Quality Control Analysis in Construction Works of 80/100 U-Ditch Channel with 15 Ton Axle Cover (Jl. Manyar Indah)

Journal Title: Engineering and Technology Journal - Year 2024, Vol 9, Issue 08

Abstract

This research records experiences and findings during the Work Practice Internship (MPK) on the 80/100 U-Ditch channel construction project with 15 Ton Axle Cover on JL. Manyar Indah, Surabaya. This MPK is part of the Bachelor of Building Engineering Education curriculum at Surabaya State University and aims to provide students with insight and practical experience that cannot be obtained in the classroom. This project, which will run from April to June 2024, provides an opportunity for students to understand the difference between academic theory and practice in the field, as well as getting to know construction implementation methods directly. The main focus of this project is quality control in construction, especially in the use of precast methods for drainage channels. Effective quality control is essential to ensure that construction meets established standards, prevent wasted costs, and guarantee the quality of the final result. In this project, quality control is carried out through several methods, including Quality Control (QC) for wiremesh, Fc'30 Ready Mix concrete, and core concrete compressive strength tests (core drill test). Each stage of quality control aims to ensure that materials and construction implementation comply with established specifications. The quality of the wire mesh used is checked through measurements and structural verification to ensure durability and sturdiness. Fc'30 Ready Mix concrete is tested through a slump test and laboratory compression test to ensure its strength. Core drill testing was carried out on the completed U-Ditch structure to evaluate the strength of the installed concrete. The findings from MPK show that strict quality control and the application of precast technology can improve construction efficiency and quality. The practical experience students gain in the field not only enriches their knowledge but also strengthens the technical and professional skills required in the construction industry. In addition, this MPK helps students build relationships with professionals in the industry, expand their network, and prepare them for careers in the building engineering field. It is hoped that this experience can improve students' competence as prospective professionals in the field of building engineering. This research also highlights the importance of collaboration between universities and industry. This collaboration not only provides benefits for students in the form of practical experience but also provides opportunities for universities to strengthen relationships with industry and expand partnership networks. Thus, this MPK not only contributes to improving the quality of building engineering education but also to the development of better construction industry practices. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution to the development of the building engineering education curriculum and encourage increased collaboration between universities and the construction industry. Through effective quality control and the use of precast methods, this project can be used as an example in creating efficient and high-quality construction, in line with the needs and expectations of stakeholders.
