UNSPSC 72101512: Hoist construction service

Surface to mineface lift construction service used for underground mining

UNSPSC 72101512 Hoist construction service is a Commodity code encompassing structural installation and remediation work at subsurface, foundation, and utility sites where excavation, stabilization, concrete work, and material placement form the primary scope. State and local governments procure hoist construction services principally as part of broader civil infrastructure projects—abandoned mine stabilization, water and wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater detention and drainage systems, landfill cell construction, bridge replacement, and park/recreational facility improvements. The work typically involves mobilization, material handling, foundation prep, structural placement, and site restoration conducted by general contractors or specialty construction firms. Issuing bodies span state departments of natural resources and transportation, county and city engineering departments, water and sewerage authorities, transit districts, and municipal utilities across a wide geographic footprint, with recent activity concentrated in the Southeast (Illinois, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Texas) and Mountain West (Colorado, Oregon).
