A comparative study on bridge road works methods for flood tide management in Agats-Suator project

Abstract

Currently, flood tide affects the accessibility of Agats-Suator Bridge Road. Therefore, local governments are making efforts to improve its infrastructure, one of which is in the bridge road construction previously used wood conventionally replaced with better concrete. This study examines the Agats-Suator Bridge Road Project, Asmat, Papua that compares the precast concrete system and conventional concrete system for flood tide management, in which workers were employed and materials were purchased from Surabaya. The purpose of this research is to calculate efficient scheduling conditions with a limited workforce on conventional and precast concrete implementation systems. The research method used in this research is a non-experimental quantitative method with comparative studies. Human resource allocation makes the workers scheduling more efficient by applying the principle of limited resource allocation. The research results show that the precast concrete system reach ideal conditions at rmax = 30 people with 18 weeks duration. Meanwhile, conventional concrete systems reaches ideal conditions at rmax = 89 people with 22 weeks duration. The result of resource allocation suggests that implementing a precast concrete system is more effective than implementing a conventional concrete system. The results of this study also function as a reference in selecting the concrete construction implementation systems for flood tide management in Agats-Suator Bridge Road Project.
