| Technical purpose of product or process | Pecor pipes are are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with double wall. Corrugated outside wall of pipes provides high stiffness SN4 (4kPa). SN6 (6kPa). SN8 (8kPa). Smooth inside wall allows to achieve optimal hydraulic parameters. PECOR OPTIMA® system is widely used in civil engineering. Due to the fast assembly and very good strength and hydraulic parameters, the system has received wide recognition among designers and contractors. Unique spiral structural wall allows to get the optimal stress distribution on the whole pipe length and ensure the proper ring stiffness on each section. Smooth inside wall of PECOR OPTIMA® pipes allows to achieve good hydraulic parameters. PECOR OPTIMA® pipes produced by ViaCon Romania are perfect for use in engineered structures: roads and railway culverts, shaft construction, ecological passages (for animals), relining of existing old culverts,- forestry culverts. Pipes are light-weighted and easy to assembly thanks to structure and raw material used for the production.P ECOR OPTIMA® pipes are produced with double wall, smooth inside and corrugated outside. The corrugation is stiff and can interact with surrounded soil. The standard lengths of PECOR OPTIMA® pipes are L= 6 m, 7 m, 8 m (pipes from DN 300 mm to 1200 mm), but aldo other required dimensions, from 3 m up to 12 m. Pecor Quattro pipes are produced in range diameter DN/ID 200 -1000 mm. Pipes are produced acc. to norm SR-EN 13476-3. Pipe bell is formed at the production stage and it is integrated part of pipe which allows fast assembly. The rubber sealing ring mounted on the end of pipe guarantees tightness. Pecor Quattro pipes are used for building : gravity sewage system and storm water, road and railway culverts, culverts under forest roads, ecological culverts for small animals, retention tanks. Pecor Quattro system consists of: pipe jointing sleeves, double- bell couplings, elbows: 15°, 30°,45°, 90°, T-pipes: 45°, 90°, reducers, watertight connectors for concrete wells, Pecor Quattro wells.

| General comment on data set | The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by producer using the inventoried data, ITB database and Ecoinvent v.3.9.1. No specific data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The representativeness, completeness, reliability, and consistency are judged as good. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A v. 1.6. Production of the plastic pipes and retention tanks is a line process conducted in the manufacturing plant of VIACON ROMANIA SRL located in Prejmer (Romania). All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production were inventoried and 100% was allocated to the production of the steel products based on the products mass basis. Water and energy consumption, associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. The weighted average effect of the coatings is used. Utilization of packaging material was taken into consideration. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, A4, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ITB PCR. Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculations. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804+A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA. |
