Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.0.

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBL3001A Lay paving. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to pave external areas. It includes laying pavers to varying grades, substrates and patterns.

This unit applies to those who carry out paving on new or existing residential or commercial sites. It is suitable for people operating with some autonomy. A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.

Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

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

Pre-requisite Unit

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency in this unit, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by laying two different paving patterns onto two separate areas.

In doing this, the candidate must:

  • prepare and lay pavers to a specified design to an area of a minimum of 3.0 m x 2.4 m on a sand bed and fill joints with sand:
  • set out paved area and excavate for a sand bed
  • compact the substrate and sand bed using a plate compactor
  • prepare and lay butter and joint clay paving bricks to an area of a minimum of 1.2 m x 1.4 m on a cement bed
  • apply the appropriate paving processes for the two paved areas.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a person must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • characteristics, applications and limitations of specified paving products and materials:
  • bedding materials
  • clay bricks and pavers
  • concrete blocks and pavers
  • mortar and sand
  • paving materials
  • slate
  • stone segments
  • waterproofing materials
  • mortar ingredients and consistency
  • paver sealing products
  • processes and techniques for:
  • setting out paver levels and heights
  • manual and mechanical excavation
  • compacting subsoils, substrates and bedding
  • laying paving in various patterns
  • finishing paver surface evenly and free of water ponding
  • controlling surface water runoff and subsoil drainage
  • construction terminology relating to paving
  • functional and operational features of plant, equipment and hand and power tools:
  • plate compactors
  • cement mixers
  • wet cut saws
  • battery operated tools
  • workplace safety:
  • job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA)
  • noise reduction
  • dust suppression
