Summary
Specialized profession that manufactures wave-dissipating blocks, the foundation of coastal structures, consistently from raw material mixing to casting, demolding, curing, and finishing.
Description
Wave-dissipating block makers appropriately mix cement, sand, water, aggregates, etc., place them into dedicated formwork, and form the blocks. After demolding, they cure them in a specified environment to promote hardening. They perform quality inspections for dimensions, strength, etc., before shipment. The work includes operating heavy machinery, assembling formwork, and surface finishing, requiring the ability to operate the production line safely and efficiently as a team.
