Mojokerto, as a key economic center in East Java, faces increasing demands for reliable and efficient road infrastructure to support its economic growth and regional connectivity. The lack of adequate retaining walls along the Bendung-Bantengan road section has resulted in significant road damages, including cracks and subsidence, which pose risks to road users and increase maintenance costs. This study investigates the application of Value Engineering (VE) as a strategic method to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of retaining wall construction in the area. Using secondary data from topographic surveys and triaxial soil tests, the study evaluates various design alternatives to identify cost savings, stability improvements, and impacts on project duration. The results demonstrate that adopting VE (Alternative 1) reduces construction costs by IDR 284,244,698 through optimized structural dimensions, while maintaining quality and stability standards. Additionally, the project completion period is shortened to 121 days, offering a faster turnaround compared to the initially planned six-month schedule. The findings emphasize VE's potential to optimize material use, minimize waste, and achieve environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions during construction. Moreover, VE enables enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, including consultants and contractors, to develop effective and efficient solutions for infrastructure challenges. This research underscores the importance of integrating VE during the planning stages of infrastructure projects, particularly in areas with high erosion risks. By applying VE principles, the Bendung-Bantengan retaining wall project not only meets safety and quality requirements but also contributes to long-term infrastructure resilience and economic efficiency in Mojokerto.
