| General comment on data set | Sheet pile with tongue and groove, including purlin beam and fasteners, durability class 1-2 (NEN-EN 350), strengthclass D70 (NEN-EN 1912), calculations are possible with D-sheet piling; 3cm thick/3 m1 long upto max 10 cm thick and 10 m1 long.Scope and type: The dataset is an average EPD, representative for African sheet pile, harvested and initial production in Africa, transported to the Netherlands, installed in the Netherlands, the LCA is calculated with EcoInvent 3.6 in combination of the NMD process database calculations performed with Simapro version 9.5.Representativeness: the data is representative for the situation in Africa, in cases where economic allocation is applied, this is sensitive to fluctuations. The data is only applicable for wood from sustainable forest.Calculation rules: Data is from 2018-2020, and still representative in 2024, the production process is not changed. Economic allocation is applied if allocation could not be avoided. All material and energy flows are considered. The profile is scalable where a linear scaling can be applied for the thickness.Scenarios and additional technical information Within module A1-A3 the complete production of the sheetpile is considered. Module A4 considers the transport to the port and to the Netherlands. In module A5 installation at the building site is considered with a crane. there is no maintenance, so module B is empty. In module C1 the removal by a crane is considered. the removed sheetpile is in module C2 transported to a timeryard. In module C3 the sheet pile is further processed, either sawn to new products, prepared for reuse, the unuseable parts are in an AVI burned for energy recovery. in C4 the impacts due to landfill, as usually part of the sheet pile remains in the soil, are considered. The loads and benefits beyond the system boundary are considered in module D. There are no harmfull substances present in amounts exceeding 0,1%.Declaration of SVHC: the product does not contain SVHC in amounts exceeding 0,1%More information: https://www.houtindegww.nl |

| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | The azobe logs are harvested with a chainsaw in certified forests. The logs are transported to the sawmill, sawn and profiled to sheet pile. Thereafter the sheet pile is stacked for transport. The sheet piles are transported by boat and truck to the port and with large breakbulk ships transported to the Netherlands. From the lumberyard the sheet pile is transported to the location of use, installed using a crane and connected with galvanized screws and bolts and includes a purlin beam. The reference service life is 37 years. For the end-of-life a specific scenario is used where, based on research, 5% landfill (left in the soil) is assumed, 15% incineration in AVI, 40% sold for reuse as other products and 40% reuse where the lower part of the sheetpile is used as upperpart in the new application. |
