Which code does this activity belong in?
The code covers establishments that pour, finish, and place concrete for foundations and structural elements, including grout and shotcrete work on new construction, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs. Establishments that install precast concrete or structural steel elements are classified in Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors rather than here, since that code handles prefabricated components rather than site-cast concrete work. The distinction is between on-site concrete pouring and finishing versus the installation of preformed structural products.
