PAS2080

About PAS2080

It is the world’s first specification – in effect, a standard – for whole-life carbon management in infrastructure.

It focuses on how to reduce carbon emissions from infrastructure, both when it is built and when it is used.

This whole-life approach – looking beyond the construction phase – is extremely important, because a significant amount of emissions is generated through the use of infrastructure.

PAS2080 was developed by the British Standards Institution (BSI), which worked with key stakeholders from industry and the government. The specification sets out a consistent approach to cutting emissions.

Skanska UK and PAS2080

Skanska was the first UK contractor to successfully achieve PAS2080 certification.

Skanska has been reviewing and improving its processes across the preconstruction and project delivery phases of projects, particularly focusing on estimating, design and carbon measurement.

Our River Humber tunnelling project was also as a case study in managing the carbon process on a project, helping us achieve PAS2080 certification. For example, we reduced carbon emissions by 11 per cent by changing the design of the concrete platforms used by the tunnelling machines.
