| Use advice for data set | Type of EPD: Cradle to gate. Module A1: Production of ancillary materials. Module A2: Transportation to the quarry. Module A3: Aggregates extraction, crushing and sizing at the site and waste treatment. Module C1: Mechanical removal of unbound aggregates with a hydraulic excavator. Module C2: Transportation of the recovered aggregates to a reuse site. Module C3: Reuse of unbound aggregates in another similar project, re-laid using a hydraulic excavator. Module C4: No aggregates are expected to reach landfill. Module D: Credits from the avoided production of primary aggregates. Burdens: none (no further processing assumed). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Technical purpose of product or process | Aggregates provide strength and stability to concrete and asphalt mixes by distributing loads and stresses. Their size, shape, and texture influence the workability of concrete mixes. Porous aggregates like gravel and crushed stone promote drainage and permeability in construction applications. They allow water to flow through, reducing the risk of water accumulation and damage. Natural aggregates are also used in landscaping and architectural applications to enhance the visual appeal of surfaces and structures. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Technology description including background system | Natural granitic aggregates are materials commonly used in construction and civil engineering that are sourced directly from natural deposits. These aggregates are typically formed through natural processes and are widely utilized in various construction applications due to their physical properties and availability. The product complies with the established standard NP EN 13043 and can be consulted in its performance declaration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
