UNS — SS-07 Bearnes Team brought a proud name for Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta in the Young Civil Engineer (YCE) 2021 Universitas Jember. The team consisted of a Diploma (D-3) Program on Civil Engineering students 2020 of Vocational School (SV) UNS. The team members are Faqih Faisal Arian, Tahta Alfinal Huda, and Fachrizal Wisnu Wisuda. They won the 3rd position for National Tender Competition, an activity to select, obtain, determine, and show the companies that are the most appropriate to work on a project.
To uns.ac.id, Faqih explained that the competition was opened with an offer to propose an innovation for building construction amid the Covid-19 pandemic. The building was an Integrated Engineering Laboratory Building Universitas Jember, six floors building, 2,208.8 m building on 25,000 m2 land. The team used the Building Information Modelling innovation with the Naviswork application. “This innovation has easy access using HP and tablet that reduces the risk of rework and spread of Covid-19,” Faqih explained on Tuesday (21/12/2021).
Interesting visualization and time saving are other benefits offered by the SS-07 Bearnes Team, which also incorporated the concept of lean construction in their plan. Their computation showed that the construction work would take 163 working works with IDR 23.3 billion costs, including 10% VAT. The offer was then formulated in a tender document that contains technical offers, site layout, innovation, strategy, implementation method, scheduling, and work safety aspects. The team also included offered prices and a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) for the project.
This achievement made the team member delighted and grateful. Their one-month hard work pays off. The team also stated that they participated in Semar Solid Community that enables them to compete with other universities such as Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Politeknik Negeri Semarang, and Politeknik Negeri Banyuwangi. The achievement will encourage them to work better in the future and as a learning experience for the team.
“In the future, we want to participate in other competitions. Hopefully, our expectation or target is to win the 1st prize,” Faqih said. Humas UNS
