Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Erosion control civil workers are on-site workers who install sabo dams and perform shotcrete applications and other construction to prevent slope collapses in mountainous areas and rivers.
Description
Erosion control civil workers are specialized on-site construction workers mainly involved in civil engineering projects to prevent sediment disasters in mountainous areas and around rivers. On site, they carry out a wide range of construction tasks such as sabo dams, slope protection works, drainage channel maintenance, shotcrete, catch basin installation, and more. They also handle surveying, heavy equipment operation, material transportation, safety management, and other tasks. They are required to execute construction plans appropriately according to geological and meteorological conditions. Since much of the work is in hazardous locations, cautious operations and team coordination are essential.
Future Outlook
Demand is expected to remain stable due to increasing sediment disaster risks in mountainous areas and aging infrastructure. Labor shortages are a challenge, and the importance of safety and environmental response technologies is increasing.
