What is Value Engineering ?
VE is a systematic and creative methodology that analyzes the function of items, services, or systems to ensure that the required functions are performed at the lowest possible overall cost.
VE in Tossar
therefore Tossar VE is performed to eliminate or modify any element contributing to the overall cost that is not necessary to maintain the required performance and quality. Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative development of Tossar technical office has led the Tossar to develop the vital concept of VALUE engineering as a prominent management discipline. So Value engineering in the framework of project management, while paying attention to all the components of the plan, does not consider any part of the work as definitive.
The purpose of value engineering
The goal of value engineering is less time to reach the exploitation stage without adding to the costs or reducing the quality of the work.
Today, the continuous increase in operational costs and the ever-increasing development of technology; It has made it necessary to eliminate that part of the costs that do not play a role in quality improvement and are unnecessary in terms of execution.
The work of value engineering in implementation projects, considering the complexity of the work, especially in large implementation projects, can become an undisputed management tool in cost control.
The purpose of this method is to eliminate or correct anything that causes unnecessary costs; without harming the main and basic functions of the design.
From the point of view of Tossar’s value engineering team, a combination of technical methods, while reviewing and analyzing work components, will be able to realize the full implementation of the project with the least cost and time.
The project cost in this category is not only design and implementation costs; It also includes ownership costs including operation, repair and maintenance and consumption costs throughout the useful life of the plan.
Value engineering methods can improve and improve the quality of industrial production processes and carry out new designs at each stage of an executive project.
In construction projects where each structure has special conditions; Contrary to what is customary in manufacturing industries, and a correction method can always be implemented in the next stages of production of a specific product, the limits of application of a correction method of value engineering are limited to the same project. Apart from this, there are many differences in the possibilities of saving the costs of an executive project in its different stages.
Tossar company has deeply touched the impact of this valuable experience in a number of its projects and the value engineered by the value engineering team of this company has caused the satisfaction and satisfaction of the project employers in the following cases.
Examples of value engineering in projects carried out by Tossar
- Access Roads to Imam Khomeimi International Airport: VECP: design of a special drainage system intersecting the retaining walls.
- Jam – Taheri Free way : VECP: design of a penetrative reinforced concrete retaining wall.
- EPC of Parsian-Asalooyeh Highway : VECP: revising the route study that led to omitting 800m of tunnel excavation
- Isfahan – Shiraz highway (Safashahr-Saadatshahr): VECP: modifying the level of project line and longitudinal slopes in trenches and revising the time schedule to minimize the predicted finish time.
- South Tehran Wastewater Treatment Plant : VECP: Utilizing post tensioned reinforced concrete for digester structures
- Ardekan-Chadormaloo second lane variant : VECP: New variant has reduced the tunnel length from 1127m to 800m.
- 600m-bridge of Talvar dam: VECP: Total length of pile casting has reduced from 3650m to 2920m. Furthermore the weight of steel deck reduced from 1800ton to 1300ton (with about one million dollar less price).
