Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to solve surveying and engineering-related problems. It requires the ability to identify, analyse and evaluate data to perform surveying computations. Functions would be carried out under limited supervision and within organisational guidelines.

Notes

Elements and Performance Criteria

1Prepare to perform traverse computations.

1.1 Task objectives are defined.1.2 Pertinent standards are identified, considered and adhered to, in line with project specifications.

2Execute the task.

2.1 Computations are performed on angles and bearings.2.2 Conversions between polar and rectangular modes are performed.2.3 Computations are performed on the coordinates of a simple closed traverse.2.4 Computations are performed on the missing elements of a traverse.2.5 Computations are performed on adjusted coordinates of a traverse.2.6 Traverse information from field notes is reduced.2.7 Traverse misclose computations are adjusted according to appropriate industry standards.2.8 Organisational documented and undocumented practices are adhered to.2.9 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.

3Solve surveying problems involving circular curves.

3.1 Computations are performed on all elements of circular curves.3.2 Problems involving circular curve missing elements are solved.3.3 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.

4Finalise the task.

4.1 All required documentation is completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.4.2 Relevant personnel are informed of the results according to organisational guidelines.4.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
