UETTDRDS45 Organise and implement ESI line and easement surveys

Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

Application

This unit covers the surveying of distribution and sub-transmission lines and easements for activities associated with the design and installation of electrical equipment. This activity encompasses the use of instruments, such as compasses, inclinometer and distance measuring devices, and be in accordance with customer requirements, nominated design specifications and company processes. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit.
