Abstract
Budong-Budong Dam is located on Salulebo River, West Sulawesi Province, and has a diversion tunnel to divert river flow so as not to interfere with construction at the main dam. This diversion tunnel has a D shape which is dimensions 5 m. The Method used in empirically assessing rock mass quality is Rock Mass Rating (RMR) and Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE). The data used are RMR values and rock-type categories. The results show that the diversion tunnel is in lithology tuffaceous sandstone intercalation tuffaceous siltstone and tuffaceous breccias. Weathering degree from slightly-weathered to highly-weathered. The dominance RMR value is 27-53 and rock-category is CII with L massif rock type. The excavation method based on RMR is top-heading and bench and the excavation method based on JSCE is a full-face method with an auxiliary bench cut. Support systems proposed by RMR and JSCE are rock-bolts, shotcrete, and steel sets (steel support). Even though it has been done empirically, it needs to be considered for modeling to be effective and efficient.
