Modification History

Release 2

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Release 5.1.

Knowledge Evidence formatted for clarity. Change to Unit Sector.

Release 1

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

Supersedes and equivalent to CPCCWP3001A Apply waterproofing process to below ground level wet areas. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply waterproofing system to wet areas below ground level, meeting all relevant requirements of Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.

It includes identification of the appropriate waterproofing system to be used, its preparation and its application.

A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without 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.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit by applying waterproofing to below-ground wet areas, including:

  • a liquid system to waterproof:
  • covering a minimum of two square metres of a masonry wall
  • with a strip or toe footing, including terminations
  • including at least one penetration and a wall-to-wall junction
  • a sheet system to waterproof:
  • covering a minimum of two square metres of a masonry wall
  • with a strip or toe footing, including terminations
  • including at least one penetration and a wall-to-wall junction.

In doing this, the candidate must apply protection of the waterproofing.
