Learning Outcomes
Refer to curriculum document in the learning hub
Details of Learning Activities
Teacher-led face to face lectures of the concepts of reticulation system design and drawing layouts for water supply and stormwater drainage networks
In a computer lab using Computer Aided Drafting software and using appropriate standard symbols and terminology to AS 1100 prepare drawings of a water supply and stormwater drainage system based on industry standards including:
Draw a reticulation system plan with contours for a small water supply from survey data and other supplied information.
Draw water supply pipes and fittings to comply with Water Reticulation Code Standard Drawings.
Calculate distance and change in level and grade from pump supply to storage tank.
Draw a water supply tank and use standard symbols for fittings and details.
Draw a reticulation system plan for a small drainage project from survey data and other supplied information.
Use standard symbols for pits and pipelines and store them in a CAD library.
Draw drainage pits, pit schedule, fittings and details and store them in a CAD library.
Draw a longitudinal section from the reticulation plan and use exaggerated scales.
Add pipe grade, class, type, % fall and level information to the longitudinal section.
