Description

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to perform basic relevant geodetic surveying calculations. It requires the ability to analyse data and plan approaches to technical problems. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.

Notes

Elements and Performance Criteria

1Prepare to perform geodetic surveying.

1.1 Geodetic surveying task objectives are defined.1.2 Pertinent standards are identified, considered and adhered to according to project specifications.1.3 Special resource requirements are identified.1.4 OHS requirements are planned for and adhered to.

2Perform computations on the reference surface.

2.1 A relevant reference surface is selected for the required geodetic computations.2.2 Data is reduced to the required reference surface.2.3 Geodetic components for reference surface are identified and computed.
2.4 Checks are completed according to requirements and problems are solved.2.5 Organisational documented and undocumented practices are adhered to.2.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.

3Perform computations on the projection plane.

3.1 A relevant projection plane is selected for required geodetic computations.3.2 Data is reduced to the required projection plane.3.3 Geodetic components for projection plane are identified and computed.3.4 Checks are completed according to established requirements.

4Finalise the task.

4.1 All required documentation is completed promptly, accurately and according to organisational guidelines.4.2 Relevant personnel are informed of the results according to organisational guidelines.4.3 Spatial data is archived according to project specifications.
