This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to set out and install a curved roof on a roof structure. It includes drawing fabrication patterns based on sketches of roof coverings, calculating curve dimensions and sheet lengths, and selecting required roofing materials.

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:

  • determining sheet length and developing a pattern or drawing for the manufacture of the curved roof components
  • installing pre-curved roof covering to a bullnose or curved roof structure of a minimum eave width of three metres, incorporating:
  • one internal or one external corner
  • curved flashing or valley
  • determining sheet length for a sprung-curved or sprung-arched roof
  • installing pierced-fixed convex sprung-curved or sprung-arched roof covering to a curved roof structure, incorporating a minimum width of two sheets.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • capillary action, thermal expansion and fabrication techniques to prevent leaking installations
  • processes for fixing covering to curved roof structures
  • characteristics and limitations of materials for installing roof coverings to curved roofs:
  • blanket and batt types
  • curved metal roof covers of concealed or pierce-fixed types
  • metal rainwater goods
  • metal self-drilling and tapping screws
  • non-metallic sheets for walls and roofs
  • rivets and sealants
  • thermal insulation of reflective foil laminates
  • other approved materials
  • how to access relevant information, including codes and standards
  • tools, materials and equipment used to install roof coverings to curved roof structures
  • work health and safety (WHS) requirements for installing roof coverings to curved roof structures.
