Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit of competency applies to assembly of ferrous and non-ferrous fabrications to specifications including use of joining techniques. Skills covered by this unit are generally applied in occupational and work situations associated with steel fabrication, boilermaking or sheet metal work.
This unit has been developed for Engineering Tradesperson - Fabrication apprenticeship training and the recognition of trade skills in assembly of fabricated components.
Typical applications are transitions, pipeworks and structural fabrication, ductwork, general jobbing work, fired and unfired pressure vessels.
Work may be undertaken in plant or on-site, and as part of a team in many instances in cooperation with those with rigging/dogging skills where necessary.
This unit does not cover the skills for the assembly of fabricated engineering components. These skills are covered by MEM18006C Repair and fit engineering components.
Assembly using pre-constructed jigs is covered by MEM03001B Perform manual production assembly or MEM03003B Perform sheet and plate assembly.
Where welds are required to meet legislative or regulatory requirements, then appropriate welding units should also be selected.
Band: A
