Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to collect spatial data using terrestrial technologies, including total station. The unit covers planning work tasks to identify control marks, as well as equipment set-up and operation. The unit includes validating data to identify errors, and making corrections and adjustments using industry-accepted methods to achieve required accuracy range. The unit supports those who work in support positions in a surveying and spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, town planning, cartography, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

total station

specifications:

job specifications and plans

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

work health and safety

recording and storing spatial data

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working in a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by project requirements.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Prepare for spatial data collection.
  • Project specifications, information and control marks are reviewed, and surveying tasks planned in consultation with appropriate persons.
  • Terrestrial technologies are selected according to project requirements.
  • Site conditions are checked to identify factors that could impact on operation of terrestrial technologies and accuracy of data.
       
Element: Operate terrestrial technologies.
  • Equipment is set up according to manufacturer specifications.
  • Equipment is operated to collect data and attributes according to job specifications.
  • Identified survey components are measured and data is reduced according to job specifications.
  • Measurements are validated and recorded according to job specifications and data collection plan.
       
Element: Finalise spatial data collection.
  • Data is checked and adjustments are made to identify and correct errors, and where required additional measurements are taken.
  • Data is downloaded and project documentation completed according to organisational requirements.
       


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.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

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 collect spatial data using terrestrial technologies for two different projects in consultation with colleagues.

While collecting the above spatial data, the person must:

plan work tasks by checking control marks and ensuring site conditions are appropriate for surveying tasks

use a total station to collect the spatial data and related attributes

measure and calculate basic spatial data based on control marks and set coordinates

communicate clearly with others to clarify and report project information

comply with organisational and legislative requirements for:

identifying hazards and working safely

recording, storing and filing data

comply with manufacturer specifications when using above equipment

use industry-accepted standards and procedures for checking accuracy of spatial data.

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

accuracy ranges that can be achieved using terrestrial technologies

formats and documentation used for recording spatial data collected using terrestrial technologies

mathematical concepts relating to algebra, trigonometry and geometry and their use in calculating basic spatial measurements

methods for calculating spatial data and verifying its accuracy using terrestrial technologies

methods for downloading data collected using terrestrial technologies

methods for setting up, levelling and calibrating equipment.
