EPD: Structural steel product, hot-rolled, North America average, 7850 kg/m3 (Gerdau (2022))
Gerdau is a global leader in the production of hot-rolled structural products. Gerdau Structural steel is manufactured from recycled steel – both pre-consumer and post-consumer scrap, demonstrating the company’s commitment to environmentally-responsible steel production. From hospitals in Montreal to schools in Texas, from data halls to fulfillment centers across North America, and from the Panama Canal to the bays of Alaska, Gerdau beams and piling products have proven the company’s commitment to consistently high production standards. Gerdau produces four distinct beam shapes in North America, providing a range of geometries to suit applications from construction to manufacturing. Gerdau also produces three primary categories of piling, typically used in deep foundation and geo-technical construction projects, such as foundations, marine, environmental and transportation. The Gerdau Steel Mills produces Wide Flange Beams, Miscellaneous Beams, Standard I-Beams, H-Piling, PS Flat Sheet Piling, and other structural size shapes. This Environmental Product Declaration is for 1 metric ton of fabricated structural steel produced by Gerdau facilities located in North American. The specific facilities included in the average are listed on the final page of this EPD. Structural steel is manufactured from steel scrap, melted in an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) followed by hot rolling, and by transport to external fabrication shops for fabrication of the final product.
