Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Organise work processes.
   • Client requirements and project specifications are determined in consultation with appropriate persons.
   • Design information is accessed and interpreted to identify spatial data requirements and components to be measured and monitored.
   • Essential surveying information is checked for currency and validity.
   • Survey database, file structures and conventions, and metadata are created according to project specifications.
   • Project management mechanisms are implemented to schedule, measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to agreed timeframes and plans.
   • Risk management and contingency strategies are followed to ensure project complies with legal, statutory and organisational requirements.
   • Agreed communication processes between client and other appropriate persons are implemented and maintained.
2. Standardise mine survey plan requirements.
   • Requirements for lodging plan are identified according to organisational requirements.
   • Mine plan drawing and plotting requirements are researched and summarised to meet project specifications.
   • Contingencies and constraints are managed and problems resolved to ensure plans meet specifications.
3. Produce mine survey plans.
   • Measured spatial data is reduced to project reference system.
   • Mine plans are created according to project specifications and organisational requirements.
   • Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications.
4. Finalise mine survey plans.
   • Mine survey plans are finalised and relevant personnel notified of results according to organisational requirements.
   • Documentation is completed and spatial data archived according to organisational requirements.

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 use a computer and computer-aided design (CAD) software to compile a mine survey plan that meets technical specifications for two projects.

While compiling the above mine survey plans, the person must:

define and document project deliverables, constraints and activities

prepare for work by checking the following essential surveying information for currency and validity:

mine grid coordinate systems

requirements for data processing

communicate clearly with clients and stakeholders to clarify and report project requirements and plot details

comply with statutory, legal and organisational requirements relating to:

completing records and reporting

mine drawings

protocols for saving and formatting drawing files

comply with drawing standards and specifications to create mine plans, views and plots at required scale, which incorporate:

grid convergence

long and cross-section plot requirements

map legends

plot symbols

sheet surround

create metadata, database, file structures and conventions as the basis for design work

exercise precision and accuracy in relation to measurements, tolerances and design

follow project management techniques to schedule, measure, record and report progress of project activities

prepare the CAD environment by setting up the hardware and software systems and drawing defaults, and customising menus

identify and comply with plan lodgement requirements, standard drawing requirements and plotting specifications.
