Innovation Pipe Bridge Design for Drinking Water in Urban Areas using Value Engineering Method

Abstract

Clean water supply in North Sulawesi Province requires infrastructure development, but there are limited government funds for building public infrastructure, so projects and investments must be determined carefully. This research aims to analyze the main river crossing distribution network using the value engineering method. The result of the study is using the horizontal drill construction of the river crossing distribution network (Horizontal Direct drilling, or HDD) as a substitute for steel frames. Based on LCCA analysis, option 2 , RIVER has lower LCCA than option 1 at 3,546 billions, so option 2 is the best choice for river crossing design. This research benefits academics and practitioners who study value engineering and support the development of clean water infrastructure, especially in Eastern Indonesia.
