Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures

NACE v2.0 Code: C25.11

About manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures

NACE code 25.11 covers the manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the broader construction and engineering sectors. This industry is responsible for producing a wide range of metal components, from load-bearing frameworks and support structures to architectural metalwork and prefabricated buildings. Its output is essential for the development of infrastructure, commercial and residential properties, and various industrial facilities, making it a key contributor to economic growth and development.

Production process

The manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures typically involves a range of metalworking techniques, including cutting, bending, welding, and assembly. Fabrication processes often start with the cutting of raw metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, or other alloys, into the desired shapes and sizes. These components are then bent, formed, and joined together using welding or other fastening methods to create the final metal structures and parts. Advanced techniques, such as computer-numerical-control (CNC) machining and robotic automation, are increasingly being adopted to improve efficiency and precision in the production process.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures include various types of metal raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and other alloys. These materials are typically sourced from 24.10 Manufacture of basic iron and steel and 24.42 Aluminium production. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as cutting tools, welding machines, and assembly tools, as well as skilled labor to operate these systems and carry out the production processes.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the metal structures and parts of structures industry are a diverse range of metal components and assemblies, including structural frameworks, load-bearing beams, columns, trusses, and prefabricated building modules. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, such as 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, and 43.99 Other specialised construction activities n.e.c. for the construction and development of infrastructure, buildings, and other facilities.
