Completion of projects on time becomes a top priority while taking into account the required technical factors. One of the obstacles in the BulakKapal underpass project Bekasi is the soil condition at the project site, which has high compressibility properties such as soft clay. One method to overcome large settlements and accelerate settlement times is to use Pre-Fabricated Vertical Drain (PVD). Thisstudyaimstocomparethedecreaseinsoilconsolidationwithout PVD and by using PVD and knowing excess pore pressure for each variation. Variations used in this study are landfill time, which is 4weeksand8weeksofthe gradual embankment,andthedistanceofPVDis1.2m,1.6m,and2m. These variations are modeled in Plaxis to determine the decrease in consolidation, thevalue ofporepressure, and the acceleration time of consolidation. From the modeling results on Plaxis, it can be seen that the installation distance of PVD significantly influences the time required for the consolidation process. Consolidation settlement using PVD can accelerate the settlement time up to 3.04 times faster than settlement without PVD.
