Project Description

Value Engineering Studies – USACE’s SVS, Multi-District

These projects illustrate I&L’s federal services and our experience evaluating flood control infrastructure including Levees, Floodwalls, Pump Stations, Dams, and Channels. These projects support the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s premier value engineering firm – Strategic Value Solutions, Inc. (SVS).

USACE SVS routinely retains I&L’s Mark Meyer as the Subject Matter Expert in Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Hydrology, and Geomorphology to evaluate large capital projects.

This proven practice is used extensively by industry and government agencies as well as on capital programs to validate business and economic decisions and to identify alternative approaches for delivering the best project at the lowest cost.

Mark Meyer has participated in multiple Value Engineering Studies and developed design solutions that have added over $100 Million in savings across the following Value Engineering Analysis projects:

The Value Engineering projects include four integral components:

  1. Subject Matter Experts: A multidisciplinary team of subject matter experts (SMEs) that are truly independent of the project development team.
  2. Workshop Format: The review is conducted in a 1-2 week workshop format. This ensures the team of SMEs are focused on the project and not distracted by other office activities or work priorities.
  3. The Process: The structured process identifies issues and risks related to projects such as the design configuration, design criteria, operational objectives, technical specifications, frontend specifications, constructability, biddability, contracting, funding/financial strategies, and estimated construction cost.
  4. Professional Facilitation: The facilitators are active team leaders with engineering or technical/scientific degrees who have spent their careers working on capital projects.
