What PUSTEKNO-CoT Unhas does

PUSTEKNO-CoT (Pusat Teknologi Center of Technology) is a university-affiliated technology center established in 2014–2015 under the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Hasanuddin (UNHAS) in Gowa, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, originally supported by the JICA C-BEST project. It operates as a designated Center of Excellence implementing a Triple Helix (University-Industry-Government) collaboration model, providing engineering consulting, environmental impact assessment (AMDAL), geotechnical investigation, spatial planning, infrastructure design, laboratory testing, and technology transfer services through six service divisions: IT & Engineering Skills Development, Technology Consultation, Research Development, Engineering Promotion, Testing & Verification, and Scientific Publication.

The center executes project-based fee-for-service contracts rather than selling software products. Its core customer base consists of Indonesian state-owned enterprises — primarily PT PLN (across multiple units including UIP3B, UIP Sulawesi, Indonesia Power, and Nusantara Power) and PT Pertamina Patra Niaga — together with central ministries (Health, Transportation, Environment & Forestry) and regional government agencies (Dinas PU, Dinas LH, Bappeda) across eastern Indonesia. Notable engagements include a 2020 cooperation with Hyundai Engineering for AMDAL on the PLTA Pongkeru hydroelectric project, ongoing work for PT Vale Indonesia on non-B3 slag characterization, and hospital design consulting for the Ministry of Health.

From 2015 through 2026, PUSTEKNO-CoT has executed over 715 cooperation contracts, generating cumulative revenue of Rp 15,919,631,896 (~USD 1M) across 2022–2026. The organization is staffed by 6 dedicated personnel but draws on 100+ doctoral-qualified academic faculty across UNHAS's 13 engineering departments for project delivery. Leadership transitioned in June 2026 to Dr.Eng. Ir. Faisal Mahmuddin as Head and Dr. Ir. Sapta Asmal as Secretary for the 2026–2030 period. The center has set a 5-year cumulative contract target of Rp 17.5 billion, with 2026 already producing 9 contracts (2 government, 7 BUMN).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• PT Wiratman: PT Wiratman is a private Indonesian engineering consultancy with civil, structural, and infrastructure design expertise. Comparable to PUSTEKNO's general engineering design and project supervision services, but commercially oriented rather than university-anchored.
• LAPI ITB: LAPI ITB is a university-affiliated testing and inspection laboratory originating from Institut Teknologi Bandung. Comparable to PUSTEKNO's Testing & Verification division and university-based applied-research positioning, but focused on materials and product testing.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with established operations in Indonesia, providing engineering, environmental, and project management services. Comparable on environmental impact assessment (AMDAL) and infrastructure design capability, but at global scale.
• PT Surveyor Indonesia: PT Surveyor Indonesia is a state-owned surveying, inspection, and consulting firm providing engineering and verification services across Indonesia. It overlaps with PUSTEKNO on geotechnical/topographical investigation and engineering design, but at a national scale.
• PT Sucofindo: PT Sucofindo is an Indonesian state-owned testing, inspection, certification, and verification (TIC) firm operating nationally across multiple industries. It is comparable through PUSTEKNO's Testing & Verification and laboratory services for industrial/government clients, though at vastly larger scale.
• PT PLN Enjiniring: PT PLN Enjiniring is a subsidiary of PT PLN (Persero) providing engineering services for PLN power generation and transmission projects. It is the in-house comparator serving many of the same PLN units that engage PUSTEKNO for specialist soil and AMDAL work.
• WSP: WSP is a global professional services consulting firm with engineering, environmental, and property capabilities and a presence in Indonesia. Comparable to PUSTEKNO's environmental assessment, geotechnical, and engineering design services, though serving multinational and large-scale clients.
• PT Indra Karya: PT Indra Karya (Persero) is an Indonesian state-owned multi-disciplinary engineering consultancy offering planning, design, and construction supervision across water, energy, and infrastructure. Comparable through its public-sector engineering consulting focus, but with national scope and larger execution capacity than PUSTEKNO.

Direct peers

• Lemtek FT UI: Lembaga Teknologi (Lemtek) is the Faculty of Engineering technology center at Universitas Indonesia - the closest direct comparator using the same university-based Triple Helix engineering consulting model. Both operate as institutional units under a top-tier Indonesian engineering faculty serving government and industry.
• Pusat Penelitian FT UGM: Pusat Penelitian at Universitas Gadjah Mada's Faculty of Engineering is a peer university-based engineering research and consulting unit. Like PUSTEKNO, it operates a Triple Helix collaboration model serving government, BUMN, and industry with applied engineering and consulting services.
