Terrazzo Workers and Finishers
Terrazzo workers and finishers are responsible for installing and
finishing terrazzo flooring systems, which are made up of cemented
materials, fine aggregates, and marble chips, all of which are made from
natural resources extracted from the Earth. Their work involves a
variety of geoscience-related tasks, including:
-
Creating a demand for the extraction of resources, which are located
and sourced by workers in the geosciences.
-
Knowing the properties of cements that are appropriate for different
locations and climates, as well as how to prepare them and how long
they take to set.
-
Using specialized equipment to grind, polish, cut, shape, and seal
the surface of terrazzo to design and protect it. These steps ensure
that natural resources are used efficiently in sustainable
infrastructure.
-
Being involved in repairing and restoring existing terrazzo floors
to reduce the demand for more supplies.
