Geometry Design Study of the Railway Between PT Inka Workshop – Tanjung Wangi Port Banyuwangi

Abstract

PT Industri Kereta Api (Persero), abbreviated as PT INKA, is a StateOwned Enterprise (BUMN) engaged in the railway infrastructure industry. In 2014, PT INKA officially signed a procurement contract for 150 passenger trains ordered by the State of Bangladesh which then in 2017, Bangladesh added an order for 200 Passenger Trains. This shows that the number of railway carriage export requests is increasing. To fulfil the demand, PT INKA built a new factory located in Banyuwangi Regency. PT INKA uses sea transportation mode for the export activities. The closest port to the railway workshop in Banyuwangi Regency is Tanjung Wangi Port. To facilitate the export process of railway facilities, PT INKA plans to build a railway connecting PT INKA’s workshop - Tanjung Wangi Port Banyuwangi. In this study, a railway line with high traffic priority is planned by planning a minimum of three alternative trajectories and then selecting the one that better meets the requirements. In planning the selected trajectory, several trajectory selection criteria will be used. The planned rail road connects PT INKA Workshop with Tanjung Wangi Port in Banyuwangi with a distance of approximately 2 km and intersects with the ring road. In writing this study, several analysis results were obtained, namely: produced railway geometry planning drawings, rail construction, and the required budget estimate plan (RAB) of IDR 122.218.142.000.
