Which code does this activity belong in?
Plate Work Manufacturing comprises establishments that cut, punch, bend, shape, and weld purchased metal plate into fabricated products. The distinction from Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing lies in the input material and end product; plate work uses sheet or plate stock, whereas prefabricated building manufacturing produces complete building panels and sections. Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing differs by focusing on structural assemblies such as reinforced concrete bar assemblies and bar joists, rather than general plate work fabrication.
