Construction of water projects

NACE v2.1 Code: F42.91

About construction of water projects

NACE code 42.91, 'Construction of water projects', encompasses a vital industry responsible for the development and maintenance of critical water infrastructure. This industry plays a crucial role in ensuring the reliable supply of water resources, supporting various economic activities and the well-being of communities across the globe. From the construction of dams and reservoirs to the installation of water treatment facilities, the work carried out under this NACE code is essential for the sustainable management of water resources.

Production process

The construction of water projects typically involves a multi-stage process. It begins with extensive planning and feasibility studies to determine the most suitable locations and design specifications. This is followed by the excavation and earthmoving work required for the construction of dams, canals, and other water storage facilities. Specialized equipment, such as heavy machinery and specialized tools, is utilized to ensure the precise and efficient execution of these projects. The installation of water treatment systems, pumping stations, and distribution networks are also integral parts of the construction process, ensuring the delivery of clean and accessible water to end-users.

Production inputs

The construction of water projects requires a diverse range of inputs, including raw materials such as concrete, steel, and various construction aggregates. Specialized equipment, such as excavators, cranes, and pumps, are essential for the execution of these projects. Additionally, skilled labor, including civil engineers, construction workers, and project managers, is crucial for the successful completion of water infrastructure projects.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 'Construction of water projects' industry is the development and maintenance of water infrastructure, including dams, reservoirs, canals, and water treatment facilities. These outputs serve as critical inputs for other NACE codes, such as 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, 37.00 Sewerage, and 38.21 Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste, which rely on the availability of clean and accessible water resources to carry out their respective economic activities.
