The partners involved were PT. XX as the applicant and the Department of Housing and Settlement of Rokan Hulu Regency as the technical authority responsible for evaluating the application documents. The implementation methods included technical consultations, document reviews, technical discussions, and continuous assistance based on the prevailing laws and regulations. The consultation results indicated that several technical documents required improvement, particularly regarding the specifications of the lightning protection and grounding systems, as well as the adjustment of the safety radius to 125% of the proposed tower height in accordance with the recommendations of the Expert Professional Team (Tim Profesi Ahli/TPA).
