CPCCBL3011 - Construct curved walls

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes and 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: *construct one serpentine masonry wall to a minimum length of 4.0 m using the plotted points or template method and finished with a soldier course capping *construct one curved masonry wall with a minimum rise of 290 mm and radius of 2.4 m using the trammel technique *comply with brickwork tolerances stated in the current Australian Standards. Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge: *characteristics, applications and limitations of materials used for curved wall construction *processes and techniques for: - calculating and setting out various size curves - curved wall construction *using measurements and formulas to calculate quantities *facets generated by curved walls *aspects and factors relating to curved walls *construction terminology relating to curved wall construction *wall types, movement of joints and bonding patterns *functional and operational features of plant, equipment, hand and power tools *workplace safety: - job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA) - hazardous manual handling - exposure to silica - exposure to loud noise *current and relevant Australian Standards relating to constructing curved walls *key requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) for constructing curved walls *features of working drawings and specifications *environmental and waste management requirements.
