Description

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to produce detailed engineering drawings of steel to non-steel connections to Australian Standard (AS) 1100.101 Technical drawing - General principles. Critical dimensions and specifications are predetermined, and drawings or models are developed with or without the use of computer-aided design (CAD) systems.This unit is suitable for those working within a drafting work environment and can be applied across all engineering disciplines.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Notes

Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Determine drawing requirements

1.1 Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
1.2 Determine purpose, scope and information requirements for drawing
1.3 Interpret available information relevant to project and work requirements, and identify and address further information needs
1.4 Identify and prepare equipment required to complete work
1.5 Identify and access organisational files, templates and symbols required for work

2. Identify features of components and connections

2.1 Identify type and features of components to be detailed and determine detailing requirements
2.2 Identify impact of component material on detailing work and determine appropriate standards and drawing symbols
2.3 Identify type and features of connections to be detailed from design information and determine detailing requirements
2.4 Identify any non-standard connections and determine detailing requirements
2.5 Determine method of general dimensioning of the connection, including datum points and geometric shapes from engineer, sketches or specifications
2.6 Determine edge and other clearances for concrete and other non-steel members or components from designer
2.7 Determine if surface finish or other information is required to be detailed
2.8 Identify materials to prevent electrolysis of dissimilar metals

3. Detail steel to non-steel connections

3.1 Identify connection types from design information
3.2 Identify reinforcement locations and avoid clashes with other connections
3.3 Avoid interference with post-tensioning cables and holding down bolts for upper floor connections
3.4 Detail steel to non-steel connections according to design information
3.5 Identify and apply relevant codes, standards and symbols used for installation drawings
3.6 Provide measures to counter electrolytic action from dissimilar materials

4. Complete drawing

4.1 Confirm final drawing includes all required specifications, symbols, dimensions, and components in accordance with SOPs and the design specification
4.2 Present and store drawing in accordance with SOPs
