Value Engineering Approach for Construction Materials Selection of Irrigation Drainage

In this globalization era, many alternative choices of construction materials. The limited funds available make engineers have to think creatively to choose materials used in order to obtain the cost as efficiently as possible. There are many ways to do the cost efficiency of the project, one of them by doing value engineering. The construction design selection is very important to do because it can show the project quality, as well as produce the development with an efficient and optimal cost. The value engineering approach in the construction field is an organized and creative approach aimed at identifying unnecessary costs. These unnecessary costs are costs that do not provide quality or USAbility/functionality. The value engineering application is to construct projects has considerable potential savings from the project budget. This study aims to obtain cost savings made during the design phase and irrigation drainage project implementation. The scope of the study in the present study is the wall project on the DAS irrigation drainage improvement at Cengcengan River in Sukawati, Gianyar. This analysis uses the steps of value engineering plan, i.e., information, creative, analysis, development, and recommendation steps. Whereas, the criteria used to evaluate the components/systems included aspects of cost, quality, implementation time, methods, mobilization, availability, and aesthetics

Integrated water resources management in the Bukian irrigation area at Badung Regency

Management of Water Resources in order to meet the needs of living things is very important. Management of Water Resources that is not integrated will cause various problems, including drought, conflicts of interest between water users. The Bukian Irrigation Area is an irrigation area that utilizes surface water for its agricultural activities. Currently the Bukian Irrigation Area obtains irrigation water from the Bukian I weir and Bukian II weir as a supply weir to increase the need for water discharge required in the irrigation area. In the utilization of surface water that is used to meet irrigation needs at this time less attention is paid to a good water management system, such as a lack of control over water use. Water management can be carried out properly if the condition of the water balance in the system is known. Related to this, additional discharge and integrated water management are needed to avoid conflicts of interest between water users. The method in this study is a quantitative analysis with the mainstay discharge variable in the Bukian I and II weirs and irrigation water demand based on the existing cropping pattern.&nbsp
