The EPD represents steel structures made from hot-rolled open profiles, such as HEA-, HEB- or IPE-profiles, at Nordec's factories in Ylvieska (Finland), Peräseinäjoki (Finland), Gargzdai (Lithuania) and Oborniki (Poland). Steel structures represented in this EPD include, but is not restricted to, beams, columns, trusses and braces. The streel structures are used in all types of buildings, industrial projects and infrastructure. The steel sturctures are most often delivered painted from factory, reducing the use of chemicals on site and amount of work to be done on site. Different painting systems, including intumescent coating, are used and chosen based on project requirements. The broad range of different hot-rolled open profiles, thicknesses and dimensions allows the product to be designed efficiently, using the full potential of the material, and allowing for products of varying size, length and use.
