New Mexico Takes Lead in Value Engineering.

The New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department (NMSHTD) saved $140 million this past year as a result of aggressively pursuing value engineering, thereby ranking first among the states in dollars saved. They account for more than 16 percent of all value engineering savings in the

United States.

New Mexico recently implemented a $2.7 billion transportation program to improve highways and develop economic corridors. To accomplish this, NMSHTD pursued value engineering principles, such as clarifying how design solutions match with road performance and available funds and considering both technical solutions and public expectations.
