Task D-15 Places and finishes concrete
Task Descriptor
Proper mixing of concrete is very important to ensure the desired strength and consistency. Concrete needs to be transported for installation using methods such as concrete pumps, line pumps and cranes. Installation of the concrete includes placing, vibrating to eliminate voids, and striking off (screeding). It is then finished to achieve the final grade and appearance. Concrete cures by holding moisture; it is important to keep concrete hydrated during this curing process to avoid shrinkage and cracking.
