Construction Laborer – Underground Utility Rehab

** Rebuilding manhole benches, inverts, and flow channels: Workers travel to the manhole, remove the cover with a manhole hook, and set up a tripod and ladder for safe entry. Inside the manhole, they remove deteriorated concrete, brick, and debris using hammers, chisels, scrapers, pry bars, and shovels, then clean the surfaces with a high-pressure water hose or pressure washer. Workers mix cement mortar in buckets and apply it with trowels and floats to rebuild benches, inverts, and flow channels. Bricks or concrete repair materials are installed as needed, followed by inspection and site restoration. Tools/Equipment: Manhole hooks, tripod, ladder, hammers, chisels, scrapers, pry bars, shovels, buckets, mixing tools, trowels, floats, pressure washer/high-pressure hose, gas monitor, and PPE. Materials: Cement mortar, water, bricks (as needed), concrete repair materials, and grout (as needed). 2.
