The Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) of the Republic of Indonesia, through the Directorate of Water Resources, is responsible for developing water resources infrastructure to safeguard communities and support sustainable coastal management. In the 2023 Fiscal Year, the Directorate commissioned the Supervision of Phase II Coastal Protection Construction in Ibu District, West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province.
🔸 Implementation of Supervision
During the supervision process, several important aspects were identified to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the project:
- Periodic dredging is required at the construction site to address sedimentation caused by waves and tidal movements.
- The utilization and management of the coastal protection facilities are to be handed over to the local village government for ongoing operation.
🔸 Construction Implementation
Key factors affecting the success of construction included:
- Contractor readiness, particularly in mobilizing equipment, manpower, and qualified technical personnel experienced in coastal protection projects.
- Community coordination, especially regarding the use of village facilities (such as access roads) and informing local residents about the project plan.
- Pre-construction socialization, which proved essential given the project’s significant impact on local communities and their environment.
🔸 Recommendations
From the findings and supervision activities, several recommendations were made:
- For projects with high technical complexity, tender participants should be encouraged to submit detailed construction methods during the bidding stage.
- Contractors should ensure the deployment of competent human resources, especially on-site personnel, to guarantee smooth implementation.
- Considering the vital role of this project in protecting coastal areas, it is recommended that coastal protection efforts be sustained and integrated with relevant agencies and institutions to maximize long-term benefits.
