Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Technical Services market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Water And Sewage Pipelines Construction Services.

However, a part of this investment is also passed to buyers in the form of high prices being charged for value added services.

Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of Water And Sewage Pipelines Construction Services.
