What is the HyndsLC® range?
The HyndsLC® range of reinforced concrete pipes and precast concrete products combines Hynds Pipe Systems industry-leading product ranges with industry-proven carbon reduction technology to deliver the same level of quality and performance with a lower carbon footprint.
The HyndsLC® range enables contractors to meet project sustainability requirements without having to compromise on quality, durability, time and cost. By using the same joint profiles, dimensions and lifting anchors, the products can be installed in the exact same way as Hynds standard product ranges, making it easier for contractors.
Hynds have also committed to keeping this range cost competitive to support the infrastructure industries decarbonisation goals. The range can be tailored to meet specific project requirements and embodied carbon reduction targets.

How large are the carbon reductions?
The carbon reduction of a HyndsLC® product is compared to the standard Hynds offering of the same product from the same factory. In this way we are reporting a real carbon reduction, as opposed to being based on an industry benchmark.
The HyndsLC® range is available in a set of standard reductions:
LC25: Our lower carbon concrete and raw materials option to provide an average manufactured product carbon reduction of 25%. We have delivered LC25 products with carbon reductions ranging from 16% to 34%.
LC25+: Our lower carbon concrete and raw materials option, combined with optimised design based on the specifics of the project. Carbon reductions vary depending on project limitations.
Do Hynds LC products require special specification or installation methods?
All the materials and processes used to manufacture the Hynds LC range conform to the relevant engineering standards, including NZS 3101 and AS/NZS 4058 and where RCRRJ concrete pipe is concerned, can be installed as per AS/NZS 3725. The joint profiles, installation methods and product geometries of Hynds LC products are also the same as Hynds standard range products. This means that there are no special requirements for the specification and installation of Hynds LC products.
