanate and also as a tourist attraction on this dam, “he explained.
