TVRI Tower

TVRI Tower is a television transmission tower in Central Jakarta that stands about 145 meters tall with eight concrete floors and an observation platform. The structure works as a broadcast station and relay point for signals across the region.

Construction started in 1975 and was completed in 1977, replacing an older 85-meter iron antenna that had been used since 1962. This new structure gave the national broadcaster modern technical capabilities for television and signal transmission.

The tower marked a technological advancement in Indonesian television broadcasting, enhancing transmission capabilities throughout Jakarta and surrounding regions.

The tower is located in a central area and is easily reachable from various streets. Visitors should know that this is an active broadcast station, so access may be limited depending on ongoing operations.

The tower was built using a slip-form system, a construction technique normally used for grain silos. This innovative building method allowed for efficient and precise construction of the concrete structure.
