Cette conception très élargie de l'industrie des T.P. n'est pas admise par tous. Les juristes continuent à lier la notion de Travaux publics à la nature des contrats; ils distinguent les marchés publics de travaux et les marchés privés, cette classification étant exclusive quelle que soit la nature des travaux ou des prestations. 1, record 1, French, - industrie%20des%20Travaux%20publics
