COMPACTING, FINISHING CONCRETE

For Concrete Vibrator,

Cr = 3.75 cu.m. to 4 cu.m.
LOn = 3.875 cu.m./m-hr (Average value)
LPn = 1/LOn
= 0.258 m-hr/cu.m.

For Hand Tools,

Cr = 0.35 cu.m. to 0.5 cu.m.
LOn = 0.425 cu.m./m-hr (Average value)
LPn = 1/LOn
= 2.353 m-hr/cu.m.

Where
Cr = compaction rate change
 Basic Pay = Rw x Minimum Wage Rate
