![]() The emissions and primary energy inputs in the product stage are clearly dominated by concrete and steel. Hotspots of the different stages are related to the construction materials used. The contribution of the various processes was reproduced by hotspot. Wood inherent biogenic carbon and primary energy, used as raw material, are treated as materials inherent properties (CEN, 2014). Since the production of some construction materials takes place locally, the generic data, for Austria, was adapted. The LCA methodology has been developed from existing standards of the construction and product sector. The iterative approach of LCA methodology (ISO, 2006a) was used to record all important processes of the system and to supplement missing information. ![]() This article explains an LCA methodology for the product stage and the construction process of torrent control structures following existing standards. ![]() To find these environmental burdens, 17 construction projects of the “Austrian Service for Torrent and Avalanche Control” (WLV) were analyzed using the “cradle to gate with options” LCA methodology (CEN, 2013). The purpose of this article is to find a suitable life cycle assessment (LCA) method to quantify the most important environmental burdens caused by construction processes of torrent control structures. ![]()
