Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge and/or the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 |
Assess concreting site and nature of work. |
1.1 |
Site plans are reviewed and general size and nature of required concreting work are determined. |
1.2 |
Project specifications for concreting work are assessed and requirements for each area or feature are categorised according to differences in required concrete material properties. |
||
1.3 |
Delivery method for concrete supply at different locations and heights is determined and implications for required concrete material properties are assessed. |
2 |
Assess properties of concrete supply required. |
2.1 |
Strength grade designation (MPa) of concrete supply for different areas and features of concrete work is confirmed from project documentation and consultation with relevant personnel, as required. |
2.2 |
Variable components of, and additives to, concrete mix for different areas and features of concrete work are confirmed from project documentation and consultation with relevant personnel, as required. |
||
2.3 |
Concrete specifications to be met at on-site delivery are identified from project documentation and consultation with relevant personnel as required |
||
2.4 |
Concrete specifications f or each area and feature are specified for supplier according to project specifications and relevant standards. |
3 |
Determine total volumes and cost of supply of different types of concrete. |
3.1 |
Dimensions of each area or feature of concreting work are interpreted from detailed site drawings and specifications. |
3.2 |
Volume of concrete required for each area or feature is calculated according to industry standards and workplace and project requirements. |
||
3.3 |
Total volumes of concrete supply for areas and features requiring identical properties are calculated. |
||
3.4 |
Total cost of required concrete is estimated according to workplace procedures. |
4 |
Determine concrete delivery schedule. |
4.1 |
Concrete delivery locations and site access and egress details are confirmed in consultation with relevant project personnel. |
4.2 |
Project timelines and sequencing of work are assessed and concrete delivery schedule calculated to ensure continuous and timely supply. |
||
4.3 |
Supplier specifications for volumes of different concrete mixes are developed. |
||
4.4 |
Delivery schedule is confirmed with relevant project personnel, adjusted as required, and finalised for inclusion with concrete specifications. |
5 |
Finalise specifications for concrete supply. |
5.1 |
Specifications are reviewed and checked for accuracy of concrete mix details for different areas and features. |
5.2 |
Individual area and feature dimensions and volume calculations are reviewed and checked for accuracy. |
||
5.3 |
Total volumes of concrete supply for areas and features requiring identical properties are reviewed and checked for accuracy. |
||
5.4 |
Team members and supervisor or manager are consulted for feedback on specifications, as required, according to workplace procedures. |
||
5.5 |
Supplier specifications are processed according to workplace procedures. |
||
5.6 |
Concrete order including delivery schedule is placed with supplier and order acceptance is confirmed. |

Evidence Guide
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. |
|
Overview of assessment |
This unit of competency could be assessed by performing a range of tasks in the workplace or a close simulation of the workplace environment, provided that simulated or project-based assessment techniques fully replicate construction workplace conditions, materials, activities, responsibilities and procedures. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
A person should demonstrate the ability to:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Assessment of this unit:
Resource implications for assessment include:
|
Method of assessment |
Assessment for this unit must verify the practical application of the required skills and knowledge, using a combination of the following methods:
|
Guidance information for assessment |
This unit could be assessed on its own or in combination with other units relevant to the job function. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. Assessment processes and techniques should, as far as is practical, take into account the language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate in relation to the competency being assessed. |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. |
