Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, knowledge and skills required to apply principles of engineering design for a sewerage reticulation scheme using appropriate design standards.

It requires the ability to conduct an on-site reconnaissance to gather survey data, apply hydrology principles, sewerage reticulation design procedures and use relevant charts from drainage design manual.

The unit applies to a person working at paraprofessional level in a civil engineering environment responsible for the development of sewerage reticulation design solutions.

No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of accreditation.

Elements and Performance Criteria
Identify sewerage reticulation scheme to be designed
  • 1.1 Occupational health and safety/workplace health and safety (OHS/WHS) requirements and environmental requirements for a given work area are determined and followed
  • 1.2 Safety hazards which have not previously been identified are documented and risk control measures devised and implemented in consultation with appropriate personnel
  • 1.3 Design requirements are identified from documentation, job brief and discussions with appropriate personnel
  • 1.4 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is co-ordinated effectively with others involved at the work site
  • 1.5 Resources and equipment needed for the task are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
Plan design approach
  • 2.1 On site reconnaissance to gather surveying data, measurements, photographs and other required information for the design project is carried out
  • 2.2 Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations are made from discussions with appropriate personnel, job specifications and workplace procedures
  • 2.3 Design references are consulted and required documentation is collated for the design task in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Computer aided design (CAD) software and drafting system is set up according to operating procedure
Develop the design
  • 3.1 Design solution for the sewerage reticulation scheme is prepared to conform to relevant Australian standards and regulations to meet the job brief
  • 3.2 Completed design is reviewed with appropriate personnel and amended as required to provide optimum solution
Present design solution and store equipment
  • 4.1 Design solution is presented and discussed with appropriate personnel
  • 4.2 Design references and equipment are maintained and stored in accordance with workplace procedures
