ISO 13315‑6 is the sixth part of the ISO 13315 multi-series that discusses environment management for concrete structures.
ISO 13315‑6 provides the principles and procedures of environmental management for maintenance/remedial activities of concrete structures, and environmental management during the operation of concrete structures.
When the environmental design of a concrete structure is to be carried out based on ISO 13315‑4, ISO 13315‑6 provides detailed information on the design for its use stage.
ISO 13315‑6 on environment management for concrete structures is useful for:
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.
