Qualification -
Unit of Competency MEM25003B - Set up marine vessel structures
Description This unit covers setting up marine vessel structures. It includes straightforward levelling and alignment.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to work undertaken individually or as part of team environment. Structures include composite, metal and timber requiring a location/erection process. Structures would typically be those where fairness and load bearing is critical and/or where building/marine regulations may apply. Specifications for the structure would be supplied via engineering drawings or similar and include site location information. Structures would include framework such as hull framing, deck framing, superstructures, jig construction, stairways, walkways, tanks, platforms, cradles etc. completed prior to commencement of installation work. Levelling and alignment undertaken would be of a straightforward nature, which may include plumb bob/lines, spirit levels, water and dumpy levels etc. This unit does not include fixed structures, such as jetties, wharves, moorings etc.Materials include timber and other non-metallic materials.Where erection of metal structures is required, Unit MEM10001C (Erect structures) should be selected.Where construction and assembly of entirely marine timber components is undertaken, Unit MEM25005B (Construct and assemble marine timber components) should be selected.Where lifting or rigging skills are required, appropriate materials handling units should be accessed.Band: AUnit Weight: 4
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
Prerequisites/co-requisites Path 1MEM09002B Interpret technical drawing MEM12007D Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes MEM12023A Perform engineering measurements MEM18001C Use hand tools MEM18002B Use power tools/hand held operations

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

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to set up marine vessel structures in readiness for fixing. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with setting up marine vessel structures, or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.

Method of assessment

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.

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

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

checking construction site location, dimension and levelling

effecting minor alterations, corrections or adjustments

identifying and confirming relative structural components and material species against job specification

selecting and using levelling and measurement tools/methods

taking measurements

applying engineering principles and techniques

using tools and measuring equipment

interpreting specifications, establishing alignment requirements and achieving levelled structures

identifying safe working requirements

making adjustments to achieve correct specifications

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

practices used for checking construction site location, dimensions and levelling procedures

procedures for effecting authorised minor alterations, correction or adjustment

practices used to prepare surfaces, materials/component structures

structural components and material species/types in accordance with job specifications

process for obtaining levelling and measurement reading

levelling and measurement tools/methods

levelling method used to level equipment/component assembly structure

levelling equipment and set-up procedure

engineering principles, techniques, tools and equipment for levelling and measurement

personal protective equipment and safe working practices

safety principles for erecting structures

sequence of assembly of component structure

erecting and fixing methods

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.

Appropriate authority

Appropriate authority may be a supervisor, customer, surveying agency, etc.

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.
