Construction of utility projects
What this code covers
Use this group for the broader activity area of construction of utility projects, including Construction of utility projects for fluids and Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
- Construction of utility projects for fluids
- Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications
- Activities primarily classified as construction of roads and railways
- Activities primarily classified as construction of other civil engineering projects
- Compare with 42.1, 42.9, 42.21 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.

What is NACE 42.2 used for?
Use NACE 42.2 for construction of utility projects when the main activity matches this scope: Use this group for the broader activity area of construction of utility projects, including Construction of utility projects for fluids and Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
What are typical examples for 42.2?
Typical examples include Construction of utility projects for fluids and Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications.
When might 42.2 not be the right code?
No separate exclusion examples are available for this record yet; compare nearby hierarchy records before final selection.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 42.2?
Compare 42.2 with 42.1 Construction of roads and railways, 42.9 Construction of other civil engineering projects, and 42.21 Construction of utility projects for fluids when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this group for the broader activity area of construction of roads and railways, including Construction of roads and motorways, Construction of railways and underground railways, and Construction of bridges and tunnels. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this group for the broader activity area of construction of other civil engineering projects, including Construction of water projects and Construction of other civil engineering projects n.e.c.. Open the child codes when a more specific code is needed.
Use this class for construction of utility projects for fluids when the main activity includes Construction of civil engineering structures for: and Long-distance, underwater and urban pipelines. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications when the main activity includes Construction of civil engineering structures for: and Long-distance and urban communication and power lines. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for civil engineering when the main activity includes 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.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 42.2 maps to the same Rev. 2.1 class 42.2 Construction of utility projects.
Official close match imported from NACE Rev. 2.1.
Low operational impact is expected, but systems should still store the target Rev. 2.1 version explicitly.
Confirm the target version field and update references where Rev. 2.1 is required.
