IMPLEMENTATION OF FIDIC PROVISIONS IN PREVENTING DISPUTES OVER LINE CHANGES IN THE 500 KV SUTET TRANSMISSION EFFICIENCY PROJECT IN SUMATRA

Abstrak

The 500 kV SUTET transmission project in Sumatra is part of the efficiency program for electricity infrastructure development. However, changes in transmission lines that occur in its implementation often lead to disputes between related parties. FIDIC as an international contract standard has an important role in preventing such disputes. This study aims to see how FIDIC provisions are applied in this project and to what extent they play a role in preventing disputes. The study results show that although FIDIC has clear mechanisms such as Variation Orders, the implementation still faces obstacles such as late reporting of changes and lack of understanding of contract law. Capacity building and communication systems are needed for FIDIC to be applied more effectively.
