Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to PMASUP432B Coordinate pipeline projects
Application
This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to scope and coordinate pipeline projects. It applies to pipeline projects, such as:
- installation of new plant piping and equipment
- pipeline repairs and modifications (e.g. hot tap and stoppling operations, welding and cutting operations)
- upgrades of existing plant, piping and equipment
- commissioning of pipelines and facilities
- construction and upgrade of pipeline easements.
This unit of competency applies to operators who are required to prepare scoping documents, specifications and/or tenders; coordinate the project through the construction and commissioning phases; prepare reports; liaise with stakeholders; and ensure that the project conforms to all safety requirements.
This unit of competency does not require the operation of a central control panel.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
