Summary
Civil engineering worker who constructs, maintains, and repairs subsurface drains that carry drainage and rainwater underground.
Description
Subsurface Drainage Construction Workers (Pipe Construction) handle the installation, maintenance, and repair of subsurface drains (underground waterways) that carry drainage and rainwater. They perform a series of tasks including on-site excavation, pipe assembly and joining, leveling surveys to confirm gradients, pipeline inspections, backfilling, and pavement restoration. Safety and health management as well as measures for neighboring areas are also important. They carry out work accurately and efficiently in accordance with the construction plan while responding to rainy weather and changes in geological conditions.
