Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.
Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS4031A Perform surveying computations.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to perform surveying computations in a plane coordinate system. Computations involve simple and complex figures with regular and irregular sides, and computations for traverses, angles, bearings, coordinates, perimeter and area. Computations include simple horizontal curves and horizontal set-out data for curves. Specialised software applications are routinely used.
The unit supports those who work in support positions in a surveying team to conduct surveying and mapping tasks.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements describe the essential outcomes. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
||
1. |
Prepare for surveying computations. |
1.1. |
Task requirements are identified in consultation with appropriate persons . |
1.2. |
Computational methods are identified according to industry and organisational procedures. |
||
1.3. |
Computational equipment is selected according to task and organisational requirements. |
||
2. |
Execute computation tasks. |
2.1. |
Computations are performed on coordinates of a simple closed traverse using computational equipment, and missing elements and coordinates are adjusted and computed. |
2.2. |
Traverse information is reduced and adjustments are performed according to industry-accepted standards and task requirements. |
||
2.3. |
Computations are performed on all elements of simple circular curves, and missing elements are solved according to standards and organisational requirements. |
||
3. |
Finalise computation tasks. |
3.1. |
Data and computations are checked to ensure accuracy according to standards and task requirements. |
3.2. |
Computations are finalised and recorded according to organisational requirements. |
