Teknikum’s TEKNICROSS Rubber Level Crossing element system gets Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) as First in the Industry An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified and registered document that communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products in a credible way. The International EPD® System is a global programme for environmental declarations, rooted in the Nordics dealing with regional environmental challenges since 1998. As of today, +400 organisations from almost 50 countries publish their EPDs via the programme.

Where the EPD is the final report, the foundation of any EPD is a lifecycle assessment (LCA). The LCA allows companies to evaluate their product’s environmental performance over its entire life-cycle. It takes into consideration the full value chain, from material extraction through to manufactured product, its usage stage and end of life.

Mr. Riku Sivula, Moulded products Business Unit Director of Teknikum Group, is excited to share the news of TEKNICROSS® EPD: “This is break-through for European rubber industry, as no other even remotely similar product have an EPD available for their industrial customers”, Mr. Sivula tells.

Overall safety as priority The direct benefit of Teknikum’s TEKNICROSS® Rubber Level Crossing system is that it will not grumble to pieces over time and leave holes or gaps to railway and road intersections – as is the case with other building materials. This is important aspect for the users: pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicle traffic.

The EPD of TEKNCIROSS® now adds more to the table: environmental safety. The declaration itself is very useful for the customers and also for the product development team.

“We are constantly developing Teknikum’s rubber compounds recipes. TEKNICROSS® includes both recycled rubber as well as highly tested, safe surface rubber with optimal friction and durability”, tells Ms. Mira Juutilainen, Product Development Manager of Teknikum Group.

“With this EPD we are able to take into consideration the full production chain even better”, Ms. Juutilainen explains.

The International EPD System is owned and operated

by EPD International AB. The program is operated in accordance with a.o. ISO 14025, ISO/TS14027, ISO 14040, ISO 14044 and ISO/TS14067. For construction products, EPD programme also complies with the European standard EN 15804 (A1 and A2) as well as ISO 21930.

“The EDP of TEKNICROSS® is fully in alignment with our strategic mission to drive sustainability in polymer technology”, he continues. “This EPD allows infra builders, rail project owners and cities to better evaluate the environmental aspects of their material options. For example, comparison to concrete or asphalt materials EPD”, Mr. Sivula concludes.

TEKNICROSS® Rubber level crossings in use at new Tampere Tramway, Finland A new tramway is been built for the city of Tampere, Finland, by Tampere Tramway Ltd. The total length of line tracks is 15 kilometers and the the number of lines is two: Hervanta line and TAYS line, connecting from the city centre to Hervanta and Tampere University Hospital.

The project was started in 2017 and the tramway traffic was started in 2021. Teknikum TEKNICROSS® rubber level crossings are included in the infrastructure at several road intersections, allowing safe crossing for vehicles and pedestrians.

Urban Transport Magazine

Below budget and on schedule: Tampere tramway inaugurated!

34 million EUR less than expected had to be spent and the planned opening date was met on time – that is by any means remarkable when it comes to the implementation of large infrastructure projects: We are talking about the new tramway in the Finnish city of Tampere, with 240,000 inhabitants the third largest town in the country.

Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin and the Mayor of Tampere, Lauri Lyly, officially inaugurated the new tram on 8 August 2021, along with numerous other invited guests and many spectators. Eight of the new low-floor trams were presented in the city centre. Regular service on the first two lines 1 and 3 will start as scheduled on Monday 9 August 2021.

To meet the needs of the growing city and urban area, a modern tramway system has been designed for Tampere.

The key goals of the tramway system include making the everyday life and transportation easier in the municipality, supporting the growth and development of the urban area, and increasing the appeal of the city.

About Tampere tramway by The Tramway Alliance

It is very special to us to have our near-by major city using our products, especially for two reasons.

Firstly, our rubber level crossing elements are designed for Nordic environment, cold icy temperatures, and come with self-cleaning features, among others.

Secondly, our rubber elements manufacturing supports sustainable economy. Our rubber compounds come from our own factory in Kerava, Finland, where chemists have taken into consideration both, great wear-resistance and EU’s RoHS directive compliant features.”

Customized solution according to rail type and environment Teknikum Group’s Business Unit Director of Moulded products, Mr. Riku Sivula, tells about the solution:

“Like we usually do, these rubber level crossings were custom designed for this project to meet the local requirements. Our modular TEKNICROSS® elements are easy to fit for different rail types and our design library consist of hundreds of types already – so the work goes swiftly. Also, we have thought a lot about enabling easy fixing. Our elements can be attached directly to rails without specific tools needed.”

Local products to complete the system Mr. Sivula is happy that the city of Tampere chose local products. “Our rubber products were recently awarded with the “Made in Finland” Key Flag symbol, which tells about the high-quality and sustainability of the product.

Rubber hoses for the rail industry

Teknikum RAIL-TEK™ Teknikum FUEL-TEK® SD 18

“We design and manufacture standard compliant hoses for demanding industrial applications, ensuring safety and efficiency.”

Timo Kokkonen Director Hoses Business Unit Teknikum Group

For the handling of oils, fuels and chemicals Teknikum suction and pressure hoses comply with chemical and other standards, and cover all uses in the transfer of substances such as industrial chemicals, fuels and oils, liquid and natural gas, corrosive substances, and solvents.

Teknikum industrial hose factory is the largest in the Nordics – operating since 1958.

19

A well-made hose with sufficient reinforcement layers is an important part of the railway sleeper impregnation process “Hoses need to be of a good quality, and Teknikum’s hoses are just that,” says Janne Tervonen, who works as a foreman at the Haapamäki railway sleeper impregnation plant.

“The impregnation agent removes the internal protective film over time. With poor-quality hoses, this happens very quickly. High-quality hoses last for at least two years, which is more than enough,” Tervonen points out.

Wood is a good and durable material under the rails because it is flexible and does not break. However, this material needs to be impregnated to ensure that it endures the soil, humidity, subzero temperatures and other conditions.

“During the busiest time in the summer, we are supplied with up to six loads of impregnation agent per month.

Depending on the delivery vehicle, 36 or 27 metric tons of material run through a hose, and the hose should endure at least two million kilos of material,” Tervonen says.

NRC Group Finland’s railway sleeper impregnation plant in Haapamäki in Central Finland is a Nordic expert in this field.

“During the railway contract season, we are continuously impregnating sleepers for construction sites. If we fail to deliver, projects will stop, which will increase costs. We also produce electricity and telecom poles for export, and ships will not wait while we replace a hose.”

“At our plant, pine wood is impregnated in pressure and heat to ensure that it lasts for at least 40 years,” Foreman Janne Tervonen explains.

The impregnation agent is made from creosote, which is a coal distillate generated as a side stream in the steel industry.

“It was one of the first industrial by-products to be exploited. It has been used as an impregnation agent for more than 150 years. All hazardous toxins are removed, and only constituents suitable for impregnation are used,” Tervonen says.

To ensure that impregnation is safe and effective, hoses are required that are resistant to heat, cold and, in particular, dissolution.

20

According to Tervonen, a well-made hose with sufficient reinforcement layers is an essential part of the railway sleeper impregnation process. Such hoses are manufactured in Finland only by Teknikum.

“We seek to acquire the highest-quality product, which Teknikum provides. Teknikum FUEL-TEK® SD is a durable and reliable product with an excellent price-to-quality ratio, and it’s manufactured in Sastamala, Finland,” Tervonen says.

“Another advantage is that Teknikum’s hoses don’t break suddenly. They give signs of failure in advance, which is a useful feature for us. When the performance of the hose begins to decrease over time, the material runs more slowly through the hose, and we are able to replace the hose before the internal protective film is completely removed.”

“Hoses need to be of a good quality, and Teknikum’s hoses are just that,” says Janne Tervonen, who works as a foreman at the Haapamäki railway sleeper impregnation plant.

“I called Technical Sales at Teknikum, and they contacted a rubber chemist to ensure that Teknikum FUEL-TEK® SD is suitable for our use. I know it will be a reliable hose for at least two years, if not longer. We are very pleased with the quality provided by Teknikum, for we cannot afford to stop the impregnation process because of a low-quality hose,” Mr. Tervonen sums up.

“At times, we weren’t able to acquire Teknikum’s hoses from our internal store, and had to use other hoses instead. One of the hoses lasted for only one summer. The following ones lasted for two months or so.”

After these experiences, Tervonen set out to explore the availability of higher-quality hoses.

“I called Technical Sales at Teknikum, and they contacted a rubber chemist to ensure that Teknikum FUEL-TEK® SD is suitable for our use. I know it will be a reliable hose for at least two years, if not longer. We are very pleased with the quality provided by Teknikum, for we cannot afford to stop the impregnation process because of a low-quality hose,” Tervonen sums up.

Timo Kokkonen, Director, Hoses Business Unit at Teknikum, says that the company invests in product development and the overall quality of products. The company serves many types of industrial plants in an agile manner. Industrial hoses are also available from specialist dealers throughout Finland.

“Teknikum develops safe and environmentally friendly industrial hoses, beginning with rubber grades. Our goal is to ensure the customer’s processes for transferring demanding materials such as chemicals and

oils. The railway industry is an important market for us, as we manufacture a wide range of products for the Nordic countries and Europe, including air brake hoses, fire-resistant rubber mats for railroad cars, rubber plates and seals, rubber buffers, technical plastic parts for rail mounting systems, and rubber discs,” Kokkonen says.

“Teknikum’s TEKNICROSS® rubber level crossings can be found in the new tram line in Tampere. Other important customer sectors include power plants, the mining industry and the heavy process industry, all of which have high requirements for solutions.”
