Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Assess concreting site and nature of work.
  • Site plans are reviewed and general size and nature of required concreting work are determined.
  • Project specifications for concreting work are assessed and requirements for each area or feature are categorised according to differences in required concrete material properties.
  • Delivery method for concrete supply at different locations and heights is determined and implications for required concrete material properties are assessed.
       


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

This unit of competency could be assessed by performing a range of tasks in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures.

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

A person should demonstrate the ability to:

assess concrete material requirements for three different types of concreting projects, including a multi-story car park; for each project, specify the types and volumes of concrete required to ensure job specifications and quality requirements are met

prepare concrete delivery schedules

prepare specifications for concrete supply according to workplace requirements.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment of this unit:

must be in the context of the work environment

may be conducted in an off-site context, 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

must meet relevant compliance requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

an induction procedure

realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements

tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices

support materials appropriate to activity

workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies

safety data sheets (SDS).

Method of assessment

Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:

direct observation of tasks in real or simulated work conditions

questioning to confirm the ability to consistently identify and correctly interpret the essential underpinning knowledge required for practical application

review of relevant authenticated documentation from third parties, such as existing supervisors, team leaders or specialist training staff.

Guidance information for assessment

This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support.

Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed.

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

learning skills to develop and build understanding of concrete materials and supply volumes required for different types of concreting work

numeracy skills to calculate areas and volumes of concreting projects

oral communication skills to consult with team members and other relevant personnel regarding specifications for concreting work

reading skills to interpret plans, specifications and concrete manufacturer information

writing skills to prepare specifications for concrete supply

Required knowledge

concrete additives and the effect on concrete curing, finishing and performance

external factors affecting concrete curing, finishing and performance, and strategies for managing them, including:

delivery temperature

use of additives

regulations and standards relating to concrete supply:

AS 1379 Specification and supply of concrete

AS 2758 Aggregate and rock for engineering purposes

AS 3582 Supplementary cementitious materials for use with Portland cement

AS 3600 Concrete structures

AS 3972 Portland and blended cements

slump-test measurements required at delivery for different concrete mixes

types, properties and limitations of different types of concrete

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Concrete material must include:

normal class with strength grades in the range N20 to N50

special class with strength grades in the range S20 to S100.

Variable components and additives may include:

level of air entrainment

maximum size of aggregate

methods to ensure coolness of concrete, such as addition of liquid nitrogen

proportion of cement.

Concrete specifications must include:

required temperature of concrete

slump-test measurement, which must be:

fit for purpose:

ramp or slope

slab

consistent with:

formwork

placement method

reinforcements.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
