Why should you use ISO 13315‑6 - Environment management for concrete structures?
Remedial activities can also be carried out to enhance their functions and performances to adapt to changes in social circumstances. These activities cause environmental impacts, such as the input of resources including repair materials and fuels, greenhouse gas emissions including CO2, and waste disposal including construction wastewater and concrete rubble. Therefore, environmental management related to maintenance/remedial activities during the period of use of concrete structures is necessary.
ISO 13315‑6 provides procedures that can limit or keep the pollution at a minimum while carrying out the remedial/ maintenance activities. ISO 13315‑6 enables you to recycle concrete materials to create new concrete structures without compromising on the building’s structural and durability requirements.
