List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Element | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Scope the project | 1.1 Prepare for given work according to relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards, including work health and safety (WHS) processes and procedures 1.2 Determine the main role power and building services perform in a network facility and note their effect on network reliability and performance 1.3 Assess the provisioning process required to identify, plan and implement power and building services for equipment deployment plans |
2. Assess equipment and infrastructure deployments | 2.1 Evaluate available capacity from power and cooling plant to support the effect on floor loading, power and heat load from equipment deployments 2.2 Determine different levels of reliability performance standards applicable to specific equipment deployment needs 2.3 Develop a process to plan or implement a power and building services upgrade compatible to the network equipment requirements 2.4 Assess options available to manage capacity growth in a facility and the effect of potential single points of failure in an end-to-end power and building services system |
3. Develop building works programs | 3.1 Develop short- and long-term works programs for building projects that include minor upgrades to large installations 3.2 Determine triggers that may require a power and building services capacity or reliability upgrade 3.3 Prioritise projects based on customer demand and business needs |
4. Assess provisioning of building services | 4.1 Assess the possible effect on current and future use of a building or space when provisioning power and building services 4.2 Produce cost estimates including constraints for provisioning of a power and building services upgrade |
Evidence of ability to:
assess capacity and suitability of available power and building services for telecommunications building works
develop a process to implement a power and building services upgrade
develop short- and long-term works projects for equipment and infrastructure deployments
produce accurate cost estimates for provisioning.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the process to assess capacity and suitability of available power and building services
outline the following features of a building works project:
correlation between building service systems to network equipment requirements
different levels of reliability performance standards, applicable to specific equipment deployment needs
information required to assess effect on floor loading, power and heat load from equipment deployments
main regulatory standards
role of power and building services, capacity and standards
establish the source of budget cost estimates
define the specific short and long term works programs
identify typical issues and challenges that occur in telecommunications building service systems and how these may be addressed
outline the process for power and building services upgrades.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the Telecommunications – Network Planning field of work and include access to:
building facilities where a telecommunications network project may be conducted
relevant regulatory, organisational procedures
documentation impacting work.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
