Build Reliable Structures with Low Life Cycle Costs Using Value Engineering

Written by Admin | Feb 15, 2022

Value engineering is a method used by industry professionals to evaluate a project’s design and make material substitutions to maximize the service life of a structure or system. Any substitutions must consistently meet required performance, quality, reliability, and safety requirements.

The implementation of value engineering is used within the design phase of a project. In this phase, alternative designs are considered to see which provides low life cycle cost. Value engineering can also continue within the construction phase of a project, dependent on changes that may occur during construction.

County Prestress manufactures reliable and durable precast and prestressed concrete products. Hollowcore, insulated sandwich walls, and prestressed concrete double tees are efficient building materials that industry professionals can rely on to build long-lasting structures. Our concrete products resist fire, wind, and forklift damage and require minimal maintenance throughout their extended service life.
