This document will provide Product Category Rules (PCR) for the assessment of the environmental performance of Levee, Dykes and Embankments, and the declaration of this performance by an EPD. The corresponding UN CPC for this product category is UN CPC subclass 53234 - Irrigation and flood control waterworks.
A levee is a composite hydraulic structure designed mainly to function as a flood defence system by providing a continuous barrier to prevent or redirect flow of water from rivers, lakes, water bodies or storm surges. It would generally operate under hydrostatic or hydrodynamic conditions.This PCR intends to include structures used for water flow control, flood prevention and tide protection.
The products covered are the following:
- River levees
- Sea levees
- Floodwalls
- Slopes and supporting facilities such as water gates and aprons
- Floodbanks
This Levee PCR will primarly, but not exclusively, be applied in the AEC (arquitecture, engineering and construction) sector, with applications in public infrastructure as well.
Synonyms for levees include:
- Dykes (dike)
- Embankments
