NAICS 237120
What is the NAICS code 237120?
The NAICS code 237120 is applied to those industries related to Oil and Gas Pipeline and Related Structures Construction.
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.
Illustrative examples:
- Distribution line, gas and oil, construction
- Oil refinery construction
- Gas main construction
- Petrochemical plant construction
- Gathering line, gas and oil field, construction
- Natural gas pipeline construction
- Pumping station, gas and oil transmission, construction
- Storage tank, natural gas or oil, tank farm or field, construction
- Natural gas processing plant construction
Therefore, all companies engaged in any industrial activity related to this type of business are grouped under category 237120 in the North American Industry Classification System.
This industrial activity of NAICS code is structured as follows:
- 23 - Construction
- 237 - Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction
- 2371 - Utility System Construction
