CPC v2.1 Code: 41252

About sheet piling of iron or steel and welded angles, shapes and sections of iron or steel

cpc code 41252 covers the production of sheet piling and welded angles, shapes, and sections made from iron or steel. These products are essential components in the construction industry, used for a variety of applications such as retaining walls, foundations, and marine structures. The demand for these products is closely tied to the overall health of the construction sector, making this industry an important contributor to the broader economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve the rolling, welding, and fabrication of iron or steel materials. Sheet piling is typically produced by rolling steel into long, thin sheets, which are then interlocked to form a continuous barrier. Welded angles, shapes, and sections are created by cutting and welding steel into the desired configurations, often using automated processes to ensure precision and consistency.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for this industry include raw steel, welding consumables, and specialized machinery such as rolling mills and welding equipment. Access to high-quality steel is crucial, as the strength and durability of the final products are heavily dependent on the quality of the raw materials. Additionally, skilled labor is necessary to operate the production equipment and ensure the proper fabrication of these critical construction components.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are sheet piling and welded angles, shapes, and sections of iron or steel. These products are widely used in the construction of 41111 Residential building construction, 41112 Non-residential building construction, and 41210 Heavy and civil engineering construction, as well as in the 48310 Water transportation, 48320 Scenic and sightseeing transportation, and 48390 Other transportation support activities industries.
