  Value engineering is an important part of the process of designing and realising large-scale installations such as high power accelerators. This typically occurs during the later part of the design stage of the system, however such exercises may also be requested by funding bodies at later stages in order to manage project contingency. Naturally, the later this is done, the more challenging it becomes. In this paper we report on a recently concluded Value Engineering effort at the European Spallation Source. The challenges presented by the initiation of such an exercise during the construction phase are discussed. In addition, we present and discuss the various options that we examined, and indicate the philosophy and figures of merit used to narrow down these options. The final conclusion will be presented.

  Linac4, CERN's new H injector Linac uses PI-Mode Structures (PIMS) for the energy range between 103 and 160 MeV. 180 copper elements for 12 PIMS cavities have been fabricated in a collaboration between CERN, NCBJ and FZJ from 2011 to 2016. The cavities have been assembled, RF tuned and validated at CERN. This paper reports on the results as well as the experience with construction, installation, RF conditioning and first operation with beam.
