CPCCCA3019 - Erect and dismantle formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
Overview
This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to erect and dismantle formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls to contain concrete in above-ground construction, 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:
setting out, assembling and bracing formwork
sorting formwork materials and preparing for re-useCompletion 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:
setting-out and erecting suspended slab formwork for a slab size of a minimum of 10 square metres. The formwork must incorporate:
*one beam
*one wall of a minimum of 1.8 metres high by 1.0 metre long
*two different types of columns with a specified formwork system at a minimum height of 1.8 metres
*block-outs and cast-in services.
Formwork may be prefabricated or fabricated in situ and must be rigid and able to withstand the mass of wet concrete and actions imposed during placement. It must comply with regulations and specifications for height, level and loadings.
Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:
*compliance requirements of the National Construction Code and Australian Standards including AS 3610 Formwork for concrete requirements relevant to erecting, stripping and dismantling formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*workplace quality policies and standards relevant to erecting, stripping and dismantling formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*safety requirements for erecting, stripping and dismantling formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*environmental requirements for erecting and dismantling formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*line, level and plumb for erecting formwork
*common formwork faults and problems, and suitable methods to rectify them
*formwork componentry
*materials and erection techniques used when erecting formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*contents of and terms and symbols used in plans, specifications and drawings relevant to erecting and dismantling formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls
*types and uses of tools and equipment used to erect and dismantle formwork
*processes for setting out formwork and measuring required materials
*purpose, application and properties of commonly used release agents relevant to erecting formwork to suspended slabs, columns, beams and walls.
