Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to detail steelwork ancillary to, or separate from, the main structural elements, along with their connections in a steel framed building or industrial construction.This unit applies to a structural steel detailer who has to detail ancillary structural steelwork including steelwork used in stairways, ladders, landings, platforms for personnel and machinery, and other ancillary steel structures. It may also apply to the detailing of stand-alone steel constructions that are not part of, or attached to, plant or buildings, and which do not require additional specialist knowledge.Work is completed in accordance with the National Construction Code and AS 1657 Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders - Design, construction and installation.Design information in this unit is the information provided to the detailer and fabricator by the architects and consulting engineers for a project. For some projects, the design information may only be provided by an engineer. The design information will usually be in the form of design drawings or sketches but may also be via material lists, written instructions or computer files.Work may be performed individually on a contracting/project basis or as part of a project team in response to combinations of paper-based and digital instructions.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
