| Item | Benefits realized from the application of VE |
|
| Structure |
| Desalination plant | Successfully reduced construction costs by 10.33% and reduced annual operating costs by about US$330,000 |
| Masonry lining | Cost savings of Rp 15,180,000.00 or 47.6% for 50-meter tertiary irrigation channel |
| Offices complex | Reduced concrete costs by 3.90%; reduced rebar diameter by approximately 50% |
| Gas refinery | Reduced overall construction costs by 41% |
| Review of slip form (S.F.) | VE is used to adopt S.F. construction methods for special structures such as high-rise buildings, chimneys, silos, piers, towers, and heavy concrete offshore platforms |
| Large-scale residential | Reduced project energy consumption by 7%, and reduced project costs by 40% |
| Educational building | VE achieves energy consumption reduction and optimization in the context of macroeconomic policies |
| District cooling and heating (DCH) system | VE is used to evaluate different DCH schemes, analyse system function and cost in the comprehensive evaluation, and provide information for the final decision |
| Housing | Reduced system development costs by as 68,816$ |
| Residential building | Reduced project costs by 11,94,000 Rs |
| Drain coverings | VE is used to explain the environmental impact of drain coverings and to compare alternatives while accounting for life cycle cost |
|
| Transportation infrastructure |
| High speed rail (HSR) | Construction savings of US$2,663,970 and maintenance savings of US$17,197,120 |
| Ship | VE study (VES) defined the value index using information gained during the information and functional phases to generate alternatives selected in the creative phase |
| Highway | Approximate savings of $43,000,000 (6% of total project costs), and reduced construction schedule by 12 months (17%) |
| Mass rapid transit (MRT) | Cost savings of 30% and 14% for two different MRT routes |
| Airport rail link | VES is used to generate new functions and concept designs, including a three-level multifunction underground passage for MRT, Airport Rail Link, and storm drainage. This design reduces traveller congestion, decreases flooding in the greater Jakarta area, and increases airport accessibility. Life cycle cost analysis results confirmed technical and financial viability |
|
| Construction management |
| Interchange | VE is used to ensure the safety of an existing pipeline corridor beneath the project area. The first VEW step was to identify the unnecessary function through the functional analysis |
|
| Geotechnical |
| Expressway | Evaluation of expressway expansion on soft ground improved functionality by 80.8% with cost savings of 26.8% for alternative 1, 11.6% for alternative 2, and 47.3% for alternative 3 |
