Construction of bridges and tunnels

NACE v2.1 Code: F42.13

About construction of bridges and tunnels

NACE code 42.13 covers the construction of bridges and tunnels, a critical component of modern transportation infrastructure. This industry plays a vital role in connecting communities, facilitating the movement of people and goods, and supporting the broader economic development of a region. The construction of bridges and tunnels requires specialized engineering expertise and advanced construction techniques, making it an important sector within the broader construction industry.

Production process

The construction of bridges and tunnels typically involves a multi-step process. This includes site preparation, foundation work, the erection of the superstructure, and the installation of specialized components such as lighting, ventilation, and safety systems. Advanced construction methods, such as the use of pre-fabricated elements, specialized equipment, and innovative materials, help to ensure the structural integrity and longevity of these critical infrastructure projects.

Production inputs

The construction of bridges and tunnels requires a range of inputs, including raw materials such as steel, concrete, and specialized construction materials. Additionally, this industry relies on heavy machinery, such as cranes, excavators, and tunneling equipment, as well as a skilled workforce of engineers, construction workers, and project managers. The availability of these resources, as well as access to transportation networks and logistical support, are crucial for the successful completion of bridge and tunnel construction projects.

Production outputs

The primary output of the bridge and tunnel construction industry is the completed infrastructure, which serves to facilitate the movement of people and goods. The bridges and tunnels constructed under NACE code 42.13 are then utilized by a wide range of other industries, including 49.10 Passenger rail transport, interurban, 49.20 Freight rail transport, 49.41 Freight transport by road, and 52.21 Service activities incidental to land transportation, among others. The successful completion of these projects can have a significant impact on the overall efficiency and connectivity of a region's transportation network.
