Objective of assessments

We are committed to your learning by providing a training and assessment framework that ensures the knowledge gained through training is translated into practice in your work in the workplace with consistent and competent work performance. The purpose of the assessment process is to assess your ability:

  • Carry out inspections of civil structures on at least two occasions, including:
  • Interpreting project contract specification requirements
  • Applying procedures to problem solve
  • Making decisions for activity
  • Carrying out continuous improvement in meeting task outcomes.

 

The assessment processes

The assessment process is known as competency-based assessment. This means that evidence of your current skills and knowledge will be measured against national standards, not against the learning you have undertaken either recently or in the past. Some of the assessment will be concerned with how you apply your skills and knowledge in a workplace, and some in the training room as required by each unit. The assessment tasks have been designed to enable you to demonstrate skills and knowledge application and produce the critical evidence to successfully demonstrate competency at the required standard.

 

Your assessor will ensure that you are ready for assessment and will explain the assessment process.  Your assessment tasks will outline the evidence to be collected and how it will be collected, for example, a written activity, case study, or demonstration and observation. The assessor will also have determined if you have any special needs to be considered during assessment. Changes can be made to the way assessment is undertaken to account for special needs and this is called making Reasonable Adjustment provided to you in the assessment guide provided to you separately.

 

Assessment guide

Your assessment guide that is provided to you will explain the following. Please refer to assessment guide for the following information before commencing your written work and demonstration:

  1. Your responsibilities during the assessment.
  2. Assessor responsibilities during the conduct of assessment.
  3. Your rights to appeal if the assessment outcome appears as “Not Yet Competent” for one or more assessment tasks.
  4. The process to apply if you already possess the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in this unit.
  5. The formats and structure of the written assessment work for submission.
  6. The length, breath and the quantity of your written work, plagiarism collusion, cheating and how to use references for sources of information.
  7. How to achieve a satisfactory outcome against the criteria for each type of assessment task.
  8. Application of reasonable adjustments where necessary.
  9. Requirements for demonstration, performance for practical assessment tasks and activities.
  10. Your assessment performance with commitment, consistency, clarity, capacity, capability, correctness and completeness.

 

Assessment methods

Building – if you start construct building develop planning and scope for this project and engineer make report include budget and client requirement and site inspection soil , test and equipment and Machin use in project and risk is asses before start work use deep foundation for multistorey building for taking more load and cement and concrete set properly and bond is strong so take inspection time to time and use best quality of material in building and acquire plot and prepare budget then meet builder and architecture for drawing after this prepare site inspection plan and levelling then start foundation or brick work start then make floor slab or roof structure after all work do electrical and plumbing work then ask client is satisfied if not satisfied change according to client and satisfy client. . (Munds, et al. 2019)

 

 

  1. Why is it necessary to come up with a number of design concepts for a project?

 

Because any design is not perfect and fail and client is not satisfied due to some reason so other design is used in project so necessary to come up with number of design of project.

 

  1. Provide examples of non-standard engineering requirements where you may need seek advice from other personnel? Who would they be and why?

 

Product tester, finance manager, or builder and labour. Or operation staff and client give information in civil work and it cent be include in engineering work.

 

  1. Describe one way to establish a shared understanding of desired project outcomes with a relevant stakeholder. Provide specific examples.

Meeting is a way to communicate outcome of stakeholders

Email is best way to share project outcome with stake holed

Example

Message   for stakeholders

I am writing this message to informed stakeholder to provide information about project outcome in this project detailed provide an out-project scop, site inspection, soil test, risk of site provides and budget and use of equipment also provide in this agenda.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Outline potential positive and negative community impacts a new road bridge across a river joining two suburbs can bring.

 

Positive impact-

Facilitate travel in easy way

Reduce transportation time

Negative impact –

Affecting water velocity and depth.

Risk of flooding and erosion affect water quality (Gonçalves& Margarido ,2015)

 

 

  1. Develop a procedure for communicating project progress to relevant stakeholders.

 

Identify stakeholders

Use email, social media and call process.

Communication about technical process

Presentations method (Adhikari, et al.2016)

 

Project reports.

Use group video call or screen to screen meeting

Use informal talk from stake holders.

 

  1. Define one factor that influences the selected design processes.

 

The design process is influenced by client need and requirement. And affect by finance and time period for build and change in any design.

 

  1. How can BIM be used in civil construction projects?

 

Building information modelling is a process for creating and, managing information on a construction project in project life cycle use digital and technical method for building information in BIM

Specify location of intersection 1. Open intersection, provide intersection in drawing (Adhikari, et al.2016)

 

 

 

  1. What advantages does 3D printing provide for developing models of design?

 

3D printing is one of the best tool of design industry more complex design is made by 3D printing process. It can be minimising the manufacturing waste, lower the carbon foot print and support the economy.

 

  1. When does document creation commence in a civil construct on project? Why?

 

Document creation in construction work play important role in civil construction introduced material, processes, and specification or codes and government regulation and standard and site inspection material quality maintain in construction document and work is complete with plan.

Design document include information about users, project deadline, work that implement for project and design decision all information include in documentation. . (Munds, et al 2019)

 

 

  1. How should design changes be documented?

 

If you change in design due to some reason follow process of design change meet architect and builder by request of client and talk the design That you should change in project communicate all team member about changes and consent of all change the design of project.

 

  1. Select one of the following types of civil works and outline the benefits provided to users of the completed project:
  • Land clearing
  • Bulk earthworks
  • Surface drainage works
  • Water storage dam’s construction
  • Tailings dam’s construction
  • Topsoil management
  • Rehabilitation works
  • Road works preparation (including the sub grade)
  • Pavement construction, including:
  • Flexible pavements, including
  • Rigid pavement construction
  • Underground services construction
  • Construction of civil structures
  • Tunnelling
  • Dredging

Road work preparation – use bituminous in road construction after this prepare the existing base layer and follow application of tuck coat and concrete is placed if re    quire and placing premix after this rolling the road and quality control of bituminous concrete construction and finished surface work. And road is made by cement, coarse aggregate gravel, fine aggregate like sand and water and machine are require for road work. If road is best mean transportation and time save for journey and vehicle is not require maintenance if road is best. (Munds, et al, 2019)

  1. What acceptance testing could you propose for a public drainage project? Why?

 

Drainage air test – isolating the section of pipe that needs to be tested using plugs and stat pressure for 5 minutes if any change occurs in this time period measure and record in document.

Visual inspection of sewer pipe and identify problems. (Adhikari, et al.2016)

 

Linkage testing of pipe and main hole.

Vic road investment framework provide guidance how benefits identifies using framework in road construction frame work is used for post evaluation framework provide planning, undertaking and post completion evaluation.

 

  1. Obtain a copy of the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development, measuring infrastructure asset performance and customer satisfaction: a review of existing frameworks, from https://www.bitre.gov.au/publications/2017/files/rr_147.pdf and outline one way to design outcomes can be measured for road related infrastructure.

 

Thaw most common way to determine the infrastructure asset performance  is to look return of asset net income record maintain and divide by total asset total asset calculation is average of barging to last asset value and use many asset in construction work geo technical and civil engineer perform site inspection and environment test ,flood test before start construction work it reduce me the chance of loss so it is also asset of civil work and machinery is asset of civil work so maintenance team is require for machinery and material that   use in construction work and broad knowledge provide by above link.
