Nominal hours
Location
Prerequisites
(Or equivalent to be determined by unit coordinator)
Co-requisites
(Corequisite units must be studied concurrently with this unit)
Overview
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to arc weld reinforcement to non-load bearing structural components as part of the construction process. It does not include specialist welding techniques.
It includes planning and preparing for the work, setting up for welding, welding the reinforcement, checking the reinforcement and completing clean-up activities.It applies to those who work under the direction of more experienced workers to arc weld reinforcement steel.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each units learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:
- deformed bars
- plain rods
- mesh sheets of plain bars
- mesh sheets of deformed bars.
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
