Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to line tunnels in civil construction, including drilling and installing rock bolts, applying reinforcing mesh and shotcreting the tunnel face.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

For Melbourne campuses

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:
• line tunnel on at least two occasions, including:
• drilling and installing rock bolts, applying reinforcing mesh and shotcreting at least a five lineal metre section of tunnel.

During the above, the candidate must:
• locate and apply required documentation, policies and procedures
• implement the requirements and techniques for the completion of lining tunnels, including:
• applying equipment and manual handling techniques
• selecting and using required tools and equipment
• identifying, reporting and recording hazards and risks
• interpreting engineering drawings
• identifying and reporting defects
• work with others to undertake and complete the lining of tunnels 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.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
• policies, procedures and documentation required for tunnel lining, including those relating to:
• work health and safety
• emergency response
• complying with safety data sheets (SDS) and materials handling methods
• project quality requirements
• environmental protection
• waste management
• communication techniques and equipment
• site isolation and traffic control responsibilities
• operational, maintenance and basic diagnostic procedures
• manufacturer specifications for required plant and equipment
• job plans and specifications
• site requirements
• preparing and applying shotcrete
• tunnel reinforcement
• housekeeping activities, including:
• cleaning up work area
• cleaning, maintaining and storing equipment
• waste management
• processing records
• civil construction terminology relevant to tunnel lining
• principles and techniques required to undertake tunnel lining, including those relating to:
• interpreting tunnel drawings and specifications
• complying with project quality requirements
• tunnel lining, including:
• shotcrete
• rock bolting
• reinforced mesh
• formwork
• pre-cast concrete lining
• concrete lining
• applied shotcrete finishes
• poured reinforced concrete
• concrete application
• types, characteristics, technical capabilities and limitations of plant and equipment required to line tunnels.
