Summary
Concrete paving workers are specialists who construct concrete pavements for roads, parking lots, and similar areas. They handle everything from mix management to placement, leveling, finishing, and curing, ensuring durability and precision in the finish.
Description
Concrete paving workers prepare the site (formwork installation, subgrade correction) based on the construction plan, and conduct concrete mix management and slump tests. After placement, they remove voids using compaction machines or vibrators, and finish the surface using screed boards or trowels. After construction, they perform appropriate curing to promote strength development and prevent cracking. Heavy equipment operation, laser-guided leveling techniques, and safety and health management are also important.
Future Outlook
Demand is stable due to measures against aging social infrastructure and urban redevelopment, and the introduction of smart construction using ICT and automation equipment is expected to improve productivity and ensure technology succession.
