Tiivistelmä
The first aim of the thesis work was to describe the inspection of disassembled elements of the steel frame and create a template for inspection report. It was done on the basis of a case presented by TTV-kiinteistöt Oy. The considered case was “Relocating a steel envelope of a one-storey warehouse”.
The automated excel sheet was created suitable for dimensional tolerance inspection report for CFRHS profiles and I-beams. It can be requested from the author of the thesis.
The second aim of the research was to calculate and compare the environmental impact of newly manufactured warehouse with relocated warehouse. The impact was represented by global warming potential in CO2eq.
The results show that the decision to reuse steel can give significant reduction in CO2 emissions, because the manufacturing of new steel has considerably high negative environmental impacts when compared to transportation and construction.
