Description
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to determine concrete supply requirements for different areas and features of planned concreting work. It includes identifying required concrete properties, volumes and costs from site and project documentation, and scheduling delivery.A person who has achieved this unit of competency would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing these tasks with a high degree of self-direction.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency in some states and territories. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia modelCode of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industrymeets this requirement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Assess site to identify concrete supply requirements.
  • 1.1 Review site information to determine general size and nature of planned concreting work.
  • 1.2 Read project documentation to identify required concrete materials for each concreting area and feature.
  • 1.3 Identify delivery method for concrete supply at different locations and heights and implications for required concrete material properties.
2 Identify and itemise required concrete properties.
  • 2.1 Identify strength grade designation of concrete supply for different areas or features of concrete work from project documentation and consultation with relevant persons.
  • 2.2 Identify variable components of, and additives to concrete mix for different areas or features of concrete work from project documentation and consultation with relevant persons.
  • 2.3 Identify concrete specifications to be met at on-site delivery from project documentation and consultation with relevant personnel.
  • 2.4 Itemise concrete supply requirements for each area and feature in accordance with specifications for concreting work, relevant Australian Standards and workplace requirements.
3 Calculate and document concrete volumes and supply costs.
  • 3.1 Identify dimensions of each area and feature of concreting work from site drawings and specifications.
  • 3.2 Calculate and document required concrete volumes for each area and feature in accordance with specifications for concreting work and workplace requirements.
  • 3.3 Calculate and document total volumes of concrete supply for areas and features requiring identical properties.
  • 3.4 Estimate and document total cost of concrete supply in accordance with workplace requirements.
4 Schedule concrete delivery.
  • 4.1 Identify concrete delivery locations and site access and egress details in consultation with relevant persons.
  • 4.2 Review project timelines and sequencing of work and calculate and document concrete delivery schedule to ensure continuous and timely supply.
  • 4.3 Prepare supplier specifications for volumes of different concrete mixes.
  • 4.4 Confirm delivery schedule with relevant persons, document and finalise for inclusion with concrete specifications.
5 Finalise specifications for concrete supply.
  • 5.1 Check specifications for concrete supply to confirm accuracy of concrete mix details for different areas or features.
  • 5.2 Check individual area, feature dimensions and concrete supply volume calculations to confirm accuracy.
  • 5.3 Check total volumes of concrete supply for areas and features requiring identical properties and confirm accuracy.
  • 5.4 Consult with relevant persons to obtain feedback on specifications and make required adjustments in accordance with workplace requirements.
  • 5.5 Complete supplier specifications in accordance with workplace requirements.
  • 5.6 Place concrete order with supplier including precise detail of delivery schedule and confirm order acceptance in accordance with workplace requirements.
