Tyre Drop Structure for Treatment of Erosion

Abstract

Soil erosion is a serious issue in many regions, with detrimental environmental and land sustainability impacts. One approach to overcome erosion is using recycled materials such as used tires to make erosion-retaining structures. This research aims to utilize used tires as a drop structure as a barrier to erosion. This research was conducted in the monkey area of PT Antareja Mahada Makmur Site Multi Harapan Utama. This research used a qualitative approach to gain an in-depth understanding of using used tires as a drop structure. Data was collected through literature study and direct observation. The collected data will be analyzed qualitatively by organizing, compiling, and interpreting the data. The results showed that the tire drop structure used as erosion management could have various impacts on various aspects, including the impact of environmental innovation, namely increasing the use value of waste and cost efficiency because it only requires the cost of mobilization of removal and the impact on other innovations such as reducing maintenance costs.
