Going to stop us from tracking dirt and stone into the shop! 
What happens here
As the concrete is discharged, workers actively engage in spreading and leveling the fresh concrete within the formwork. They utilize tools such as concrete rakes or hoes to pull and push the wet concrete, distributing it evenly. This is followed by using screeds or straightedges to bring the concrete surface to the correct elevation and flatness, often in coordination with a bull float for initial smoothing, though not explicitly detailed or shown in this brief clip.
Goal: Achieve a uniform and level concrete surface
