CPCCCA3014 - Construct and install bulkheads
Overview
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to construct bulkheads for decorative purposes, to contain fittings, such as range hoods and cupboards, to conceal services, and to help facilitate changes in ceiling heights, meeting all relevant requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), and Commonwealth and state or territory legislation.
The unit includes preparing for sheeting bulkheads with plasterboard, lining boards, reconstituted timber products and metal or plastic decorative panels; and installation of bulkheads which may be hung from, incorporated into, or fastened onto a structure in situ.
Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, incl 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:
*constructing and installing:
- one straight bulkhead framed in timber or steel measuring a minimum of 2 m width, 300 mm height and 300 mm depth
- one curved bulkhead framed in timber or steel measuring a minimum of 2 m width, 300 mm height and 300 mm depth
- installing a pre-manufactured bulkhead measuring a minimum of 2 m width, 300 mm height and 300 mm depth.
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*compliance requirements of the National Construction Code and Australian Standards relevant to constructing and installing bulkheads
*workplace quality policies and standards relevant to constructing and installing bulkheads
*safety requirements relevant to constructing and installing bulkheads
*purposes of bulkheads:
- decoration, to contain fittings (bar hoods and cupboards) and help facilitate changes in height to ceilings
- services
- range hoods
*materials and methods used to construct and install bulkheads
*application of curved geometry in the construction of bulkheads
*load and anchor capacities for bulkheads
*use of plans, specifications and drawings when constructing and installing bulkheads
