General comment The data selected for LCA analysis originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by ViaCon AB using the inventory data, ITB and Ecoinvent databases. 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 data for the processes comes from the following databases: Ecoinvent v.3.8 and ITB-Database. Specific data quality analysis was a part of external audit. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A. Production of the HelCor pipes is a line process conducted in the factory of ViaCon AB, located in Lycksele (Sweden). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production ViaCon AB were inventoried and 100% were allocated to the HelCor pipes production. Water and energy consumption (electrical grid, diesel), associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. Packaging materials were takien into consideration. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, 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 A. 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.

Technical purpose The HelCor pipes are helical corrugated pipes, produced from steel coils with thickness ranging from 1.5 mm to 3.5 mm in two types of corrugations D1 - 68 x 13 mm and D3 - 125 x 26 mm. Steel used for the production of HelCor pipes, as well as coupling bands, conform to EN 10346 and is delivered in coils, with a protection coating in accordance to a/m standards: • 600 g/m zinc coating total both sides, equivalent to 42 µm on each side, • 1000 g/m zinc coating total both sides, equivalent to 70 µm on each side, • 600 g/m zinc coating both sides, equivalent to 42 µm on each side, with an additional 300 µm polymer film (TrenchcoatTM or W-ProtectTM) on one or both sides. The HelCor pipes are designed for all road and railway live load classes as well as under the load of special vehicles. The pipes could be design just as continuously hot-dip galvanized and as an option with an additional 300 µm polymer film (TrenchcoatTM or W-ProtectTM) on one or both sides, in an environment with increased corrosive aggressiveness. The mechanical properties and specification of the HelCor pipes are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Application areas: • roads and railway culverts, • underground passages, • hydrotechnical structures, • relining of deteriorated structures, • ecological passages.
