Construction Errors That Often Occur in the Field

In practice, construction projects do not always go according to plan. Various technical and non-technical constraints can cause errors in the field. If not handled properly, these errors can have a serious impact on the strength of the structure, project delays, and cost overruns.

Here are some common construction errors in the field and are important to anticipate:

1. Use of Materials Not According to Specifications
This error often occurs due to price considerations or ignorance. For example, the use of non-SNI reinforced concrete or a cement mixture that does not match the measurements can reduce the quality of the structure and risk causing cracks or collapse.

2. Errors in Installing Reinforcement
Installation of reinforcement that does not match the working drawings or does not use spacers (concrete blocks) correctly can cause the position of the reinforcement to shift, so that it does not work optimally in withstanding tensile loads.

3. Uneven Casting
Casting without sufficient compaction (vibration) can cause porous concrete (honeycomb), cracking, or not perfectly solid. This greatly affects the durability of the structure in the long term.

4. Poor Drainage
When the drainage system is not considered from the start, water can pool in the building area, causing damp walls, eroding foundations, and accelerating corrosion of metal materials.

5. Weak Supervision
Lack of technical supervision from experts in the field can cause many implementation details to not be in accordance with technical drawings or plan specifications. This is very common in medium to small scale projects.

Minimize Errors, Maximize Quality
Construction errors can be prevented with careful planning, strict supervision, and the use of quality materials. PT Intisumber Bajasakti provides SNI construction materials such as reinforced concrete, bondek, wiremesh, steel plates, to cement and mortar, to support strong and durable building results.
