The Civil Construction industry includes large infrastructure construction servicing, road works, mining and energy infrastructure, residential subdivision and bulk earthworks.

Typical activities include road construction and maintenance, bridge and marine construction, foundation work including anchors and piling, railways construction and maintenance, tunnel construction and pipe-laying. 

There are strong workforce and economic crossovers between the:

• Mining and Drilling industry 

The current levels of activity in these industries have intensified skill and labour shortages.
