Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to establish structural steel detailing arrangements carried out for residential, commercial, industrial or mining projects in a manner consistent with procedures and timelines for fabrication and construction projects. The unit requires knowledge of the roles of architects, engineers, builders and fabricators and the skill to interpret project schedules and timelines and their implications for structural steel detailing.This unit applies to structural steel detailers who are required to liaise with architects, consulting engineers, builders and fabricators at the commencement of a project to establish structural steel detailing arrangements that are consistent with the policies, procedures and timelines of fabrication or construction projects.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.The term ‘client’ in this unit refers to the organisation commissioning the production of structural steel detail drawings and will normally be the fabricator of structural steel elements of a construction project. However, depending on the project the client may vary and could be the consulting engineer, or in the case of mining projects, it could be the mining company. The client may commission structural steel detail drawing from either internal or external structural steel detailers.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.
