Abstract

Mojokerto, as a key economic center in East Java, faces increasing demands for reliable and efficient road infrastructure to support its economic growth and regional connectivity. The lack of adequate retaining walls along the Bendung-Bantengan road section has resulted in significant road damages, including cracks and subsidence, which pose risks to road users and increase maintenance costs. This study investigates the application of Value Engineering (VE) as a strategic method to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of retaining wall construction in the area. Using secondary data from topographic surveys and triaxial soil tests, the study evaluates various design alternatives to identify cost savings, stability improvements, and impacts on project duration. The results demonstrate that adopting VE (Alternative 1) reduces construction costs by IDR 284,244,698 through optimized structural dimensions, while maintaining quality and stability standards. Additionally, the project completion period is shortened to 121 days, offering a faster turnaround compared to the initially planned six-month schedule. The findings emphasize VE's potential to optimize material use, minimize waste, and achieve environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions during construction. Moreover, VE enables enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, including consultants and contractors, to develop effective and efficient solutions for infrastructure challenges. This research underscores the importance of integrating VE during the planning stages of infrastructure projects, particularly in areas with high erosion risks. By applying VE principles, the Bendung-Bantengan retaining wall project not only meets safety and quality requirements but also contributes to long-term infrastructure resilience and economic efficiency in Mojokerto.

Abstract

Mojokerto is a region in East Java with strategic geographical and economic significance, serving as a key area for regional connectivity and growth. However, the Bendung-Bantengan road section has experienced considerable damage due to inadequate retaining walls, leading to road subsidence, cracks, and increased maintenance costs. These challenges necessitate effective soil stabilization measures to ensure the safety and functionality of the infrastructure. This study explores the application of Value Engineering (VE) to optimize the planning and construction of retaining walls in the region. Utilizing secondary data from topographic surveys and triaxial soil tests, this research evaluates three design alternatives to identify the most efficient solution. The analysis revealed that Alternative 1 demonstrated the highest cost efficiency, achieving a reduction in construction expenses by IDR 284,244,698.00 through the optimization of structural dimensions and material usage. In addition to cost savings, the implementation of VE also contributed to a shortened project timeline, reducing the completion period to 121 days from the originally planned 180 days. The design maintained its quality and structural stability, effectively resisting lateral soil pressure while mitigating erosion risks. This study underscores the significance of incorporating VE during the planning stages of infrastructure projects. By balancing cost efficiency, quality, and sustainability, VE enhances project value and ensures long-term resilience. The findings provide a strategic framework for future infrastructure projects, promoting sustainable and economically viable solutions for regions with challenging geotechnical conditions. VE’s integration into construction practices highlights its transformative potential in achieving efficient and durable infrastructure development.
