national industry 237120

Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction

Overview

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of oil and gas lines, mains, refineries, and storage tanks. The work performed may include new work, reconstruction, rehabilitation, and repairs. Specialty trade contractors are included in this industry if they are engaged in activities primarily related to oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction. All structures (including buildings) that are integral parts of oil and gas networks (e.g., storage tanks, pumping stations, and refineries) are included in this industry.

The immediate parent of national industry 237120 is international industry 23712: Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction
