Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1.
Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5053A Perform advanced surveying computations.
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.
Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to perform advanced surveying computations to solve from a range of surveying and basic engineering-related problems. The unit covers applying mathematical concepts, computations and conversions relating to algebra, statistics, geometry and trigonometry. It also covers solving a range of surveying problems to identify errors and missing elements, and make necessary adjustments to computations. It requires the ability to analyse and evaluate spatial data as the basis for performing computations.
The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying team.
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. |
Standards in relation to accuracy and tolerances are identified according to organisational requirements. |

||
|
2.3. |
Problems involving linear figures of parallel, constant or different width are identified and solved according to standards. |
||
|
2.4. |
Road intersections involving different road widths are solved according to standards. |
||
|
2.5. |
Computations are performed to maintain areas of closed figures according to industry-accepted standards. |
||
|
2.6. |
Computations are performed on all elements of complex circular and reverse curves, and missing elements are solved according to industry-accepted standards. |
||
|
3. |
Finalise computations. |
3.1. |
