Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct an engineering survey based on specifications and information in construction or engineering designs. The unit covers using surveying equipment to measure, record and reduce surveying data. It requires the ability to validate the accuracy of data, and identify discrepancies between specifications and actual activities. The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying team.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:

as specified in the performance evidence, including PPE

specifications:

survey specifications, including relevant construction or engineering plans and drawings

organisational policies, procedures and documentation relating to work health and safety

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.

  • Compliance with legal and statutory standards is planned according to project requirements.
       
Element: Carry out engineering surveying tasks.
  • Surveying equipment is selected, calibrated and checked to ensure correct operation and functionality, and problems are reported or resolved according to manufacturer specifications.
  • Identified survey components are measured according to project requirements and specifications.
  • Measured surveying data is reduced according to project requirements and specifications.
  • Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications and organisational requirements.
  • Problems are identified and resolved, and contingencies managed according to organisational requirements.
       
Element: Finalise and report engineering survey results.
  • Survey is finalised and checked for compliance with project and organisational requirements.
  • Appropriate persons are notified of survey results according to organisational requirements.
  • Survey documentation is completed and data archived according to project and organisational requirements.

echo sounder

global navigation satellite system (GNSS)

level

tape

total station

communicate clearly with others to clarify and report work information

comply with organisational and legal requirements for:

applying industry-accepted standards to measurements and computations

completing records and documentation

recording, storing and filing data

using, checking and storing surveying equipment

working safely and using personal protective equipment (PPE)

interpret design information to identify components to be measured

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

schedule work tasks to meet survey timeframes.

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

accuracy and precision requirements for surveying data

data reduction techniques

industry-accepted methods for validating data to identify errors and discrepancies

methods for calibrating surveying equipment

methods for identifying and reporting non-conformities in collected surveying data

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

health and safety relating to survey activities and work on construction sites
