Sandwich panel Cover  

Precast concrete sandwich panel sector EPD

Precast concrete sandwich panels consist mainly of two panels of reinforced concrete with insulation sandwiched between the two layers. Sandwich panels are manufactured with varying heights, widths and depths. Typically the outer precast leaf would be 100mm deep and the inner one would be 150mm. Insulation depth would vary according to type and density. In this EPD, a 240mm deep mineral insulation is assumed.

UK Average CEM I sector EPD

This declared CEM I cement is a sector average EPD, modelled using aggregated data from all MPA member sites which manufacture cement. It covers 100% of CEM I produced in the UK. 

In the UK, secondary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as Fly Ash or GGBS, are typically added after the cement has left the factory, at the concrete mixing plant.
