This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to compile a mine survey plan using computer-aided design (CAD) programs to produce mine drawings. It includes organising work processes; checking and validating essential surveying information; and creating a survey database, file structures and conventions, and metadata. The unit also includes the use of specialist surveying tools and techniques to measure, reduce and validate spatial data and create mine plans, cross-sections and plots. This unit is suitable for surveyors who use broad theoretical and technical knowledge to analyse information as well as interpret and provide solutions to unpredictable and sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems. The unit supports those who work in a technical management role in a mining environment.All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace. Cadastral surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Users must check with the relevant regulatory state/territory authority before delivery. Licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit in some states/territories where mining surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Relevant state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm those requirements.
