Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A specialist who conducts quality tests on concrete to verify that its performance and strength meet design standards.
Description
Concrete testers are specialists who measure and evaluate the physical properties of concrete at construction sites and in laboratories. They perform various tests such as slump tests, air content measurements, and compression strength tests in accordance with JIS standards, handling tasks from sample collection and preparation to data analysis and report creation. They operate and calibrate testing equipment, manage the quality of test results, and support the supply of concrete that meets design strength requirements. They collaborate with on-site construction managers and designers to contribute to the realization of safe and secure structures.
Future Outlook
With the stable maintenance of infrastructure development and construction demand, the importance of concrete quality control is increasing, and the demand for specialized testers is expected to remain steady.
