Technically Flawed GOM Project Triggers Land Instability on the Edge of Setu


Kabar pena Nusantara 

Bogor Regency Indonesia— A government-owned project (GOM) located in Rancabungur Village, Rancabungur Sub-district, Bogor Regency, is once again under public scrutiny after a partial landslide occurred along the edge of Setu (lake) near the project area.




The GOM project, which previously went viral due to allegations of being abandoned and inconsistent with its original planning, was officially completed at the end of 2025. However, its completion has failed to dispel concerns. Instead, new questions have emerged regarding technical feasibility, construction safety standards, and environmental compliance.


Technical Assessment Raises Red Flags


From a technical standpoint, the project is suspected of ignoring fundamental geotechnical principles, particularly in areas with high soil saturation and low bearing capacity such as lake embankments. The occurrence of land movement indicates possible failures in:


Soil stability analysis


Retaining structure design


Drainage and water pressure management


Experts note that construction near a setu or wetland area requires comprehensive slope stability calculations, soil reinforcement, and controlled load distribution. The absence of visible retaining systems or erosion control measures suggests that the project may not have adhered to standard engineering practices.


Suspected Violation of Occupational Safety (K3) Standards


In addition to structural concerns, the project is also suspected of failing to implement Occupational Health and Safety (K3) standards during construction. Proper safety protocols are critical, especially in high-risk zones prone to landslides and soil subsidence.


The lack of safety infrastructure not only endangers workers but also increases the likelihood of construction errors that can compromise long-term structural integrity.


No Clear Evidence of Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL)


Another major concern is the alleged absence of an Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL). Projects located near water bodies are legally required to undergo environmental feasibility studies to prevent ecological damage and land degradation.


Without AMDAL, there is no verified assessment of:


Environmental risks


Soil and water impact


Long-term sustainability


This raises serious questions about regulatory oversight and approval processes.


Potential Waste of Public Funds


The combination of technical deficiencies, safety violations, and environmental neglect has led to fears that hundreds of millions of rupiah in public funds may have been wasted. If proven, this would constitute not only technical failure but also a breach of public accountability.


Residents are now urging relevant authorities to conduct an independent technical audit, including geotechnical evaluations and administrative reviews, to determine whether the project complies with engineering standards and legal requirements.


Until a transparent investigation is carried out, the GOM project in Rancabungur remains a symbol of questionable planning and weak technical oversight, with risks that may continue to threaten both the environment and public trust
