Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized occupation that smooths the surface of concrete pipes using steel trowels and other tools to ensure quality.
Description
Concrete pipe finishers use tools such as steel trowels and trowel boards to uniformly and smoothly finish the inner and outer surfaces of precast concrete pipes. They mix mortar, remove surface irregularities and air bubbles after placement, and adjust joint seals and unevenness. After finishing, they conduct surface inspections, correct defects such as cracks and holes, and perform appropriate curing management. The work requires high physical strength and endurance, and workers wear dust masks and protective gear to ensure safety and health. Factory-based team work is standard, and knowledge of efficient work procedures and quality control is also important.
Future Outlook
Demand for concrete pipes remains stable due to infrastructure development and renewal projects, and long-term stable demand is expected with the普及 of precast concrete products. Automation technology and adaptation to new materials will advance to improve quality and production efficiency.
