Description
This unit covers the construction/installation and maintenance of a range of measures specified on erosion and sediment control plans and defines the standard required to: select and prepare equipment; confirm the details of work; identify survey pegs and site indicators; construct earthworks in line with the plan; install erosion and sediment control products and materials; carry out repairs and maintenance procedures.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Prepare for implementation and construction
  • 1.1. Erosion and sediment control plan and schedule of works match site conditions.
  • 1.2. Survey pegs and site indicators are identified on site.
  • 1.3. Equipment and tools are matched to program works and terrain on site.
  • 1.4. Work readiness of selected equipment and tools are verified in line with contractor policy.
  • 1.5. Materials are selected to complete proposed works in line with construction schedule.
2. Carry out implementation and construction
  • 2.1. Earthworks are constructed in accordance with details specified in the plan and to industry standards.
  • 2.2. Erosion and sediment control products and materials are installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation and industry guidelines and plans.
3. Carry out repairs and maintenance procedures
  • 3.1. Site works maintenance inspection schedule is applied to reinstate operating effectiveness of erosion and sediment control measures on site.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to workplace operations and satisfy holistically all of the requirements of the performance criteria and required skills and knowledge and include achievement of the following:
select and prepare equipment
confirm the details of work
identify survey pegs and site indicators
construct earthworks in line with the plan
install erosion and sediment control products and materials
carry out repairs and maintenance procedures.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency requires the application of work practices under work conditions. Selection and use of resources for some worksites may differ due to the regional or enterprise circumstances.
