Summary
Civil engineering worker who performs excavation, pipe installation, joining, and backfilling to lay concrete pipelines.
Description
Concrete pipe laying workers are specialized workers who install concrete pipes used for sewers, rainwater drainage channels, etc. First, they conduct surveys and trench excavations at the installation site, and while adjusting the pipe gradient and position based on piping drawings, they install the pipes and seal the joints with mortar or rubber sheets, etc. Afterward, they backfill with soil or crushed stone and perform appropriate compaction to ensure pipeline stability. The work requires heavy equipment operation such as backhoes and precise manual labor, and safety management and consideration for the surrounding environment are also important.
