CPPSSI5065 Design basic engineering structures

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to design and create drawings for basic engineering structures. Basic engineering structures refer to small-scale designs for structures, such as rural or urban roads and sewer and stormwater drainage lines. It includes interpreting plans and design standards and specifications, organising resources, and developing a design. The unit also includes creating engineering drawings using design software functions and features.

This unit is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information systems (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.

Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.  

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.

Cadastral surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Users must check with the relevant regulatory state/territory authority before delivery.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
