OPTIMALISASI PENEMPATAN TOWER CRANE PADA PROYEK PEMBANGUNAN GEDUNG PASCASARJANA, UNIVERSITAS RIAU
The increase in building and infrastructure development in Indonesia
demands effectiveness and efficiency in construction projects, particularly in the
selection and placement of heavy equipment such as tower cranes. This study
focuses on optimizing the placement of a tower crane in the construction project
of the Graduate Building of Universitas Riau, planned to have 6 floors with a
height of 31.45 meters. The main issues include delays in structural progress and
the tower crane being positioned close to the maximum jib reach, which decreases
lifting speed and increases cycle time, ultimately raising operational costs. The
research aims to find a placement that maximizes productivity and minimizes
operational costs. The methods employed include direct observation and
interviews. Observations were conducted on 20 columns at elevation 13.45 meters
on the 3rd floor to determine the tower crane cycle time. Data analysis compared
cycle times between the existing placement and two alternative placements. The
study results indicate that the existing placement requires 598.195 hours with
operational costs of Rp1,402,373,077.80, while alternative 7 requires 590.637
hours costing Rp1,389,917,824.27, and alternative 9 requires 606.393 hours
costing Rp1,415,882,093.32. The time and cost difference between alternative 7
and the existing setup is 7.558 hours faster and Rp12,455,253.54 cheaper. Hence,
the optimal position for the tower crane is alternative 7 at coordinates
764722.537; 53537.493. This placement demonstrates that a shorter distance
between the tower crane and the supply point enhances productivity and reduces
operational costs.
