The West Limboto River Basin (91,004 ha), part of the Limboto-Bolango-Bone (LBB) Watershed in Gorontalo, plays a vital role in water resource management for irrigation, raw water, and livelihoods. However, high rainfall in upstream areas, coupled with reduced river capacity, has frequently caused flooding in downstream districts, particularly in densely populated areas of West Limboto.
To address this, the Sulawesi II River Region Office (SNVT Sulawesi II Water Resources) commissioned a Supervision Consultant to oversee the construction of flood control infrastructure. The consultant applied the Assistance Concept, taking full responsibility for supervision activities from design review to project completion.
🔸 Scope of Work
- Construction Management: controlling schedules, material quality, construction methods, work volume, and financial absorption.
- Engineering Review & Modification: reviewing design analyses, revising calculations, supervising detailed drawings, fabricated materials, installations, and reporting.
- Testing & Compliance: reviewing and approving testing procedures during fabrication, delivery, and installation to meet contract specifications.
- Field Supervision: ensuring all contractor activities adhered to technical requirements and quality standards.
🔸 Challenges & Solutions
- Land preparation issues: resolved through coordination with landowners and village government.
- Excavation spoils blocking farmers’ roads: addressed by relocating materials to mutually agreed areas.
- Work safety (K3) compliance: supervision reinforced the immediate implementation of PPE and safety standards.
This project strengthened the resilience of the West Limboto area by improving river capacity, reducing flood risk, and protecting surrounding communities and agricultural land, while ensuring construction quality and regulatory compliance.
