Modification History

Release 1.

This version first released with CPC Construction, Plumbing and Services Training Package Version 2.

Revised unit of competency. Replaces superseded equivalent unit CPCCCA3023A Carry out levelling operations.

Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy all of the elements, performance criteria and foundation skills of this unit. The person must also transfer levels and record differences in height, undertaking at least one open traverse and one closed traverse using both the rise and fall method and the height of collimation method, on three of the following types of levelling operations:

establishing approximate distances and transfer of reduced levels

locating power, water, gas and telecommunications services

measuring and recording ground levels at respective critical set-out points

measuring and recording heights or levels for installing joinery

measuring and recording heights or levels of ceilings and floors

measuring and recording or checking levels in drainage

measuring and recording slab or pad levels for placement of steel columns or masonry piers

positioning offsets and recovery pegs for construction projects or for use in determining quantity from calculations.

shooting levels for concrete slabs

shooting levels for excavation or footings

transferring levels or heights for formwork.

calculating rise and fall and height from collimation.

In doing the above work, the person must:

locate, interpret and apply information, including standards and specifications that apply to specific levelling tasks

comply with site safety plan, health and safety regulations, and state and territory legislation applicable to workplace operations

comply with organisational policies and procedures, including quality requirements

safely and effectively use tools and equipment

communicate and work effectively and safely with others, including using agreed communication signals

set up and test levelling equipment

confirm accuracy of the readings taken

accurately record results of each levelling procedure according to organisational requirements

calculate distances using an optical levelling instrument and levelling staff.

Knowledge Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:

reasons for making measurements of line, level and plumb in construction projects
