NACE-BEL 42—Civil engineering
Division · Nomenclature of Economic Activities (Belgium) (2025)
Where 42 sits
- F Construction
- 42 Civil engineering
Contains 3 narrower codes
What 42 includes
- This division encompasses the general construction of civil engineering works. It includes new construction, repairs, extensions and renovations, the on-site assembly of prefabricated structures, and temporary structures.
- It also includes the construction of major infrastructure projects (e.g., highways, roads, power plants, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, ports and other maritime and river projects, irrigation systems, sanitation systems, industrial facilities, oil pipelines and power lines, and outdoor sports facilities). This work may be carried out for the company's own account or for third parties. Portions of the work, or sometimes all of the practical work, may be subcontracted.
