Physical Duties:

Digging and Trenching
Manual excavation: Pipelayers often use shovels and other hand tools to dig trenches where pipes will be laid. This requires considerable physical effort, especially in different soil conditions.
Working with heavy equipment: They may assist with or guide the operation of excavators, trenchers, and backhoes.
Handling and Installing Pipes
Lifting and carrying pipes: Pipelayers handle large, heavy pipes made from materials like concrete, PVC, or metal. This involves lifting, moving, and positioning them into the trenches.
Aligning pipes: They must align and position pipes correctly to ensure they fit together tightly.
Sealing joints: Pipelayers connect pipes by sealing joints using adhesives, seals, or welding, which requires precise hand movements and physical effort.
Backfilling and Compacting Trenches
Filling trenches: After the pipes are installed, pipelayers are responsible for backfilling the trench, which involves shoveling and spreading dirt or gravel.
Compacting soil: They may also use mechanical compactors to ensure that the backfill is firmly packed to prevent future settling.
Operating Hand and Power Tools
Pipelayers use a variety of tools such as pipe cutters, saws, and levels, as well as welding or soldering equipment. Operating these tools requires both precision and physical strength.
Working in Confined Spaces
Pipelayers often work in narrow trenches or deep holes, requiring them to bend, kneel, or squat for extended periods. This can be physically demanding, especially in tight or awkward positions.
Enduring Various Weather Conditions
Since much of the work is done outdoors, pipelayers are exposed to extreme weather conditions, including rain, heat, cold, and humidity, which adds to the physical strain.
Maintaining Balance and Coordination
Working on uneven terrain, such as in trenches or construction sites, requires a good sense of balance and coordination to avoid accidents.
Climbing and Working at Heights
Pipelayers may need to climb ladders or scaffolding to access areas where pipes are installed or repaired, requiring agility and physical balance.

About METCON INC

Metcon is a Native American-owned business (Lumbee) founded in 1999 in Pembroke, North Carolina. Metcon, which stands for (Metal and Construction), was conceived as a General Contractor specializing in panelized metal studs and truss. As a young company, Metcon worked primarily on housing and related panelized projects throughout North Carolina. The firm quickly transitioned into a full-service commercial general contracting operation still incorporating metal-framed systems whenever possible. The UNC system higher education bonds of the 2000’s was a catalyst to Metcon’s growth as a primary contractor for the UNC-Pembroke campus. Expanding their focus in Education, the company quickly became a leader, in not only University construction, but also K-12 facilities across the Carolinas. Metcon remains headquartered in Pembroke, North Carolina, with offices in Raleigh, Charlotte, Fayetteville, North Carolina and Columbia, & Myrtle Beach South Carolina.
