SBI 42—Civil engineering
Division · Standaard Bedrijfsindeling (2025)
Where 42 sits
- F Construction
- 42 Civil engineering
Contains 3 narrower codes
What 42 includes
- This division encompasses the general construction industry for civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, and road construction. This includes new construction, repair, expansion, and renovation, as well as the on-site installation of prefabricated objects and temporary structures.
- Included is the construction of heavy structures (e.g., highways, power plants, bridges, tunnels, railway lines, airports, ports and other water projects), irrigation systems, sewage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and power lines, and outdoor sports facilities. This work may be carried out on one's own initiative, for a fixed fee, or on a contract basis. Part of the work, and sometimes even the entire practical execution, may be outsourced.
