Description
Sewer construction workers install sewer pipes to transport wastewater out of structures and to a body of water or treatment facility. They dig trenches and insert the pipes, making sure they have the correct angle and are connected watertight. Sewer construction workers also construct other elements of sewage infrastructure, such as manholes, and maintain and repair existing systems.
