CONSTRUCTION OF, OR SURFACES FOR, ROADS, SPORTS GROUNDS, OR THE LIKE; MACHINES OR AUXILIARY TOOLS FOR CONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR (forming roads or like surfaces by compacting or grading snow or ice E01H)

Description

E01C encompasses technologies for constructing and maintaining road surfaces, athletic facilities, and similar ground-level structures, together with the machinery and tools required for their installation and repair. This includes materials and methods for creating durable wearing surfaces, drainage systems, and foundation layers, as well as mechanical equipment such as pavers, compactors, and resurfacing machines. The classification extends to sports grounds, parking areas, and other trafficked surfaces where similar construction principles apply. Adjacent subclass E01B covers railway construction, while E01D addresses bridges and similar structures.
