Building, component and connector typologies of precast concrete building systems

A visualisation of the order of precast concrete elements at three different scales of building, component, and connector. The diagrams describe and become a way of identifying which system a component belongs to. It also identifies the prevalence of characteristics in precast systems by building, component or connector types.D1.2 is based on the work done in Task 1.2.

Guidelines for a BIM-aided pre-deconstruction audit

Guidelines are given for the structure content and procedures of a predeconstruction audit when component reuse is the ultimate aim while implementing a BIM approach The recommendations focus on the preharvesting processes and linking elements to their taxonomic data ie WP 1 data and their individual properties ie data from the current WP and WP 4D21 is based on the work done in Task 21

Real-life deconstruction pilots of the ReCreate project

At least three real-life deconstruction pilots (FI, DE, NL) – in SE, deconstruction may take partly place on company funding prior to the beginning of the ReCreate project. The pilot has been successfully implemented when the elements have been deconstructed from the donor building.D2.3 is based on the work done in Task 2.3.

Best practice guidelines and recommendations for reuse-optimised deconstruction

Based on the experiences and know how developed in the real-life pilots, this report will evaluate the projects on their merits and drawbacks and formulate the overall recommendations regarding the deconstruction phase. Different deconstruction and harvesting techniques for precast elements are evaluated, comparing deconstruction processes and equipment from economic, technical, work safety and sustainability viewpoints with recommendations for the development of equipment. Recommendations and general methodology for achieving an optimised deconstruction process, which starts with the pre-deconstruction audit feeding the data into the design and BIM environment, combined withquality management requirements and LCA calculations, thus optimising the overall reuse benefit balance. A methodology towards deconstruction optimisation in relation to new designs and to be used as input for design optimisation in WP5.D2.2 is based on the work done in Task 2.2.

Procedure for quality management of reclaimed concrete elements

Methods and procedure described and tested in pilot project. Results feed T2.1, T3.3 and T5.1–T5.3.D4.1 is based on the work done in Task 4.1.

Properties and quality of precast concrete elements deconstructed in ReCreate’s pilots

Testing methods described in T4.3 and T4.4 will be used to ensure elements for reuse. The documentation of the necessary test will be fed to T5.4.D4.2 is based on the work done in Tasks 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.

Actor ecosystems and critical actors in precast concrete reuse

Critical actors identified that are needed to implement the ReCreate value chain commercially (including both direct and indirect actors as well as currently existing actors and possibly missing actors). These mappings depict the actors and linkages between them, and consequently, structures of the business ecosystem as well gaps and dynamics within it. D7.1 is based on the work done in Task 7.1.

Business model canvases for precast concrete element reuse

Business model canvases for concrete reuse are identified, analysed and developed. This includes the value proposition (offering, customers), how value is captured (costs, revenues) and how value is delivered (e.g. partners, channels) through concrete reuse. Business model canvases provide profound understanding on how concrete reuse businesses are construed on company, system and process levels and enable developing business models for concrete reuse.D7.2 is based on the work done in Task 7.2.

Legal and technical requirements in reusing precast concrete

A document in aid of project planning employing reused concrete elements. D8.2 is based on the work done in Task 8.2.

Guide to coalition building for circular construction

The policy processes that the actors face during the implementation of the pilot projects are identified through document analysis and interviews with policy makers. Consequently, a guide on important policy-making considerations for planning reused concrete elements in building projects is created. D8.1 is based on the work done in Task 8.1.
