Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5047A Conduct an advanced GNSS data collection and set out survey.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys for data collection and engineering set-outs, using GNSS equipment and suitable software to communicate with GNSS receivers. The unit covers project managing data collection activities, including planning collection methodologies and allocating work tasks in a team environment. The unit requires the ability to validate the accuracy of data and identify discrepancies between specifications and actual activities.

The unit supports those who work under limited supervision in a surveying team.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

  • accessibility of marks
  • environmental considerations
  • field reconnaissance
  • GNSS methodology to be used
  • network design
  • placement of survey marks
  • work health and safety considerations
  • schedule and allocate resources and work tasks
  • collect data for GNSS positions, including differential methods
  • operate GNSS equipment and software, as specified in the assessment conditions, to collect data appropriate to survey specifications
  • communicate clearly with others to clarify and report work information
  • analyse survey specifications, including:
  • cross-sections and plans
  • technical descriptions of surveying data and their requirements
  • apply projection and datum parameters when using GNSS equipment and software
  • comply with industry-accepted standards for validating accuracy of GNSS data
  • comply with organisational requirements for:
  • completing records and documentation
