Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to a structural steel detailer who has to detail ancillary structural steelwork including steelwork used in stairways, ladders, landings, platforms for personnel and machinery, and other ancillary steel structures such as cages, lift guide rails and crane rails. The unit can also apply to the detailing of stand alone steel constructions that are not part of or attached to plant or buildings, and which do not require additional specialist knowledge. Examples include:
steel tankage rolled plates
chimney flumes
exhaust pipe flumes
pipe supports
conveyor structures.
The unit assumes that knowledge of basic technical drawing conventions and procedures such as view, dimensioning, drawing layout, and so on is already held.
Work is conducted according to defined procedures.
The detailing covered by this unit may be done manually or by using CAD and/or proprietary steel detailing software.
Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.
This unit requires the application of skills associated with planning and organising to complete structural steel detail drawings. Communication and numeracy skills are used to refer to patterns and specifications and complete and label sketches. Self management skills are used to ensure conformance of own work to quality standards.
This unit covers the skills and knowledge required to detail steelwork ancillary to, or separate from, the main structural elements and their connections in a steel framed building or industrial construction.
