cf591943-3fde-4e96-b1c4-fd9eff4346c5 EJ Fabricated Steel Access Cover (IE) The dataset is representative for the production processes used in 2023. The data Quality Level, according to Table E.1 of EN15804+A2, Annex E, is as follows: • Time Representativeness is considered to be Very Good • Geographical Representativeness is considered to be Good • Technical Representativeness is considered to be Good Allocation of energies, electricity types and amounts to the various manufacturing processes is based on mass The cut-off criteria of section 6.3.6 of EN15804+A2 have been followed. 1 2024 2029 2024-06-14 IE More technical data: https://www.igbc.ie/epd/ej-fabricated-steel-access-cover-ie/ EJ steel fabricated lift assist access covers are designed to give the operator easy access to their assets. The lift assist covers are designed to have a maximum lifting effort of 25kg meaning they can be opened through a single person lift. All units are manufactured to order at EJ Birr, Ireland production facility. They can be manufactured to bespoke sizes and configurations ensuring the customers’ full needs are met. Configurations include Single, Twins & Multiple units. Size of the representative product for LCA is 1400x800 mm. The product complies fully with the standard EN124:2015. For more information: https://www.igbc.ie/epd/ej-fabricated-steel-access-cover-ie/ The manufacturing process for fabricated steel access covers begins with the design of the access cover based on the specific requirements and configuration according to EJ client's needs. Then, steel sheets are cut into desired size and shape for the access cover. This may involve using cutting methods such as plasma or cutting saw. The cut steel pieces are then formed into the required shape through bending. This is done using presses to achieve precise angles and contours. The waste generated from the cutting process are off cuts which are collected in a scrap metal collection skip. This skip is collected by the waste collection service supplier and transported via road to a local scrap metal recycling facility. The bent steel components are assembled and welded to form the structure of the access cover. Welding ensures that the pieces are securely joined and provides structural integrity. The method used for welding is gas welding using blended gases as a fuel. The access covers undergo surface treatment to enhance its corrosion resistance and durability. This is done by means of hot-dip galvanizing, which provides a protective zinc coating. The galvanization of the access cover is done externally so the access covers are transported to a facility via a third party. Once returned to EJ manufacturing site, various features are added to the access covers as needed, such as handles, locking mechanisms, or lifting points. The completed access covers then undergo final quality control checks before being packaged for transportation and delivered. The packaging used for the access covers is a wooden pallet and banding to strap the access covers securely EPD EN 15804:2012+A1:2013, EPD Ireland PCR Part A. specific dataset ecoinvent database (all
