In both cases, appropriate evidence of the assessment activities must be provided. Instruction to Assessors: · You must assess student’s assessment according to the provided Marking Criteria. · You must complete and record any evidence related to assessment activities including role-plays and presentations using appropriate forms which must be attached with student assessment submission. · You must provide students with detailed feedback within 10 working days from submission. ( ASSESSOR NOTE These instructions must be followed when assessing the student in this unit. The checklist on the following page is to be completed for each student. Please refer to separate mapping document for specific details relating to alignment of this task to the unit requirements . This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or Australian standards' requirements. )Skills Assessment (Practical Tasks) ( Approved by: Nerida McDowallApproved Date: 22 Sep 2021Created by: Task 1Doc #: DOC12036Next Review: 22 Sep 2022Revision: 1.0Revision Date: 22 Sep 2021 26 | P a g e ) ( Resource implications for assessment include: • an induction procedure and requirement • realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements • relevant specifications and work instructions • tools and equipment appropriate to applying safe work practices • support materials appropriate to activity • workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and emergencies • material safety data sheets • research resources, including industry related systems information. Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the provision of appropriate assessment support. ) · What happens if your result is ‘Not Yet Competent’ for one or more assessment tasks? · The assessment process is designed to answer the question “has the participant satisfactorily demonstrated competence yet?” If the answer is “Not yet”, then we work with you to see how we can get there. · In the case that one or more of your assessments has been marked ‘NYC’, your Trainer will provide you with the necessary feedback and guidance, in order for you to resubmit/redo your assessment task(s). · What if you disagree on the assessment outcome? · You can appeal against a decision made in regards to an assessment of your competency. An appeal should only be made if you have been assessed as ‘Not Yet Competent’ against specific competency standards and you feel you have sufficient grounds to believe that you are entitled to be assessed as competent. · You must be able to adequately demonstrate that you have the skills and experience to be able to meet the requirements of the unit you are appealing against the assessment of. · You can request a form to make an appeal and submit it to your Trainer, the Course Coordinator, or an Administration Officer. The RTO will examine the appeal and you will be advised of the outcome within 14 days. Any additional information you wish to provide may be attached to the form. · What if I believe I am already competent before training? · If you believe you already have the knowledge and skills to be able to demonstrate competence in this unit, speak with your Trainer, as you may be able to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). · Credit Transfer · Credit transfer is recognition for study you have already completed. To receive Credit Transfer, you must be enrolled in the relevant program. Credit Transfer can be granted if you provide the RTO with certified copies of your qualifications, a Statement of Attainment or a Statement of Results along with Credit Transfer Application Form. (For further information please visit Credit Transfer Policy) Your Assessor will provide you with a briefing for a project requiring a geotechnical investigation. You are required to produce a geotechnical design to align with the project requirements. This requires you to apply your knowledge of the requirements, procedures and instructions for the completion of the detailed geotechnical works design and documentation and requires: · implementation of procedures and techniques for the safe, effective and efficient completion of the detailed geotechnical works design and documentation · the identification of the relevant information and scope of the work required to meet the required outcomes · the identification of viable options and the selection of detailed geotechnical works design and documentation that best meet the required outcomes · completion of the detailed geotechnical works design and documentation · consistent successful completion of the detailed geotechnical works design and documentation You can use the attached template as a basis for the developed design, taking into account: · risk assessment and management requirement and procedures · occupational health and safety requirements and procedures · environmental management requirements and procedures · cultural and heritage requirements and procedures · quality management requirements and procedures · communication requirements and procedures · Australian and other relevant standards requirements and procedures · industry and organisational design procedures and practice · current industry best practice · geotechnical works options · geotechnical works geometric requirements · geotechnical works surfacing requirements · potential hazards, constraints and conditions that may affect geotechnical works design and construction · current industry best practice in geotechnical works design and construction · techniques for choosing preferred options · team leadership techniques · operational techniques required for the execution of geotechnical works construction tasks · geotechnical works plant and equipment capabilities · cost estimation techniques · design review principles and procedures · documentation requirements · reporting requirements and procedures · design approval requirements and procedures · design records filing requirements and procedures · performance review requirements and procedures · systems close out requirements and procedures For the purposes of this assessment task, your Assessor will perform the role of the client and you must ensure that the client is briefed in the design along with being provided a written copy of the design.

Sufficient geotechnical information should be gathered and interpreted to allow a designer to appreciate the limitations and opportunities that the site conditions present. As such, the investigations will be undertaken in the context of identifying geotechnical issues and risks, in order to mitigate them through the design and construction phases of the project. 1.1.4 Scope of Services of Geotechnical Investigation The scope of the geotechnical investigation services comprises (delete as appropriate): Part A – Gravel and other material source investigations Part B – Existing and new road alignment investigations Part C – Bridge site and other stream crossing investigations Part D – Foundation investigations Details of each part are included in the brief in the following sections. 1.1.5 Delivery Timeframes The geotechnical investigation services will be provided in accordance with the following timeframes. Activity Cumulative Delivery Timeframe from Start of Commission Field Work 4 weeks Laboratory Testing 8 weeks Draft Report 10 weeks Final Report 12 weeks 1.1.6 Traffic Management Before starting any field works including survey, geotechnical investigations and potholing, prepare and submit Traffic Management Plans (TMP) consistent with the “Provision of Traffic” section in the Department’s Standard Specification for Road Works. 1.1.7 Standards, Guides and References Austroads Guide to Road Design, Part 7, Geotechnical Investigation and Design Geotechnical Site Investigations, Australian Standards AS1726 Methods of Testing Soils for Engineering Purposes, Australian Standards, AS1289 - various Methods for Sampling and Testing aggregates, Australian Standards, AS1141.3.1-2012 Residential Slabs and Footings, Australian Standards, AS2870-2011 Bridge Design, Foundations, Australian Standards, AS5100.3-2004 Australasia 2016 – Conference on Piling and Deep Foundations Northern Territory Test Methods (NTTM), refer Department website for current versions.
