What happens here
Following the rough placement, workers utilize specialized concrete rakes or shovels to further spread and distribute the concrete evenly within the installed formwork around the pool. This crucial step aims to eliminate any large voids or excessive mounds, ensuring that the concrete is distributed uniformly throughout the designated area. Proper spreading is essential for preparing the concrete for the subsequent screeding process, which will establish a flat and level surface.
Goal: Evenly distribute concrete within the formwork around the pool perimeter.
