Description
This unit covers planning on-site irrigation system installations and construction work and defines the standard required to: identify operational requirements from contract documentation; develop strategies and plan procedures for installation and construction; develop a project plan with tasks, responsibilities, timelines and costs.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Appraise contract documentation and translate into operational requirements
  • 1.1. Copy of building approval and conditions is obtained as required.
  • 1.2. Contract documentation is reviewed for any unusual aspects of construction, use of materials and penalties.
  • 1.3. Availability of sub-contractors is ascertained and selected to suit job requirements.
  • 1.4. Availability of materials is checked with suppliers.
  • 1.5. Site access limitations are assessed.
  • 1.6. Relevant authorities controlling construction work advised of commencement date for project as required.
2. Develop strategies for implementing the construction operations
  • 2.1. Procedures for controlling and recording site deliveries are established.
  • 2.2. Procedures for recording the hire of plant and equipment are determined.
  • 2.3. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) procedures are established, including hazard/risk management.
  • 2.4. Procedures are established for dealing with environmental issues associated with irrigation construction work.
  • 2.5. Procedures required for the control of multiple projects are determined.
3. Prepare project schedule for irrigation installation and construction
  • 3.1. Construction operations are prepared in sequence.
  • 3.2. Operations are entered into a manually prepared schedule or computer based software package.
  • 3.3. 'Critical path' is identified and schedule revised with new activities/projects, as needed, and documented.
  • 3.4. Timeframe is adjusted to take account of anticipated delays.
4. Determine all the required resources for project
  • 4.1. Temporary services and site accommodation is determined as required.
  • 4.2. Plant requirements and dates are selected and accessed.
  • 4.3. On site labour requirements are determined.
5. Prepare dilapidation report
  • 5.1. Records are made of the condition of existing building(s) to be retained and structures on the adjacent site boundaries.
  • 5.2. Copies of reports are submitted to adjacent building owners prior to commencing construction.
