Risk related to heavy equipment productivity on the road construction project in Palu city

Abstract

Heavy equipment is a vital resource in road construction projects. To determine the level of efficiency and effectiveness of heavy equipment, a quantity is needed which is expressed by the productivity of the tool. There are several risks related to machine productivity that can affect time, cost, and quality. The purpose of the study was to identify, assess, and manage risks related to heavy equipment productivity and to determine the effect of these risks on cost, time, and quality in road construction projects in Palu City. The method used is primary data collection through interviews and questionnaires as research instruments. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and assessment of risk acceptability. The results showed that 21 risks were included in the undesirable risk category with a percentage of 88%, so the action taken for these risks was to reduce risk to an acceptable level by making improvements within a certain period and 3 risks that are included in the acceptable risk category with a percentage of 12%, then the actions taken for these risks are to make improvements whenever possible because these risks do not have a large impact and are still within acceptable limits. Of the 24 risks, there is 1 risk that has a significant impact on time with a percentage of 100%, 4 risks that have a significant impact on costs with a percentage of 100%, and 1 risk that has a significant impact on quality with a percentage of 79 %.
