concreting
Mixing cement slurry
Concreting is the work of laying concrete—mixing, pouring, and finishing the material to create foundations, slabs, driveways, and other structures.
The term covers both the process and the trade: The concreting took three days.
In British and Australian English, concreting is the standard term for what Americans might call concrete work.
