The morning sun shines on the coastline of North Maluku Province in Indonesia, and the construction site of FHT Industrial Park is already busy. A large power island is about to rise here, providing stable energy for the entire park and surrounding areas. In the southeastern Sulawesi province, thousands of miles away, the basic engineering of the nickel smelting plant in the IPIP park is steadily advancing in Pomara town, Kolaka district. These two seemingly distant locations are closely linked together due to the professional services of a Chinese company. In 2026, China Xingdian International Engineering Management Co., Ltd. won two large-scale projects in Indonesia, adding a crucial step to Indonesia's industrialization blueprint with the professional strength of "Chinese supervision".

Supervision services ensure the lifeline of energy

The FHT Industrial Park located in East Hamahira County, North Maluku Province, Indonesia, is planning and constructing its energy hub, a power island consisting of 2 × 150MW and 1 × 380MW units, as well as supporting peripheral projects such as water intake, transmission, and transformer stations. After completion, this project will become the "driving heart" of the park and even regional economic development.

Xingdian International won the bid for the supervision and equipment manufacturing services of the power unit and supporting projects. This means that from equipment manufacturing, on-site construction to system debugging, the Chinese team will carry out quality, safety, progress, and investment control throughout the entire process to ensure the high standard landing of this large-scale energy facility. Against the backdrop of Indonesia's continuous industrialization and increasing demand for electricity, the efficient construction and reliable operation of this project have strategic significance for ensuring the production of enterprises in the park and attracting more investment. The involvement of Xingdian International not only brings China's rich experience in large-scale power station construction supervision, but also reflects the international market's recognition of China's engineering management service brand.

Full process supervision escorts the construction of nickel city

Turning to Southeast Sulawesi province, Indonesia, which is rich in resources, another construction boom is surging in the IPIP park in Pomara town, Kolaka district. Xingdian International has won the full process engineering supervision service contract for three projects in the park in one fell swoop.

These three projects include: the Asus P06 and Huaxing P07 nickel metal smelting plants with an annual production capacity of 120000 tons each, as well as the B6 road reservoir dam and park pipe gallery (B4 road northern section) supporting infrastructure project. Nickel is a key raw material for products such as stainless steel and electric vehicle batteries, and Indonesia is the world's largest producer of nickel. The construction of these two smelter projects is directly related to the extension of Indonesia's local nickel industry chain and the enhancement of added value.

The task of Xingdian International is to provide full process supervision for these three major projects, including pre construction preparation, construction, completion acceptance, and trial operation. This means that the Chinese supervision team will be deeply involved in the construction of the core production capacity of the "Nickel Capital", ensuring the engineering quality and construction efficiency of these two major industrial projects and key infrastructure, and safeguarding Indonesia's transformation of resource advantages into industrial advantages.

The international stage of Chinese services

It is not accidental to win consecutive bids for two different types of park projects in different regions of Indonesia. Behind this is the technical strength, management experience and good reputation of Xingdian International, which has cultivated the international market for many years, especially the countries along the the Belt and Road.

In FHT Park, the focus of supervision is on the control of complex energy equipment and large-scale system engineering; In IPIP parks, more emphasis is placed on the full cycle management of large industrial plants and supporting infrastructure. This fully demonstrates the breadth and adaptability of Xingdian International's service capabilities. By applying advanced supervision concepts, standardized processes, and digital management tools developed by China in the construction of super large engineering projects to overseas projects, Xingdian International is helping to improve the engineering construction management level of the project location.

The winning of these two projects marks a remarkable start for China's engineering consulting services to "go global" in 2026. It not only won Xingdian International a "good start" in the new year, but also showed by practice that under the framework of jointly building the the Belt and Road, the cooperation between China and Indonesia has gone from traditional construction contracting and equipment export to more efficient and flexible fields such as technical standards, engineering consulting and project management, and is moving towards a new stage of joint consultation, construction and sharing.Editor/Yang Meiling
