carry out calculations to determine voussoir size and shape for a guaged arch

build abutments to the specified height maintaining gauge and bond

fit the arch centre allowing for ease of stripping on completion

comply to the brickwork tolerances stated in the current Australian Standards and codes.

Knowledge Evidence

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

characteristics, applications and limitations of materials used for masonry arch construction

processes and techniques for:

setting out and constructing various types of arches

functional and operational features of plant, equipment, hand and power tools:

battery operated tools

workplace safety:

job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA)

working safely at heights

erecting and dismantling work platforms

exposure to silica

exposure to loud noise

key requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) relevant to masonry arch construction

environmental requirements for workplace processes and waste disposal.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.
