The Kediri Airport development project encountered challenges related to underground ducting work. The design of Kediri Airport adheres to international standards, which led to the use of materials not readily available in Indonesia, specifically pipes and duct spacers. Duct spacers are tools used to arrange ducting pipes according to their formation and prevent them from floating during concrete pouring due to buoyancy. The SKEP/114/VI/2002 serves as a reference for underground cable installation, involving direct burial of cables at a depth of 70 cm, covered with a 5 cm layer of sand above the cable surface. These two approaches significantly differ, necessitating problem-solving solutions. To address this issue, research was conducted to find suitable duct spacers in Indonesia. Two alternative materials were considered: PVC and lightweight hollow steel. The study compared costs and time associated with these materials. PVC duct spacers would be imported and be fabricated in Indonesia, while hollow steel duct spacers would be fabricated on-site. The research focused on three aspects: ducting work methods, duct spacer design, and cost-time analysis. Given tight installation spaces and busy schedules, duct spacers needed to be compact, simple, and adaptable to various pipe formations. The design for hollow steel duct spacers aimed for simplicity to reduce on-site construction work. However, care was taken to avoid potential injuries from exposed bolts on the hollow steel frame. The PVC duct spacer design utilized Polytam PF 1000 material, with a nominal shear strength of 399 kg and a nominal moment of 266 kg·cm—sufficient to withstand saturated soil loads up to 162 cm but not vehicular loads. Analyzing procurement time, PVC duct spacers from Indonesian manufacturers were the quickest, taking only 56 days due to no port clearance delays. The fastest completion time for the project was achieved using PVC duct spacers, taking 122 seconds—three times faster than hollow steel duct spacers. While lightweight steel was the most cost-effective option for on-site procurement, combining cost and time analysis favored PVC duct spacers. The minimal cost difference allowed for accelerated production, minimizing the risk of delays

Urban sustainability presents considerable challenges, especially in the management of energy and wastewater treatment systems. Rapid urbanization intensifies the demand for water and energy, leading to increased pressure on existing infrastructure and resources. Wastewater management is essential for urban water sustainability, as untreated wastewater poses significant environmental and health risks. Moreover, wastewater treatment processes are energy-intensive, complicating the balance between environmental goals and energy consumption. To address these challenges, integrating decentralized renewable energy systems, such as solar, biogas, and wind, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) offers a promising solution. This integration can reduce reliance on centralized power grids, enhance energy self-sufficiency, and promote sustainability. The application of Circular Economy principles, which emphasize resource recovery and system decentralization, is key to this integration. However, technological, economic, and regulatory barriers exist, limiting widespread adoption. This study explores the feasibility of coupling renewable energy with WWTPs, focusing on energy flow simulations, environmental impacts, and economic evaluations. The results indicate that integrating renewable energy can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower operational costs, and improve the resilience of urban water systems, making it a viable option for sustainable urban development.

Quality risk management is one of the important things in quality control in a pharmaceutical industry. One of the risky activities in the pharmaceutical industry is in storage and distribution. Every activity carried out in the inventory warehouse can potentially cause risks that affect quality including the flow of the storage and distribution process of goods. Based on this, a study was conducted in the form of a risk assessment on the flow of the storage and distribution process of release goods in the inventory warehouse of a pharmaceutical industry in Bandung which aims to determine the level of risk that has the potential for failure. The FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) method is a method that can be used to assess the risks that can occur in the flow of the storage and delivery process of goods in the warehouse. This risk assessment is carried out with the stages of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation using categorization based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN). In this study, 15 risks were obtained with details of 1 low category risk, 7 medium category risks, 6 high category risks, and 1 very high category risk. Therefore, the pharmaceutical industry can immediately determine mitigation steps and take control measures against risks in the high and very high categories to reduce the risk of failure with the hope that the quality, safety and efficacy of the product can be maintained properly

Cross-contamination occurs due to other previously produced products, other rooms or areas producing different products, and particles from machinery or equipment. Quality risk management can be a preventive measure in reducing the potential for cross-contamination that occurs in the pharmaceutical industry. One part of quality risk management is risk assessment. One of the most common and effective methods is the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. This risk assessment is carried out using the stages of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation using categorization based on the Risk Priority Number (RPN). Based on the risk assessment using the FMEA method regarding cross-contamination in the Packaging area in the "XYZ" pharmaceutical industry, it can be concluded that the results of observations and interviews with operators and Packaging Supervisors identified 19 risks which were categorized as low, medium, high, and very high. Based on the results of the risk assessment obtained, the risk of cross-contamination that needs to be controlled is those with an RPN value of 30 ≤ RPN ≤ 60 (medium); 75 ≤ RPN ≤ 100 (high); RPN ≥ 150 (very high). Therefore, the "XYZ" pharmaceutical industry needs to determine and implement risk control measures. By adequately controlling the potential risk of cross-contamination, it will ensure the safety and quality of the products produced.
