Scope:This EPD declaration is relevant to AgiliaTM Ready-mixed Concrete manufactured by Aggregate Industries UK Limited at their Newbold plant in the United Kingdom. Aggregate Industries UK Limited provided the underlying data for the calculation of the LCA and is responsible for the provision of the correct data. The life cycle assessment was calculated with the Life Cycle Analyzer, a tool from BASF developed with support of thinkstep AG. Therefore, BASF is liable for the correct use of the Life Cycle Analyzer and not for the inserted manufacturer data.The owner of the declaration shall be liable for the underlying information and evidence; the IBU shall not be liable with respect to manufacturer information, life cycle assessment data and evidences.Verification

Product

Product description / Product definitionReady-mix concrete is manufactured in stationary or mobile concrete batching plants. The concrete is a composite material basically manufactured to a set recipe/mix design by mixing cement, water and aggregates. Additionally, concrete additives and admixtures can be used to change and improve the concrete properties in fresh and/or hardened state. Ready-mix concrete is normally transported in a fresh state to the construction site by truck mounted transit mixers and is poured into formwork, compacted when necessary, cured and demoulded after hydration in the hardened state and shape.

The engineering properties of AgiliaTM Ready-mix Concrete may be taken as being in all respects similar to conventional concrete and for design purposes should be assumed to be those stated in /BS EN 1992-1-1/:

ApplicationReady-mix concrete is used as a construction material for building works, to be placed on-site. The selected ready-mix concrete is used as finished element for construction (residential, non-residential, infrastructure).

AgiliaTM Ready-mix Concrete conforms to the requirements of European standard /BS EN 206:2013/and with the requirements of /BS 8500-1:2015/ and BS 8500-2:2015/.

Base materials / Ancillary materials

List of main basic materials and ancillary materials: Name Value UnitCement 5 - 15 %Admixtures <1 %SCM (Supplementary Cementitious Materials) 5 - 15 %

Sand 30 - 45 %Aggregates 25 - 40 %Additives <1 %Water 1 - 15 %

The product does not contain materials that are listed in “Candidate List of Substances of Very High Concern for Authorisation” /REACH/.

Reference service lifeThe construction's life time is defined to be 60 years, while the service life of the concrete product is 60 years. This results in 0 complete replacements.

LCA: Calculation rules

Declared UnitThe declared unit is:

Name Value UnitDeclared unit 1 m3

Density 2332 kg/m3

Conversion factor to 1 kg 0.000429 -

System boundaryThe type of EPD is cradle-to-gate. The system boundaries include the life cycle stages as follows, which are accordant to /EN 15804/:

Raw material extraction and processing (module A1)

Transport to manufacturer (module A2) Manufacturing (A3)

The background data applied for the calculation of the LCA is representative for Europe and is derived from the /GaBi database/.

The energy demand for manufacturing of concrete is not a main contributor to the LCA results and therefore can be estimated with European background data. The life cycle assessment was calculated with the Life Cycle Analyzer, a tool from BASF developed with support of thinkstep AG. For the admixtures data from BASF /BASF 2011/ and existing Model EPDs /Bauchemie 2014/ are used. The underlying primary data was collected by Aggregate Industries UK Limited for their Newbold plant in the United Kingdom and is representative for the production year of 2016.

ComparabilityBasically, a comparison or an evaluation of EPD data is only possible if all the data sets to be compared were created according to /EN 15804/ and the building context, respectively the product-specific characteristics of performance, are taken into account. .

LCA: Scenarios and additional technical information

This EPD focuses on the manufacturing stage of AgiliaTM Ready-mix Concrete (modules A1- A3). Therefore, no information on modules A4, B1-B7, C1-C4 and D is provided in this section of the EPD.
