SR113 Environmental impacts associated with New Zealand structural steel manufacture (2007)

This report details the environmental impacts associated with the extraction/acquisition, transportation and manufacture of engineering steel plate in New Zealand.

The methodology used in this report is based on a previous Canadian study. However, this report relies very much on the information provided by the manufacturers and is therefore not as broad or detailed. It is part of a series of BRANZ reports examining the environmental profiles of a variety of basic building materials, based on the life cycle analysis approach.

This report is intended for environmental engineers, building technologists and environmental researchers.
