Concrete Placers - Placers are only required to place the concrete and float the edges and columns for finishing. A typical day would be between 8-10 hours . A crew of eight workers will place between 2,000 – 15,000 sq ft per pour using hand tools such as shovels, rakes, screed board, bull floats, vibra strikes, and a hand held laser level for correct elevations and hand trowels for columns and edges. All placers are encouraged to have their own car for transportation to the job site so that they can be dispatched to additional work sites when they have completed the previous pour enabling the worker to obtain longer hours with overtime pay. Each placer is directed by a crew foreman and most placement methods are with concrete pump or truck chute .
