Where 42 sits
- F Construction
- 42 Civil Engineering
Contains 3 narrower codes
What 42 includes
- This division includes general construction for civil engineering objects. It includes new work, repair, additions and alterations, the erection of prefabricated objects on site and also those of a temporary nature.
- Further included is the construction of heavy constructions (for example, motorways, roads, power plants, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, outdoor sports facilities). This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis. Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out.
