Summary
Specialized profession that installs air conditioning and ventilation ducts on site, including assembly, sealing, and airtightness testing.
Description
Duct installation workers are specialists who install and construct ducts used in air conditioning and ventilation systems for buildings and factories on site. They read construction drawings to determine duct installation positions suited to the site structure, secure them with hanger bolts or hanger fittings, and seal joints to ensure airtightness. They handle diverse tasks such as cutting and processing steel sheets, welding, applying sealants, airtightness testing, adjustments, and trial operations. The work involves high-altitude operations and handling heavy objects. They collaborate with construction managers and workers from other trades, managing quality and progress while strictly adhering to safety and health standards.
