Abstract

This research addressed the critical intersection of sustainability and road maintenance, "Major Arterial System," explicitly focusing on applying Value Engineering (VE) principles. In the face of mounting challenges posed by urbanization, climate change, and resource scarcity, optimizing the life-cycle performance of road infrastructure has become a pressing imperative. Infrastructure projects are a country's economic development locomotive, yet they negatively impact environmental and social concerns. As a result, these initiatives should be reviewed and developed based on their expected sustainability performance to overcome the three obstacles you encounter in an integrated manner (Economical- Environmental-Social). Previous research in sustainable engineering has employed various strategies and approaches to solve this challenge. Value Engineering (VE) is a critical strategy that systematically assists managers in this field. Thus, integrating sustainability and Value Engineering (VE) will increase the value of an infrastructure project. This study aims to provide a framework incorporating VE and sustainability ideas for road repair in Egypt to improve project values. According to the findings, both VE and sustainability are in road maintenance. As a result, the relationship between the two was determined, and a framework for integrating sustainability and VE was developed.
