Modification History

Release 1

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

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBL3006A Lay multi-thickness walls and piers. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to lay multi-thickness walls and piers. It includes laying masonry walls in different brick bonds and laying engaged and isolated piers.

This unit applies to bricklayers and blocklayers who work on a new or existing structures. 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.

  • lay one Flemish bond wall to a minimum length of 1700 mm which incorporates a 590 mm (minimum) squint corner return; wall to be finished with a brick on edge capping finish with symmetrically mitred cuts over squint corner
  • lay one wall in chosen bond (not stretcher) to a minimum length of 2100 mm with a ‘T’ junction with a minimum length of 600 mm
  • engaged one pier to each wall at the same height of wall
  • set out and lay one isolated pier in the same bond for each wall, to the set-out wall height
  • comply to the brickwork tolerances stated in the current Australian Standards and codes.

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

  • characteristics, applications and limitations of approved materials used for multi-thickness walls and pier construction
  • processes and techniques for:
  • multi-thickness brick and pier construction
  • installing specified reinforcing
  • laying bricks to specified bond to provide structural stability
  • damp-proofing, installing drainage pipes and weep holes
  • construction terminology relating to multi-thickness wall and pier construction
  • brick bond patterns:
