Pusat Kajian LKFT UGM

What Pusat Kajian LKFT UGM does

Pusat Kajian LKFT UGM is a multidisciplinary engineering research and consulting center operating within the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), a leading public university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Founded on June 29, 2005 under Government Regulation PP 20/2005 as the Lembaga Kerjasama Fakultas Teknik and re-established in 2018 as Pusat Kajian LKFT, the center serves as a bridge between UGM's academic expertise and the needs of Indonesian government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and private companies. It operates across eight engineering disciplines (Architecture and Planning, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Geodesy and Geomatics, Geology, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Energy, Electrical Engineering and Informatics, and Nuclear Technology and Renewable Energy), delivering feasibility studies, technical consulting, engineering design, capacity-building training, and process safety studies.

The center's portfolio includes digital platforms (i-Perfect industrial monitoring system, ePNBP Minerba electronic state-revenue system, Digital Twin 3D city modeling), physical products (Katrili and Sulasih Sulandjana agricultural boosters, GAMA Humat potassium humate soil amendment), and engineering services (multi-hazard early warning systems standardized nationally via SNI and internationally via ISO, CFD simulation for power-plant optimization, HAZOP/HAZID safety workshops, geospatial and GIS surveys). Revenue is generated through fee-for-service professional consulting and project-based contracts negotiated directly with clients, with a go-to-market model driven by institutional relationships, MoU-based partnerships, and penta-helix collaboration across government, industry, academia, media, and community. The center maintains operational presence across major Indonesian islands (Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, Papua, Bangka Belitung) and operates from the ERIC building on the UGM campus.

• PT Surveyor Indonesia: Indonesian state-owned surveying, inspection, and verification firm with strong geospatial, cadastral, and asset-survey capabilities. Direct overlap with LKFT's GIS, hydrographic surveying, cadastral 3D systems, and drone-based photogrammetry services.
• PT Rekayasa Industri: Indonesian state-owned engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm providing feasibility studies, basic/detail engineering design, and project management across oil & gas, petrochemicals, mining, and power. Competes with LKFT for the same SOE engineering mandates with a more commercialized delivery model.
• BRIN (Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional): Indonesia's national research and innovation agency formed by merging LIPI, LAPAN, BPPT, and LITBANGKES. BRIN is the closest peer as a publicly funded multidisciplinary R&D platform covering energy, minerals, engineering, and applied sciences that partners with ministries and SOEs on national priority programs.
• Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Research Centers: ITS hosts applied research centers focused on marine, energy, and infrastructure engineering with similar GTM into Indonesian ministries and SOEs. Comparable academic consulting model with industry-facing research outputs in energy, materials, and coastal engineering.
• Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Research Centers: ITB's research and innovation centers at Indonesia's other top engineering university provide multidisciplinary engineering R&D, consulting, and training to government and industry in overlapping sectors (energy, mining, infrastructure). LKFT and ITB centers compete for the same national project mandates and faculty talent pool.

Regional players

• Bureau Veritas Indonesia: Indonesian arm of global TIC major providing testing, inspection, certification, and HAZOP-style safety studies to energy, mining, and infrastructure clients. Overlaps with LKFT's HAZOP/HAZID, material testing, and process safety service lines but operates on a global commercial framework.

Broad incumbents

• Worley Limited: Global engineering and project delivery consultancy with deep Indonesia operations serving Pertamina, mining majors, and energy transition projects. Competes with LKFT for high-value feasibility and EPCM work but at a much larger, commercialized scale.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm covering transportation, environment, water, and energy. Provides feasibility, design, and program management that competes with LKFT's civil, environmental, and urban planning engagements at a much larger commercial scale.
• John Wood Group: Global energy engineering and consulting major providing feasibility, engineering design, and asset services to oil & gas, mining, and power clients including in Indonesia. Broader portfolio and global delivery model compared with LKFT's academic specialization.
