Project Portfolio

Information about how you should complete this assessment can be found in Appendix A of the Civil Construction Works Student User Guide . Refer to the appendix for information on:

• where this task should be completed
• how your assessment should be submitted.

Note : You must complete and submit an assessment cover sheet with your work. A template is provided in Appendix B of the Student User Guide. However, if your RTO has provided you with an assessment cover sheet, please ensure that you use that.

This assessment task requires you to prepare detailed designs of motorways and interchanges on two occasions. If you are completing this in your RTO, this will be as per the project information provided to you by your assessor. If you are completing this based on a workplace, this will be for two projects of your choice.

Vocational education and training is all about gaining and developing practical skills that are industry relevant and that can help you to succeed in your chosen career. For this reason, basing your project on real relationships with classmates or work colleagues will mean that you are applying your knowledge and skills in a relevant, practical and meaningful way!

You will be collecting evidence for this unit in a Project Portfolio . The steps you need to take are outlined below. Before you begin, complete page 4 of your Project Portfolio .

Preparation

You are required to plan for and prepare to conduct two detailed designs of motorways and interchanges. This involves:

•  Accessing the requirements for the work, including all relevant documentation and legislation and policies and procedures.
• Interpreting the requirements for each design based on a review of requirements and documentation.
• Preparing design plans, including a risk assessment.

Complete Section 1 of your Project Portfolio . The Project Portfolio includes separate sections for you to document your work in relation to Project 1 and Project 2. You will also use the template Detailed design of motorways and interchanges Plan template .
