Form and integrate fibre-reinforced structures
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to component construction carried out for mould installation, and application and forming operations conducted within a mould or over a former assembly. Typical applications may include hand and mechanical lay-up practices, post curing practices, core materials for stiffening application, sheathing applications using resins, adhesives, sealants and fillers, and vacuum bagging techniques where applicable.
Product/components constructed may include hull, deck, superstructures, bulkhead and partitions, transverse and longitudinal framing, engine beds and tanks etc. Materials may include a variety of glass reinforcements and other fibres, types of laminating resins, other types of stiffening materials such as foams, core mat etc.
Tools and equipment used for laminating work may include brushes and rollers, metal roller, gel coat and resin depositors and vacuum bagging equipment. A variety of hand and power tools and workshop machinery can be used for component construction and installation practices.
Where mark off/out skills are required, then Unit MEM12007D (Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes) should also be selected.
For straightforward application of fibre-reinforced materials where no forming or integrating is required, Unit MEM25001B (Apply fibre-reinforced materials) should be regarded as sufficient.
Band: A
Unit Weight: 4
This unit covers applying, forming and integrating fibre-reinforced components. It covers the use of manual and mechanical methods using a variety of glass reinforcements and other fibres. Typical applications include marine vessel and aircraft construction.
