This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to install tunnelling constructions services in civil construction, including air and ventilation ducting, pipelines and road and rail access.
It applies to those working in operational roles. They generally work under minimal supervision to undertake a broad range of tasks in varied work contexts, using some discretion and judgement in selecting equipment, services or contingency measures.
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
• install tunnelling constructions services on at least two occasions, including installing at least:
• twenty metres of ventilation,
• twenty metres of drainage, and
• twenty metres of road or rail access for one project to job specification.
During the above, the candidate must:
• locate and apply required, legislation documentation, policies and procedures
• implement the requirements, procedures and techniques to install tunnelling constructions services, including:
• applying equipment and manual handling techniques
• selecting and using required tools and equipment
• work with others to undertake and complete the installation of tunnelling constructions services that meets all required outcomes, including:
• organising work activities to meet task requirements
• communicating with others to receive and clarify work instructions
• using communication techniques and systems to advise others of work activity and exclusion zones.
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by Victoria University and/or via the Victoria University e-learning system.
