Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A job that mixes cement, aggregates, and water, pours them into formwork reinforced with rebar, performs vibration compaction and curing, and manufactures Hume pipes (reinforced concrete pipes).
Description
Hume pipe manufacturing workers produce reinforced concrete drainage pipes (Hume pipes) for infrastructure maintenance in factories. First, they mix raw materials such as cement, aggregates, and water according to specifications and pour them into formwork with installed rebar. Next, they use vibrators to compact and remove air voids, and cure for a certain period to ensure strength. They conduct compressive strength tests and dimensional inspections to confirm quality, then load for shipment. Important tasks also include machine maintenance, formwork upkeep, and safety and health management of the work environment.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the renewal of aging sewer and drainage pipes, agricultural waterways, and other social infrastructure needs. However, automation and labor-saving advancements in production processes may require higher skill levels.
