Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Highway Project

Every responsible engineer will care about the quality and cost of a project. An
engineer need to make sure every structure that he made will not collapse. In the same
time, he need to make sure the cost of the project will not be wasted. So, to get an
optimum cost of a project, there must be a way to get a high precision of estimation.
The main objective of this study is to identify the alternative proposals and to verify
alternatives those can be analyzed by using Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). The
scope of study is focus on highway project. Activities involved are gathering data from
highway contractor, calculating the total cost until the highway is finished constructed
including all the accessories items, data collection from literature review, compiling
data in order to analyze using LCCA rigorous methods for feasible material selection
and analyzing data using Microsoft Excel software.
