Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to solve a range of surveying and basic engineering-related problems. It requires the ability to identify, analyse and evaluate data to perform surveying computations. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Prepare to perform advanced traverse computations.
- 1.1 Task objectives are defined.1.2 Pertinent standards are identified, considered and adhered to according to project specifications.1.3 Principal work activities and constraints in relation to advanced traverse computations are defined and documented according to client requirements.1.4 Information on identified risks, contingencies, risk management processes and required resources are included in task objectives.
- 1.5 Requirements of the job and the computations are clarified with relevant personnel according to organisational guidelines.1.6 Work is allocated to appropriate personnel and supervisory processes, checks and measures are implemented to ensure work is completed within time available.1.7 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.1.8 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in surveying computations.
2Arrange for the task to be executed.
- 2.1 Arrangements are made for computations to be performed on angles and bearings.2.2 Requirements for conversions between polar and rectangular modes are communicated to relevant personnel and performed.2.3 Computations performed on the coordinates of a simple closed traverse, and the missing elements and adjusted coordinates of a traverse, are supervised.2.4 Arrangements are made for traverse information to be reduced from field notes.2.5 Traverse misclose computations adjustment process is supervised.2.6 Computation problems involving linear figures of constant width are communicated to relevant personnel and solved.2.7 Organisational documented and undocumented practices are communicated to relevant personnel and adhered to.
3Arrange for the computation of surveying problems involving circular curves.
- 3.1 Computations are performed on all elements of circular curves.3.2 Problems involving circular curve missing elements are communicated to relevant personnel and solved.
4Supervise the completion of the task.
- 4.1 All required documentation is communicated to relevant personnel and completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.4.2 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
