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

It requires the ability to conduct an on-site reconnaissance, apply hydrology principles and use relevant charts from drainage design manual and other design aids.

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

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

Elements and Performance Criteria
Identify stormwater 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 interpreted 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, work requests or 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 OHS/WHS requirements for carrying out reconnaissance at the work site are followed
  • 2.2 On site reconnaissance to gather surveying data, measurements, photographs and other required information for the design project is carried out
  • 2.3 Design references are consulted and required documentation is gathered to complete the design task in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Computer aided design and drafting system (CADD) is set up according to operating procedure
  • 2.5 Decisions for dealing with unexpected situations are made from discussions with appropriate personnel, job specifications and workplace procedures
Complete the design
  • 3.1 Design solution is prepared to conform to relevant standards and regulations in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.2 Unexpected situations are dealt with in accordance with work plan and discussions with appropriate personnel
  • 3.3 Completed design is reviewed with appropriate personnel and amended as required to provide optimum solution
Compile, document and present design
  • 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
  • 4.3 Work completion is notified to appropriate personnel and required documentation completed accordance with workplace procedures
