Slope Protection Worker (Concrete Lining Work)
ほうめんほごさぎょういん（コンクリートはりこうじ）
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized worker at civil engineering construction sites who performs protective construction using concrete to prevent collapses of slopes (slope faces).
Description
Slope protection workers (concrete lining work) are specialized workers who stabilize soil slopes such as road cuts or riverbank revetments by applying concrete. They handle the entire construction process from installing formwork and anchors, to concrete placement, compaction, and curing. They skillfully operate aerial work platforms and shotcrete machines, and utilize safety management techniques to perform accurate and efficient work on steep slopes.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the need for repairing deteriorated slopes and slope faces, and strengthened measures to prevent natural disasters. In the future, the introduction of new technologies such as environmentally friendly materials, drone inspections, and robotic construction is highly likely.
