Description

This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to specify and monitor the installation of monolithic or castable refractories. It applies to castable, mouldable and gunned (shotcrete, gunite) refractories.This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to confirm that the design aligns to refractory requirements; design and document the installation method, materials, equipment and other specifications; and monitor the installation to ensure it meets specifications. This unit of competency applies to senior technicians or those in similar roles who are required to analyse and synthesise advanced theoretical and technical knowledge and apply independent judgement to high-level technical issues and complex problems. The individual may work in liaison with other refractory specialists or they may be the sole refractory specialist for this job or in their organisation.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Notes
