Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to work in a surveying capacity in an underground mining environment. It requires knowledge of underground mining operations and the ability to plan and draft mine drawings to meet job specifications. Functions will be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify project.
- 1.1 Organisational priorities are determined to identify project activity.1.2 Project specifications are presented to relevant personnel.
2Organise resources for underground mine surveying operations.
- 2.1 Processes and procedures involved in undertaking underground mining method, including mine access, layout, development and provision of services are planned according to organisational and OHS guidelines.
- 2.2 Mining techniques applicable to the development of headings in underground mining operations are planned according to project objectives.2.3 Underground mining methods for metalliferous and coal mines are determined.2.4 Levels of rock stability and ground support requirements are incorporated into the project specifications.2.5 Loading and haulage requirements for underground mines are detailed in project specifications.2.6 Mine ventilation requirements for underground mines are detailed in project specifications according to OHS guidelines.2.7 Mining regulations with regard to management, surveying and safety are detailed according to relevant legislation and company policy.2.8 All equipment use is planned according to manufacturer specifications.
3Manage underground mine surveying operations.
- 3.1 Project objectives, deliverables, constraints, principal work activities and equipment requirements are defined and documented according to spatial data specifications and client requirements.3.2 Work is scheduled to be completed within time available.3.3 Project management mechanisms are implemented to measure, record and report progress of activities in relation to the agreed schedule and plans.3.4 Agreed communication processes between project members, client and other stakeholders are implemented and maintained.3.5 OHS and legislative requirements are incorporated into project risk management.3.6 Pertinent legal and statutorystandards are researched, considered and adhered to.3.7 Contingencies and constraints are managed to ensure project meets specifications.3.8 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.
4Conduct operational elements of underground mine surveying operations.
- 4.1 Identified spatial components of mine design are accurately measured or set out.4.2 Measured spatial data is reduced to project reference system.4.3 Mine drawings are created to meet job specifications.4.4 Captured data is used to calculate mine volumes.4.5 Underground development is set out according to design parameters.4.6 OHS requirements are adhered to throughout the survey.4.7 Measured spatial data is reduced to project reference system for comparison with design.4.8 Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications.4.9 Quality assurance processes are implemented based on the project plan.
5Finalise the project.
- 5.1 Relevant personnel are informed of the results according to organisational guidelines.5.2 Required documentation is completed according to organisational guidelines.5.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
