EVALUATION OF LAND FEASIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP CENTER LABORATORY BUILDING OF STATE POLYTECHNIC OF LAMPUNG

Abstract

The construction of the Entrepreneurship Center Laboratory Building at Politeknik Negeri Lampung requires an initial technical assessment to ensure that site conditions adequately support the planned structure. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the building development based solely on land conditions, focusing on topography, soil characteristics, and earthwork requirements (cut and fill). The research employed a descriptive–analytical approach using secondary data from the Detail Engineering Design (DED), topographic maps, and Cone Penetration Test (CPT) results, supported by field observations for verification of existing conditions. The results indicate that the site elevation ranges from 144.41 to 146.22 m, with slope gradients between 2.6% and 3.6%, classifying the land as gently sloping and relatively stable for building construction. Geotechnical analysis based on CPT data shows that the soil bearing capacity is sufficient to support a bored pile foundation system. Earthwork analysis reveals a cut volume of 1,339 m³ and a fill volume of 107 m³, resulting in a surplus excavated material of 1,234 m³ that can be technically managed during construction. The overall land feasibility assessment, evaluated using a multi-criteria scoring method, yields a score of 4.30 out of 5.00, indicating that the site is feasible for the proposed building development when assessed from land condition aspects.
