Issue Date: March 2024


Localised repair and sealing is used to fix minor structural defects in pipes, these may include joint sealing, sleeve or patch repairs, resin injection systems, fill and drain systems, robotic repairs, mechanical sealing and pipe re-rounding when repairing or renovating non-man-entry pits, including sewer, gas and water.

This unit is appropriate for those working in operational roles, at worksites within:

Civil Construction

This unit covers the undertaking of localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems in civil construction. It includes the planning and preparing for operations, surveying the site, undertaking localised repair and sealing and cleaning up when undertaking the rehabilitation of existing services pipeline system.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required

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.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to worksite operations and satisfy all of the requirements of the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge and the range statement of this unit and include evidence of the following:

knowledge of the requirements, procedures and instructions for undertaking localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems

implementation of requirements, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of at least two localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems

working with others to undertake and complete the localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems that meets all of the required outcomes

consistent timely completion of undertaking localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems that safely, effectively and efficiently meets the required outcomes

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit must be assessed in the context of the work environment. Where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment may occur in a simulated environment provided it is realistic and sufficiently rigorous to cover all aspects of workplace performance, including task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

The assessment environment should not disadvantage the participant. For example, language, literacy and numeracy demands of assessment should not be greater than those required on the job.

Customisation of assessment and delivery environment to sensitively accommodate cultural diversity.

Aboriginal people and other people from a non English speaking background may have second language issues.

Assessment of this competency requires typical resources normally used in the work environment. Selection and use of resources for particular worksites may differ due to site circumstances.

Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with disabilities.

Access must be provided to appropriate learning and/or assessment support when required.

Method of assessment

This unit may be assessed in a holistic way with other units of competency. The assessment strategy for this unit must verify required knowledge and skill and practical application using more than one of the following assessment methods:

written and/or oral assessment of the candidate's required knowledge

observed, documented and/or first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's:

implementation of appropriate requirement, procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient achievement of required outcomes

consistently achieving the required outcomes

first hand testimonial evidence of the candidate's:

working with others to undertake and complete the localised repair and sealing of existing pipeline systems

Guidance information for assessment
