CPC v2.1 Code: 5324
About long-distance pipelines, communication and power lines (cables)
cpc code 5324 covers the industry responsible for the construction and maintenance of long-distance pipelines, communication lines, and power transmission cables. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, enabling the efficient transportation of resources, information, and energy across vast distances. By connecting remote production sites to population centers and industrial hubs, this industry facilitates trade, commerce, and the distribution of essential goods and services.
Production process
The production techniques used in this industry involve the installation and maintenance of extensive networks of pipelines, communication lines, and power transmission cables. This typically includes the excavation of trenches, the laying of pipes or cables, and the construction of supporting infrastructure such as pumping stations, repeater stations, and substations. Advanced engineering and construction methods are employed to ensure the structural integrity and reliability of these critical systems.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for this industry include raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and specialized plastics for the manufacture of pipes, cables, and related components. Highly specialized machinery and equipment, including excavators, pipe-laying machines, and cable-pulling equipment, are also essential. Additionally, this industry relies on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and construction workers to design, build, and maintain the complex networks.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of this industry are the long-distance pipelines, communication lines, and power transmission cables that enable the transportation of resources, information, and energy. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 2111 Oil and Gas Extraction, 2211 Electric Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution, and 5112 Software Publishers, among others. The efficient and reliable operation of these critical infrastructure systems is essential for the smooth functioning of the broader economy.
