Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver RIINHB329, 'Conduct sonic drilling operations'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Conduct sonic drilling operations' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan and prepare to conduct sonic drilling | 1.1 Obtain, interpret and confirm work requirements 1.2 Access, interpret and apply documentation required to conduct sonic drilling operations and confirm work activity is compliant 1.3 Identify and minimise environmental issues and potential hazards, and assess and address risks within scope of own role and according to workplace procedures 1.4 Select and wear personal protective equipment required for work activity 1.5 Communicate with other personnel at site according to work requirements and confirm briefings and handover details are communicated and received 1.6 Determine drilling and casing diameters required, as determined by sampling requirements, instrumentation install and client specification 1.7 Access, interpret and apply documentation required to determine casing diameter to match core barrel diameter 1.8 Carry out prestart and start-up procedures according to manufacturer specifications and site requirements |
2. Drilling with sonic core barrel | 2.1 Make up core barrel with bit, ensure bit outside diameter is matched to pass through casing shoe inside diameter 2.2 Inspect bit, core barrel, adapters and threads for damage and wear 2.3 Load core barrel into drill string according to manufacturer specifications 2.4 Commence sonic drilling, adjusting feed, rotation and oscillation to suit ground formation 2.5 Disengage oscillation at end of run before lifting core barrel off bottom of hole 2.6 Sit core barrel on bottom of hole and detach drill head |
3. Run casing over core barrel | 3.1 Fit casing adapter/deuce to drill head – reverse rotation 3.2 Add casing to drill head 3.3 Make up casing length with casing shoe, check for damage and/or wear of casing, shoe, adapters and threads 3.4 Ream casing over drill string, adjusting feed, rotation and oscillation to suit formation 3.5 Mix and use drill fluids as required 3.6 Break casing joint, leave casing on bottom of hole and remove casing adapter from drill head |
4. Retrieve core sample | 4.1 Make up drill string to rotation head 4.2 Trip rods and core barrel out of hole 4.3 Prepare work area to retrieve core 4.4 Vibe core from core barrel into polybag or tray 4.5 Trip core barrel and rods back down hole |
5. Trip casing out of completed hole | 5.1 Use vibe to extract casing from ground 5.2 Trip casing out of hole |
6. Conduct inspections of sonic head, spindle, fixtures and fixings, drill rods and casing | 6.1 Conduct regular inspections of sonic head, including bolts and mounting points for fatigue caused by sonic vibrations 6.2 Conduct regular inspections of spindle for fatigue caused by sonic vibrations 6.3 Inspect drill rods, core barrels, bits, casing, casing shoes and casing adapters for fatigue caused by sonic vibration 6.4 Use torque wrench to check tension of spindle/swivel bolts |
