| Use advice for data set | This document refers to the production of C40/50 XM1/XM2 S3 31,5mm concrete, mix code 000000000016035494 Version 1 produced in the plant of Metamorfosi of Heracles Group for use as ready-mix concrete of normal building construction and civil engineering. Type of EPD: cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, and module D (A1–A3 + C + D and additional modules A4, A5 and B1) The selected system boundaries include the production of the concrete including the extraction of raw materials through to the installation, use and end of life of the finished product. Module A1: Extraction and processing of the raw materials used in concrete production Module A2: Transport of the raw materials to the plant Module A3: Concrete production in the plant and waste treatment Module A4: Transport to the construction site Module A5: Includes all processes associated with placing the concrete (e.g. pumping or installation by crane) as well as the production, transport and treatment of unused concrete (e.g. return concrete) Module B1: Carbonation during the use phase Module B2-B7: For concrete components, maintenance, repair refurbishment or replacement measures are not usually required during the reference service life. Therefore, no environmental burden is considered in these modules Module C1: Dismantling / demolition of concrete buildings / components Module C2: Transport of demolished concrete for processing Module C3: Concrete waste processing Module D: Benefits and loads for the use of concrete demolition waste as replacement for primary materials |
| Technical purpose of product or process | Concrete is a widely used building material in the construction industry. It is used for example for the construction of walls, stairs, floor, foundations, bored piles or even complete structures such as bridges. |

| General comment on data set | Concrete is produced by mixing cement, aggregates and water with potentially additional cementitious materials, fibers and additives. The fresh concrete is generally poured into formwork, compacted and hardened in the desired form by hydration of the cement to form a solid artificial rock. |

| Technology description including background system | The dosed aggregates are first premixed with cement as a binding agent and other additives. The mixture is then mixed with water to form a plastically deformable fresh concrete. This is transported to the customer where it is placed in the prepared formwork and compacted. To ensure the quality of the concrete, quality assurance systems is installed in Metamorfosi plant, which is based on the requirements for in-house production control in BS 8500 standard. |
