Summary
An occupation that uses specialized machines such as diamond saws and core drills to cut and drill concrete structures, handling preparations for demolition or piping and wiring work.
Description
Concrete cutting and drilling workers are specialized technicians who use diamond saws, wire saws, and core drills to perform cutting and drilling operations on concrete structures such as buildings and bridges. Before work, they conduct on-site measurements and marking to determine appropriate cutting lines and drilling positions. Important tasks include drainage management and dust prevention equipment preparation to suppress cutting chips, dust, and noise, as well as machine inspections and maintenance, wearing safety belts and protective gear, and safety management. After work, they clean the cut surfaces, maintain equipment, and coordinate with construction supervisors and other trades.
Future Outlook
With the updating of social infrastructure and an increase in seismic retrofitting projects, the demand for precise cutting and drilling technicians is expected to remain stable. The introduction of automation equipment and robot technology will improve work efficiency, making machine operation skills increasingly important.
