Read t h i s t e x t a n d c o m p l e t e c h a r t s A a n d B. The construction industry in the UK consists of four different sectors. The residential sector deals with houses and apartments. The industrial sector deals with big projects like factories and power plants. The infrastructure sector is for

projects like roads, bridges and tunnels. The commercial sector is for things like schools, hospitals and office blocks. The client pays for the project and hires general contractors to deal with subcontractors, equipment and materials.

oncrete mixers mix and pour concrete. For small quantities of concrete, hand mixers are ideal. The portable mixer has wheels and uses electricity. It has a small drum which rotates. Concrete transport trucks - or in-transit mixers - transport large quantities of concrete to the site. The drum rotates during transport. The chute man pours the concrete down the chute, or uses I a pump to get the concrete to difficult locations. Sometimes a crane lifts a hopper full of concrete to the job site.
