Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICTCBL329 - Install underground cable for communications applications

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare for underground cable hauling

  1. Access site according to required enterprise procedures
  2. Verify cable installation requirements from plans and recognise constraints
  3. Identify from plans, correct duct to be hauled
  4. Inform appropriate personnel of existing and potential worksite hazards
  5. Obtain information about location of other services from relevant authorities
  6. Select suitable tools, equipment and protective equipment to meet required industry standards
  7. Check for dangerous gases and place guards around open manholes following work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements
  8. Confirm correct duct/conduit to be utilised for hauling at site and access to intermediate manholes/pits along the hauling route
  9. Rod and rope the conduit/duct to be hauled
  10. Set-up cable installation equipment according to manufacturer requirements and enterprise guidelines
  11. Clean debris and obstructions from conduit using appropriate mandrels
  12. Seal cable ends to exclude entrance of foreign matter
Access site according to required enterprise procedures

Haul underground cable

  1. Run hauling feeder through conduit to enable cable hauling
  2. Use rodding techniques to prove that conduit is clear for hauling
  3. Attach cable to hauling feeder according to manufacturer specifications
  4. Employ cable slippers or rollers to ensure no sheath damage when hauling into and out of enclosures
  5. Lubricate cable and haul evenly at correct tension to reduce risk of cable damage
  6. Maintain sufficient cable length allowance for jointing and ensure cable is housed within bending radius tolerance for cable materials in an underground enclosure
  7. Maintain cable and services separations in parallel runs and crossovers according to manufacturer and regulatory requirements
