Feasibility study of evacuation equipment using the benefit cost ratio bridge duplication project Available to Purchase

The construction work of a bridge involves several potential hazards, and these potential hazards must be identified and managed effectively to minimize the risk of loss of life and property damage. The Kapuas I Bridge Duplication Project is a 430.5-meter-long bridge project with two different work areas: the land area and the river area. Potential hazards that can occur when project are include damage to the work due to collisions with passing ships or barges, workers falling into the river, accidents involving heavy machinery, and workers being struck by pile-driving materials. Each potential hazard can trigger an emergency situation. In the event of an emergency in the river, equipment for evacuating victims from the river to the hospital is needed. Feasibility studies for emergency evacuation equipment are important during the selection process of evacuation equipment. A feasibility study using the Benefit Cost Ratio method was conducted with four scenarios: purchasing a traditional boat (klotok), renting a klotok, purchasing a speed boat, and renting a speed boat. The Benefit Cost Ratio method considers equipment costs, fuel expenses, operator costs, travel time, and transport capacity. The research results indicate that purchasing a klotok has the highest Benefit Cost Ratio, making it the most effective option to use. Therefore, the feasibility study concludes that purchasing a traditional boat (klotok) is the most effective choice for evacuation equipment.
