Prepare to reinstate excavations and pavement surfaces
Overview
This Standard is about preparing to reinstate excavations and pavement surfaces.
It includes interpreting instructions, selecting tools, equipment and materials, identifying sub structures, following preparation procedures and reporting remedial works and defects. Materials can include including fine fill materials, back-fill materials, granular sub-bases, road base materials, bituminous road base materials, surfacing materials, concrete, modular surfacing, cold-lay, hot-lay and hot-rolled asphalt.
This Standard is for network construction operatives who prepare for re-instatement of excavations and pavement surfaces.
Performance Criteria
You need to able to:
use instructions and work specifications to identify the location of excavations and the extent of reinstatement required
identify the area and type of structure for reinstatement in accordance with relevant codes of practice
carry out preparation procedures for reinstatement of excavations in
accordance with relevant codes of practice
identify supply apparatus and sub-structures in accordance with relevant codes of practice
select materials, tools and equipment for reinstatement in accordance with relevant codes of practice
confirm that tools and equipment are in a condition suitable for use in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and operational requirements
report remedial work, defects in excavations, problems and conditions which are outside your control to appropriate people in accordance with organisational and operational procedures
