Construction of the Santa Pia swimming pool. The Screeding Dance,everything is ready for the final coat of concrete

The screeding team have commenced on site. The scene of working men pouring and screeding a concrete layer is a symphony of skill, teamwork, and precision that plays out on construction sites around the world.

The Screeding Dance

Once the concrete is poured, the focus shifts to the screeding phase. Here, one worker stands at each end of a long, straight board, the screed, and together they carefully maneuver it across the wet concrete. Their movements are synchronized, almost balletic, as they use the screed to level the surface. The screed's sawing motion eliminates high spots and fills in low areas, creating a uniform, smooth plane.
