What happens here

As concrete is continuously poured from subsequent mixer trucks, the crew begins the crucial task of bull floating. This process involves using long-handled bull floats to smooth and consolidate the concrete surface, pushing down aggregate and bringing cement paste to the top. The narrator demonstrates the technique of lifting the back of the float when pushing forward and lifting the front when pulling back, minimizing gouges and ensuring a smooth, level finish.

Goal: Smooth and level the wet concrete surface.
