Summary
Specialized worker who lays turf on slopes and embankments to prevent soil erosion and improve landscape greening.
Description
Slope protection workers (turf laying construction) are specialists who lay turf on embankments such as roadsides, river levees, and slopes from land development to prevent soil erosion and preserve landscapes. They handle a series of tasks on-site, including ground leveling, soil improvement, installation of drainage facilities, laying of seedling turf or rolled turf, watering management, and curing. Work is often outdoors on sloped terrain, requiring physical strength and precise technical skills. Since it is team-based work, communication and collaboration are also important.
