Description
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to obtain, process and set up drawings for the detailed design of hydrant and hose reel systems for low to high-rise buildings over 25 metres and 45 metres in height.This unit of competency supports the role of fire systems designers and hydraulic design consultants who manage their own work and take responsibility for assessing and selecting component requirements, setting out the locations of components and creating final notated drawings for hydrant and hose reel systems.The role may involve interaction with fire engineers, architects, contractors, suppliers, clients and relevant planning authorities and requires a sound understanding of applicable legislation, standards and codes, including the National Construction Code (NCC).This unit does not apply to fire systems for special hazard locations.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit.
