ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN SPRINKLER PADA GEDUNG KESELAMATAN PENERBANGAN POLITEKNIK PENERBANGAN INDONESIA CURUG SEBAGAI UPAYA PROTEKSI KEBAKARAN

Gedung Keselamatan Penerbangan Politeknik Penerbangan Indonesia Curug merupakan bangunan pendidikan bertingkat yang memiliki potensi risiko kebakaran akibat tingginya aktivitas, penggunaan peralatan elektronik, serta material mudah terbakar. Berdasarkan hasil observasi, gedung belum dilengkapi dengan sistem sprinkler sebagai bagian dari sistem proteksi kebakaran aktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi sistem proteksi kebakaran yang tersedia serta menganalisis kebutuhan sprinkler berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Pekerjaan Umum Nomor 26/PRT/M/2008. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem proteksi kebakaran pada gedung masih belum memadai karena hanya tersedia APAR, APAB, dan fire alarm, sedangkan sprinkler dan hydrant belum tersedia. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, gedung memerlukan pemasangan sprinkler sebanyak 374 titik, yang terdiri atas 97 titik di lantai basement, 164 titik di lantai satu, dan 113 titik di lantai dua. Pemasangan sistem sprinkler diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efektivitas proteksi kebakaran serta keselamatan penghuni gedung.

The Aviation Safety Building of the Indonesia Civil Aviation Polytechnic Curug is a multi-story educational facility with a potential fire risk due to high occupancy, extensive use of electrical equipment, and the presence of combustible materials. Based on field observations, the building has not been equipped with an automatic sprinkler system as part of its active fire protection system. This study aims to identify the existing fire protection system and analyze the sprinkler system requirements based on the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 26/PRT/M/2008 concerning Technical Requirements for Fire Protection Systems in Buildings and Their Environment. A descriptive qualitative method was employed using observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model.
The results indicate that the building's fire protection system is still inadequate, as it only consists of portable fire extinguishers (APAR), wheeled fire extinguishers (APAB), and a fire alarm system, while hydrants and automatic sprinklers are not available. The analysis shows that the building requires 374 sprinkler heads, consisting of 97 in the basement, 164 on the first floor, and 113 on the second floor. The installation of an automatic sprinkler system is expected to improve fire protection effectiveness and enhance occupant safety.
