Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to apply specialised techniques, instruments and instrument attachments for the purpose of carrying out precise setting out and industrial surveys. It requires the ability to use instruments or techniques to carry out precision surveys. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Prepare to perform precision survey.
- 1.1 Task objectives are defined.1.2 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in design and set out survey.
2Set up precise levelling and reduce the results of a precise levelling run.
- 2.1 Pertinent standards are identified, considered and adhered to according to precision surveyingproject specifications.2.2 Organisational documented and undocumented practices are adhered to.2.3 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.
- 2.4 Constructional features of the equipment and thespecialised attachments necessary to achieve the requirements of precise levelling are determined.2.5 Accuracy specifications as set out in the survey precision instructions or the manufacturer specifications for tolerances relevant to precise levelling are determined.2.6 Precise levelling run of an accuracy consistent with the current relevant accuracy standard is carried out and results are calculated and recorded according to organisational guidelines.
3Apply specialised techniques used for precise setting out and industrial surveys.
- 3.1 Applications of specialised surveying techniques used for precise setting out and optical tooling are determined.3.2 Applications of specialised instruments and instrument attachments used for precise setting out are determined.3.3 Remote measuring systems to be used in the industrial measurement are determined.3.4 Set out and observations using instruments and attachments suitable for precise setting out are conducted.
4Detect and monitor deflection and deformation of structures.
- 4.1 Survey methods used to check horizontal movement of engineering structures and instruments used to monitor verticality of tall structures are determined.4.2 Survey methods used to check vertical movement due to settlement of engineering structures caused by tunnelling and mining are determined.4.3 Precision survey of an accuracy that will detect and monitor deformation or deflection of an engineering structure is carried out.
5Document results.
- 5.1 Results of the survey are presented to relevant personnel according to organisational guidelines.5.2 Required documentation is completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.5.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
