Explanation:
Ordinarily, anläggningsarbete means construction work. However, that does not appear to be the case here. The examples given here are utcheckning, igångkörning och mätningar. These pertain more to work with a plant or factory than to physical construction work. Remember "en anläggning" can mean a plant or factory. Olyckligt valt ord!

neutral  asptech: Not factory work; "anläggning" here means an electrical or mechanical plant (e.g. HVAC). And you are right, it does not refer to construction (civil) work.
