Welded and zinc coated steel structures (Heidelberg Materials SBC Latvia SIA)

The EPD (type: Cradle to gate with options, modules C1-C4 and module D (A1-A4, C, D)) is based on LCA of the custom made welded and zinc coated steel structures, manufactured in Olaine, Latvia. The calculation is based on 1 metric ton of welded and galvanized steel structure with a share of 93,7% steel materials. Kiwa-Ecobility Experts shall not be liable with respect to manufacturer information, life cycle assessment data and evidence.

Welded and zinc coated steel structures are customized construction components for many applications in the construction industry. The zinc layer is formed by immersing the steel structures into melted liquid zinc. The steel structures are manufactured according to EN 1090-2, up to EXC 4, and are CE- marked. UN CPC code: 421 Structural metal products and parts thereof. The steel structures of industrial and civil objects from SIA Heidelberg Materials SBC Latvia are made according to drawings. The manufacturing route contains the following processes: - Extraction and delivery of raw materials; - Cutting (plasma cutting, sawing, drilling etc.); - Assembling; - Welding; - Galvanizing (outsourcing); - Storage; - Transportation (delivery of finished products).

Hot-dipped galvanized steel structures are especially appreciated in objects that are located in an aggressive, corrosion-enhancing environment. Zinc coated steel structures can be used in various areas of civil and industrial construction, for example, construction of bridges, telecommunication towers, engineering, industrial and public buildings, as well as in the agriculture and energy industry.
