Course Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required for design and set out of roads and associated engineering structures. It requires the ability to undertake all aspects of survey design from understanding client and registered surveyor requirements and the special characteristics of a given site, to applying relevant legal and statutory requirements to the design. The selection of appropriate equipment, procedures and personnel is essential to performing the task safely and efficiently. Functions will entail complying with and developing or amending organisational guidelines.

special equipment or resource requirements are
identified according to organisational guidelines.
1.2 Equipment is checked to be in good working order.
1.3 Manufacturer specifications with regard to the use of equipment are complied with.
1.4 Skills and knowledge are updated to reflect changes
in design and set out survey, and relevant team
members are informed of updates.

Element:

2. Develop the project plan.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Objectives, principal work activities and constraints
are defined and documented according to written
survey specifications and client requirements.
2.2 Objectives and principal work activities are
communicated to relevant personnel.
2.3 Details of instruments and basic techniques to be
used are considered and evaluated.
2.4 Data is collected according to the nature of the
project and organisational guidelines.

Element:

3. Conduct the design.

Performance Criteria:

Overview of Assessment

Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course.


Assessment Tasks

Assessment of this unit will involve completion of the simulated workplace project and the Evaluation of portfolio, using a checklist, of the performance of elements of competence as designated for this unit to the required standard including collection methods and techniques related to the project objectives.

Observation, using a skills checklist, of performance of elements of competence as designated for this unit to the required standard during practical fieldwork exercises within a simulated workplace project.

Assessment will require demonstration of:

• Consistence performance of each element of the unit across a representative range of applications, autonomously and to requirements
• Performance criteria for each element of competence
• Underpinning knowledge and skills specified.
