Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Field worker who continuously performs trench excavation for sewer pipelines, pipe assembly and joint construction, backfilling, and related tasks.
Description
Sewerage pipe laying workers excavate trenches (grooves) in roads and ground, and handle field work to assemble sewer pipes at precise gradients. They perform excavation through on-site surveying and heavy equipment operation, apply waterproofing treatment to pipe joint sections, and then conduct backfilling. During construction, they pay attention to changes in weather and geology, contact with existing infrastructure, while engaging in safety and quality management. Team coordination is essential, and they conduct regular inspections and tests to ensure drainage performance after completion.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the need to replace aging sewer pipes. On the other hand, skill enhancement is required due to advances in labor-saving construction methods and robotization.
