Assessment Requirements for CPPSIS6033 Conduct underground mine surveys

Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS6033A Conduct underground mine surveying.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

Performance Evidence

A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also conduct underground mine surveys for two different projects.

While conducting the above underground mine surveys, the person must:

analyse organisational priorities and plans and drawings to identify project specifications

prepare and document project plans and specifications that detail:

levels of rock stability and ground support

loading and haulage requirements for underground mines

mine ventilation requirements

required equipment

strategies for risk and contingency management

underground mining methods for metalliferous and coal mines

set out underground development based on design parameters in drawings

communicate clearly with clients and stakeholders to clarify and report project information

comply with organisational policies and procedures, standards, regulations and legislation relating to underground mining surveying operations when planning for:

drainage and dewatering

dumps and stockpiles

equipment use

loading and haulage

mine ventilation and air control

power and lighting

records and reporting

rock stability and ground support

standards and quality

surveying tasks

water control and supply

work health and safety and mines safety requirements

conduct underground surveying tasks to create mine drawings, and capture and reduce data to calculate mine volumes

perform calculations to measure, reduce and validate spatial data captured from underground mine surveying

measure survey components using two of the following pieces of equipment:

cavity monitoring systems

gyro-theodolites

level

remote sensing

tape

total station

plan and implement project management mechanisms to ensure the underground mine surveying operation is completed within required timeframes and the project complies with specifications and standards

work safely, using personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing surveying tasks.
