General construction services of long-distance pipelines, communication and power lines (cables)

CPC v2.1 Code: 5424

About general construction services of long-distance pipelines, communication and power lines (cables)

cpc code 5424 covers the general construction services of long-distance pipelines, communication and power lines (cables). This industry plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure that supports the broader economy. By enabling the efficient transportation of resources, energy, and information across vast distances, the services provided under this code contribute to the connectivity and productivity of various sectors, from manufacturing and agriculture to telecommunications and energy distribution.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve the installation, repair, and maintenance of long-distance pipelines, communication lines, and power transmission cables. This typically includes activities such as surveying and mapping the route, excavating and preparing the ground, laying the pipes or cables, and ensuring proper connections and sealing. Specialized equipment, such as trenching machines, pipe-laying barges, and cable-laying vessels, are often employed to facilitate these complex construction processes.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the services covered under cpc code 5424 include raw materials such as steel, concrete, and specialized piping or cabling, as well as heavy machinery and equipment like excavators, cranes, and welding tools. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of construction workers, engineers, and technicians to carry out the various tasks involved in the construction and maintenance of these critical infrastructure projects.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry described by cpc code 5424 are the completed long-distance pipelines, communication lines, and power transmission cables. These outputs are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 2210 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, 3520 Manufacture of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, and 6110 Wired telecommunications activities, among others. The efficient and reliable transportation of resources, energy, and information facilitated by these infrastructure services is essential for the overall functioning and growth of the economy.
