You will also find below Life Cycle Assessments comparing the environmental impact of different solutions for the execution of the retaining walls of two case studies
- a quay wall of a cruise ships terminal,
- an underground car park.
The latest brochure describes in a simple manner the differences between an LCA and an EPD. It contains sound recommendations to compare the environmental footprint of alternative solutions based on EPDs, and enumerates some misconceptions that we have come across recently.
Environmental criteria - LCA - EPD
How can we reduce the carbon footprint of civil engineering projects? In infrastructure, defining and monetizing environmental criteria based on EPDs and LCAs is one method used in public procurement in the Netherlands.
Sustainability of steel sheet piles - overview
An overview of the benefits of steel sheet piles in terms of sustainability and circular economy.
LCA - Ports
Life Cycle Assessment comparing the environmental impact (focusing on the greenhouse gas emissions) of two different solutions for the execution of a quay wall for a cruise ships terminal. Drafted by our R&D department, based on a design of the structure performed by an independent consulting engineering firm, and peer-reviewed by a panel of three independent experts.
LCA - UCP
Life Cycle Assessment comparing the environmental impact of four different solutions for the execution of the retaining wall of an underground car park. Drafted by our R&D department, based on a design of the structure performed by an independent consulting engineering firm, and peer-reviewed by independent experts.
