EPD: Reinforcement steel (rebars, welded mesh and truss), CA-60 (GERDAU ACOS LONGOS S.A.)

Reinforcing Steel Bar Gerdau CA-60 is rolled from wire machine and is used in a wide range of construction projects as the framework for reinforced concrete. CUM and SJC sites receive wire machine, coils/ stockers/ ribbed wire which goes through a number of processes that result in the products listed in Table 1. The Gerdau CA-60 is the Gerdau brand for rebar produced in the CA60 category.
