Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare to monitor engineering structure.
  2. Develop project plan to monitor engineering structure.
  3. Implement monitoring tasks.
  4. Finalise and report monitoring results.

Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Appropriate persons must include at least two of the following:

client

colleague

end user

engineer

manager

registered or qualified surveyor

stakeholder

supplier.


Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also monitor engineering structures for two projects.

While monitoring the above engineering structures, the person must:

analyse surveying specifications, including:

cross-sections and plans

technical descriptions of surveying data and their collection and format requirements

apply industry-accepted standards for performing surveying measurements and computations

communicate clearly with others to clarify and report work information and negotiate task completion

comply with industry-accepted standards for validating accuracy of surveying data and identifying errors and discrepancies

comply with organisational, legal and statutory requirements for:

completing records and documentation

recording, storing and filing data

using, checking and storing surveying equipment

working safely and using personal protective equipment (PPE)

conduct measurements and calculations to meet engineering specifications using two of the following pieces of surveying equipment:

current meter

global navigation satellite system (GNSS)

level

tape

theodolite

total station

develop a project plan to monitor engineering structures, including detail of:

project objectives and deliverables

constraints

risk management and contingency strategies

work activities

technologies and techniques to be used

identify site hazards and control risks

implement project management mechanisms to ensure monitoring activities are completed within required timeframes and comply with specifications

interpret engineering design information and specifications to identify components to be measured and accuracy and precision tolerances to be applied

plan and document data collection methodologies that allow for contingencies

review project outcomes against specifications and objectives
