Sustainable decision support based on relevant data

Reduced life cycle impacts of future infrastructure maintenance
Challenge
Planned construction projects will require maintenance for many years to come. LCA can help stakeholders to identify opportunities to reduce resource use and climate impact of infrastructure maintenance over the life cycle.
Expected results
Methods for integrating life cycle impacts of road and rail infrastructure maintenance in procurement of construction projects and in long term planning of the Swedish road and rail network.
