Unit of competency
Modification History
|
Release 1 |
This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS4031 Perform surveying computations. |
Application
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to perform surveying computations used in surveying and spatial information services. Computations involve simple and complex figures with regular and irregular sides, and computations for traverses, angles, bearings, distances, heights, coordinates, perimeters and areas. Computations also include those for simple horizontal curves and horizontal set-out data for curves. Specialised hand-held devices and software applications are routinely used.
This unit is suitable for entry-level technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply a range of methods, tools, materials and information to complete routine and non-routine activities and provide and transmit solutions to a variety of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.
Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
