Capturing accurate carbon data on site can now happen alongside routine operations. Re-flow’s upcoming PAS 2080 module records carbon-critical information at source, avoiding the need for backdated data collation.
The software provider, specialised in infrastructure workflows, announced this addition to its field management system to help construction and highways teams meet carbon reporting requirements. Their module inserts carbon data capture seamlessly into existing daily tasks, linking it directly to jobs and contracts.
PAS 2080 compliance working within an ERP
Re-flow is designed to complement enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems rather than replace them. It addresses detailed, sector-specific workflows that general ERP software does not handle well. This new module extends that approach to carbon management for UK infrastructure projects.
Recent updates from Re-flow include tools for smart traffic light control, plot features for landscaping, and tailored form builders. These improvements all target specific UK highways and civil engineering needs.
Ashley Wing, Re-flow’s chief marketing officer, said, “As PAS 2080 becomes central to major contracts, our customers need clarity and confidence in their carbon data. Re-flow’s new PAS 2080 module makes that possible by placing carbon data capture into the day-to-day steps of work and turning everyday operational activity into meaningful insights.”
Eight minutes, two cones: carbon capture without slowing work
Integrating carbon data collection into busy site routines is challenging. Re-flow achieves this by allowing teams to use workflows already familiar to them. The software adapts to established ways of working instead of forcing generic processes.
Wing adds, “Teams get visibility of their carbon information without adding any complexity to the way they work. This is one of the many ways we continue to develop our software to help our clients stay ahead of regulatory and industry changes.”
How it works: carbon data from plant to waste in one place
The PAS 2080 module captures details of materials used, plant operation, transport, fuel consumption, waste production, and supplier inputs as tasks progress. Data is recorded on site and uploaded to the cloud in real time.
Users access an office dashboard that compiles this data by contract or project. The interface provides simple filtering and ready-to-use reports. This makes it easier for contractors and authorities to measure carbon baselines, track reductions, and provide evidence during audits or client checks.
Centralising data avoids manual spreadsheet chasing or retroactive data entry, saving time and reducing errors. The system aligns with PAS 2080 standards for carbon management in infrastructure and construction.
Where it fits: supporting UK highways and infrastructure projects
UK highways contractors and local authorities face tighter carbon reduction targets and increased demand for transparency from clients and regulators. The Traffic Management Act and sector schemes make on-site carbon data collection essential for compliance and bid competitiveness.
Re-flow’s solution provides a scalable method to integrate carbon management without increasing operational burdens or compromising safety. It fits into workflows for A-roads, motorways, and civils schemes across the UK, including works on carriageways, verges, and central reservations.
By embedding carbon recording in everyday site activities, contractors can turn compliance into a routine part of delivery. This improves confidence that reported carbon figures accurately reflect on-site operations.
What it changes: clear data, less admin
Re-flow’s module reduces the time teams spend chasing carbon data after the event. Instead, data capture and reporting become part of the job. This cuts administrative overhead, lowers the risk of errors, and helps contractors demonstrate environmental responsibility clearly and consistently.
The software supports PAS 2080 compliance while respecting busy site conditions and safety considerations. It offers a practical step forward for UK infrastructure firms adapting to new regulatory demands.
