Road workers build and maintain roads and concourses, carry out improvements such as road widening, and repair potholes and cracks in road surfaces. Work takes place in gangs on different stages of the project. Each person in the gang may have specialised tasks. They may work on outdoor spaces of all types including carparks, minor roads, major roads and motorways. Gangs range in size from two people, if they are working on street repairs, to twelve people for larger jobs. Road workers clear and dig out areas of road to be surfaced using a range of equipment, such as mechanical diggers and hand tools like picks, rakes, spades and shovels. When the surface is clear, they mix surfacing materials such as concrete or tarmac and spread it in layers. When the layers have set, they flatten the new surface using mechanical or hand rollers.
