The material-saving bridge cost about $700,000 to construct, about 30 percent cheaper than a regular concrete arch design.

The use of a shell is a material-saving technique, and for foundations, only forms that are not labour intensive are adopted.

Such material-saving flat arches occur in ancient bridges of the Veneto region quite frequently, leading to suggestions of a local building school.

Manifolds are often made of cast iron in stock production cars, and may have material-saving design features such as to use the least metal, to occupy the least space necessary, or have the lowest production cost.

The findings inspired AUO to adopt innovative energy and material-saving concepts in the very early stage of R&D. By lowering energy consumption on the consumer's side at the product design stage, the amount of carbon emission could be reduced substantially, leaving lighter carbon footprints.

An epi-illumination system is a good intermediate between the stereo microscope and a scanning electron microscope, offering magnification at high power that can aid in evaluation of potential scanning electron microscope specimens, as well as the time- and material-saving feature of being able to eliminate unsuitable scanning electron microscope specimens.

There is no flash produced so material savings are between 20 and 30% over conventional forging.

The main contractor is also responsible for working with the design team to identify potential material savings from the design.

"These prepayment transactions are intended to result in material savings of interest costs in future years," it added.

This creates time and material savings that can potentially substantially reduce construction costs and time.

The material savings becomes even more significant at larger volumes, and even more so when using expensive materials, such as copper.

Energy and raw materials savings as replacing many single use products with one reusable one reduces the number that need to be manufactured.

The aeration method accrues to the bakery three production economies: material savings, time savings, and labour savings.

Technical developments in both polyethylene film and paper production have led to material savings of about a third for the same performance, good news environmentally and commercially.

Emerging new cost structures may lead to increasing or decreasing market prices, depending on the trade-off between material savings and compliance costs for disposal and recycling.

Kim Il Sung's New Year slogan "Speed of the 1990s" called for increased production through harder work and material savings with little promise of improved living standards.

Harold Ransburg founded Ransburg Electrostatic Equipment and discovered that electrostatic spray painting was an immediate success as manufacturers quickly perceived the substantial materials savings that could be achieved.

And - despite the time and material savings which can be achieved using the Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional, extensive testing has shown that the surface quality achieved is even better with the one-step process.

Forming and rolling produce no swarf and less material is required because the blank size starts smaller than a blank required for cutting threads; there is typically a 15 to 20% material savings in the blank, by weight.

Also, unlike recycling which only reclaims part of the materials within a waste stream, reconditioning reclaims more material savings, as well as most of the energy and labor energy used to manufacturer the original product, making reconditioning a more environmentally sustainable practice than recycling.
