Specialised construction activities in civil engineering

NACE code 43.50 covers a wide range of specialised construction activities in the civil engineering sector. This industry plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, tunnels, and water supply systems. The work carried out by companies operating under this NACE code is essential for supporting economic growth, improving transportation networks, and ensuring the provision of basic utilities to communities.

The main production techniques used in this industry involve a combination of heavy machinery, skilled labor, and specialised construction methods. Projects may include earthmoving, piling, and foundation work, as well as the construction of various concrete and steel structures. Specialised equipment, such as cranes, excavators, and concrete pumps, are commonly used to facilitate the efficient completion of these complex civil engineering projects.

The key inputs required for specialised construction activities in civil engineering include raw materials such as concrete, steel, and aggregates. Additionally, this industry relies on a range of heavy machinery, including excavators, bulldozers, and concrete mixers. Skilled workers, such as civil engineers, project managers, and construction workers, are also essential inputs for the successful delivery of these infrastructure projects.

The primary outputs of this industry are the completed civil engineering structures, such as 42.11 Constructions of roads and motorways, 42.12 Construction of railways and underground railways, and 42.13 Construction of bridges and tunnels. These outputs are then consumed by various other NACE codes, including 49.10 Passenger rail transport, interurban, 49.20 Freight rail transport, and 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply.
