date is continuous existence of the Corps of Engineers

lead by a military Chief of Engineers.

after Mississippi River floods

Hartwell Dam on the

Savannah River

BUILDING STRONG®

(General Dam Act 1906)

1941 – Formal distinction made between Combat and Military Construction

WW II – First women engineers work for Corps

Post WWII – Corps into R & D as well as major engineering projects and

studies in foreign countries

Past 30 years – water resource management

What is Value Engineering?

BUILDING STRONG®

“An organized study of functions to satisfy the

user’s needs with a quality product at the

lowest life cycle cost through applied

creativity”.

Definition of Value Engineering

BUILDING STRONG®

•1996: National Defense Authorization Act, (amending the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act) Public Law 104-106, Section 4306 Section 36, Sub par. (a) & (b):

“Each executive agency shall establish and maintain cost effective Value Engineering procedures and processes… As used in this section, the term Value Engineering means, an analysis of the functions of the program, facility, service, or supply of an executive agency, performed by a qualified agency or contractor personnel, directed at improving performance, reliability, quality, safety, and life cycle costs.

Corps of Engineers Trivial Pursuit 1876 – Henry M. Robert, later Brigadier General and Chief of Engineers

(1901), publishes his Pocket Manual of Rules of Order, a compendium of parliamentary law better known today as Robert's Rules of Order.

1896 – James Connolly, a Savannah District employee, wins the first Olympic Gold medal ever at Athens, Greece in the triple jump. He also finished second in the high jump and third in the long jump.

1904 – The Corps of Engineers took over the failing Panama Canal project and saw it through to its successful completion.

1926 – after the fatal floods in central Florida, the local residents and government commission the Corps to drain the Everglades to avert future flooding.

Sep 1941 – Jan 1943 – the Corps designs and constructs the Pentagon in Washington, DC – 16 months!

Last but not least!

The Savannah District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did NOT design and construct the Federal “bathroom” buildings in downtown Savannah!!!!! All facilities occupied by the Corps throughout the US are designed, constructed and leased by GSA!
