 Assessor Pack

The student must read and understand all the information in the Unit Requirements before completing the
Student Pack.

5. Feedback to student

Feedback on the student’s assessment performance is a vital element of learning. Its purpose is to justify to
students how their competency was assessed, as well as to identify and reward specific qualities in their
work, to recommend aspects needing improvement, and to guide students on what steps to take.

Feedback defines for students what their trainer/assessor think is important for the student to know with
regards to a topic or a subject. At its best, feedback should:
• Be provided for each Assessment Task
• Guide students to adapt and adjust their learning strategies
• Guide trainers/assessors to adapt and adjust their teaching to accommodate the student’s
learning needs
• Be a pivotal feature of learning and assessment design, not an add-on ritual
• Focus on course and unit learning outcomes
• Guide students to become independent and self-reflective learners and their own critics
• Acknowledge the developmental nature of learning
Feedback should not provide short/one-word comments, such as “Fantastic” or “Great work!”. Feedback
needs to be:

• Constructive - highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of a given piece of work, it should set
out ways in which the student can improve the work.
• Timely – should be given while the assessed work is still fresh in a student's mind before the
student moves on to subsequent tasks.
• Meaningful- should target individual needs, be linked to specific assessment criteria, and be
received by a student in time to benefit subsequent work.
If students have not received proper feedback, they can speak to the Compliance or Administration
Department responsible for looking after the quality and compliance services of the Training Organization

For more information, please refer to the Training Organization’s Student Handbook.

Learner Instructions

Overview
Prior to commencing the assessments, your trainer/assessor will explain each assessment task and the terms
and conditions relating to the submission of your assessment task. Please consult with your trainer/assessor if
you are unsure of any questions. It is important that you understand and adhere to the terms and conditions,
and address fully each assessment task.
Written work

Assessment tasks are used to measure your understanding and underpinning skills and knowledge of the
overall unit of competency. When undertaking any written assessment tasks, please ensure that you address
the following criteria:

Address each question including any sub-points

Demonstrate that you have researched the topic thoroughly
Cover the topic in a logical, structured manner
Your assessment tasks are well presented, well referenced and word processed
Active participation

It is a condition of enrolment that you actively participate in your studies. Active participation is completing
all the assessment tasks on time.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your
own. Plagiarism is a serious act and may result in a learner’s exclusion from a course. When you have any
doubts about including the work of other authors in your assessment, please consult your trainer/assessor.
The following list outlines some of the activities for which a learner can be accused of plagiarism:

Presenting any work by another individual as one's own unintentionally

Handing in assessments markedly like or copied from another learner
Presenting the work of another individual or group as their own work
Handing in assessments without the adequate acknowledgement of sources used, including assessments
taken totally or in part from the internet.

If it is identified that you have plagiarized within your assessment, then a meeting will be organized to
discuss this with you, and further action may be taken accordingly.

Collusion

Collusion is the presentation by a learner of an assignment as their own that is, in fact, the result in whole or
in part of unauthorized collaboration with another person or persons. Collusion involves the cooperation of
two or more learners in plagiarism or other forms of academic misconduct and, as such, both parties are
subject to disciplinary action.
Competency outcome

There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NS = Not Satisfactory (requires more training
and experience).

Once the learner has completed all the assessments for this unit of competency, the learner will be awarded
“Competent” (C) or “Not Competent” (NC) for the relevant unit of competency.
Confidentiality

 Assessment 1 - Knowledge Test

Q-1 Which legislation / Standard is required to Prepare Detailed Design of Urban Roads?

A-1 IRC:37-2001 is the code for the design of urban roads that was released by the Roads Congress.
Roadway geometry, pavement, drainage, and traffic management are all aspects of urban road
design that are included in this regulation. Everything else about the design is covered as well.
IRC:37-2001, which regulates urban highway building, is based on the AASHTO Green Book
criteria. The IRC:37-2001 specifies rules for dealing with Indian resources and situations. In
addition, the code includes guidelines for the layout of roads in major cities.
As such, the intended audience for the IRC:37-2001 code is engineers and architects who are
already aware with the requirements specified in the AASHTO Green Book. The general public is
not allowed to make any use of the code.

Q-2 What is the procedure to Prepare Detailed Design of Urban Roads?

A-2 Step one: conduct a survey of the study region to gather baseline data.

Second, examine the information you have gathered to pinpoint the issues that have arisen.

Create a list of what you want to accomplish with this project.

Decide on the road type.

Create a comprehensive plan for the sort of route you've decided on.

Calculate the project's return on investment.

Make sure you get permission from the right people.

Actually do something about the project.

Keep an eye on the stats and assess the outcome.

You should revise it if you see it essential to do so.

Finalize the project.

Inform the relevant parties of the findings.

Q-3 What documentations are required for designing of Roads?

A-3 An engineering survey must underpin all design efforts.

Any construction and planning must follow the appropriate Department's requirements and all
applicable standard drawings.

The Department requires all plans and phasing calculations to be presented in accordance with its
prescribed formats.

Q-4 What are the most commonly used industry materials for construction of roads?

A-4 The two most prevalent materials for roads are asphalt and concrete. Asphalt is made in a plant that
heats, dries and combines gravel, bitumen and sand into a composite mix.

Q-5 Name and explain different types of road networks. (Any Two)

A-5 Networks may be classified into different topologies (e.g., T-shaped networks, grid-shaped
networks) based on characteristics including the prevalence of non-circular traffic, the presence of
dead-end streets, and the availability of branching routes.

Q-6 List the components and their general sizes of an urban carriageway.

A-6 The typical width of a rural carriageway is 3.5 metres, and it has two travel lanes and a 1.5-meter
shoulder on each side. In light of this, the road is 11 metres in width. The weight of 40 tonne cars
will not crack the asphalt or concrete pavement. Gravel is used for the base, and then asphalt or
concrete is laid over it. A ditch is excavated along both sides of the road to eliminate the possibility
of potholes. The standard dimensions of a ditch are 1 m in depth and 0.5 m in width. The typical
average grade of a rural road is between 2% and 6%. For every kilometre of paved road, this adds
an additional 2-6 metres to the elevation. The speed limit on rural roads is normally 80 kilometres
per hour, but may be reduced in places with heavy foot or animal traffic. Between twenty and thirty
years is the typical lifespan of a rural carriageway before it has to be resurfaced or rebuilt.

Q-7 List down the machinery and equipment requirement for construction of roads.

A-7 -Construction equipment

-Heavy machinery
-Trucks
-Trailers
 -Construction materials
-Safety gear
-Personal protective equipment
-First aid kit
-Tool box
-Power tools
-Hand tools
-Ladders
-Scaffolding
-Cranes
-Forklifts
-Excavators
-Dozers
-Graders
-Pipe layers
-Trenchers
-Rollers
-Sweepers
-Pavers
-Asp
-Concrete mixer
-Concrete pump
-Tower crane
-Dump truck
-Bulldozer
-Backhoe halt finishers

Q-8 Briefly explain flow rate, density, areas, volumes, and mass.

A-8 The pace at which a fluid or gas moves through an opening of a certain size is known as its
flow rate. The standard measurement is L/min (litres per minute).

The density of anything is its mass per unit volume. A standard unit of measurement is the
gramme per cubic centimetre (g/cm3).

The area of a flat surface may be used to quantify its size. Square metres are the standard
measure of area (m2).

A thing's volume is a measure of its three-dimensional dimensions. The conventional

measurement method will use cubic metres (m3).

The quantity of matter anything has is proportional to its mass. Grams are the most used unit
of weight measurement because of their portability (g).
Q-9 What is the difference between verification and validation of a design?

A-9 In contrast to validation, which checks that the product as produced really works as intended,
verification is a purely theoretical process used to make sure that no criteria were overlooked during
the design phase. Verification is the process of checking to see whether the programme was created
in accordance with the specifications stated by the developer. The term "validation" refers to the
process of determining whether or not the delivered software (product) really satisfies the stated
requirements and expectations of the customer.

Q-10 What are the techniques for identifying and evaluating design options for Urban Roads?

A-10 - Area
- Volume
- Flow Rate
- Capacity

Q-11 What is the process for evaluating potential site hazards, risk assessment and management?

A-11 Locating possible threats.

Whom those dangers could affect is a key step.
Considering the potential danger and taking the necessary safety measures in response to it.
By putting in place checks and keeping track of your results.
Checking in on your evaluation and doing it again if needed.

Q-12 What is the process for design approval?

A-12 When a designer uses your web form to submit their work, a project manager will look it over and,
if everything seems OK, deliver it to the customer. Once the customer decides whether or not they
like the designer's work, an automatic email will be issued to the designer.

Q-13 Explain briefly:

1. Cultural & Heritage Management.
2. Environmental Management.
3. Geotechnical Management.
4. Quality Management.
5. Hydrological & Meteorological Management.
A-13 Students interested in working with primary sources in libraries, archives, and museums might
consider enrolling in the Cultural Heritage Information Management (CHIM) programme (AKA
memory institutions). Therefore, environmental management is concerned with describing and
monitoring environmental changes, forecasting future changes, and making efforts to maximise
human benefit while minimising environmental deterioration as a result of human activities. If
you're interested in the engineering properties of earth materials, you may want to check out
geotechnical engineering, a subfield of civil engineering. Management of quality is the process of
coordinating and directing the steps needed to achieve and sustain high standards. The majority of a
meteorologist's education will be spent in an Atmospheric Science programme. The major topics of
investigation for hydrologists are the circulation, distribution, and quality of water on our globe (but
could also be other planets).

Q-14 What is meant by System Close Outs?

A-14 Project closeout is the procedure through which a grantee proves that they have finished all grant-
related tasks and administrative requirements.

Q-15 What are performance review techniques?

A-15
The majority of workplaces utilise some kind of rating scale or grading system to evaluate
employees' performance.

Q-16 What are the requirements of an urban road design plan and their implementation techniques?

A-16 Each entity must operate in accordance with a set of laws and regulations. Lawful
conformity is the word for this structure.

Q-17 Describe the principles of road user behaviour.

A-17 1926.16 - Rules of construction.

Q-18 Briefly explain the following for urban roads:

- Capacity Requirements.
- Geometric Requirements.
- Surfacing Requirements.

A-18 Due to the greater amount of traffic, urban roads have higher capacity requirements than their rural
counterparts.

Since there is a greater amount of traffic and the need for more accurate guidance for cars in urban
areas, the geometric criteria for roads in these areas are often stricter than those in rural areas.

Standards for Road Surfaces Due to the larger amount of traffic and the necessity for a smoother
surface to ensure a pleasant ride for passengers, the surfacing requirements for urban roads are
often more strict than for rural roads.

Q-19 What is meant be statutory compliance?

A-19 The term "statutory compliance" is used to describe the adherence to laws that your company or
facility must maintain in order to remain in conformity with government regulations. These rules
often don't be updated very frequently.

Q-20 Briefly explain the principles and techniques for leading and coordinating teams?
A-20 Trust, clarity, alignment, commitment, responsibility, innovation, conflict resolution, and attaining
outcomes are the bedrock of high-performing teams.

Q-21 What are the WHS requirements when undergoing detailed design of Urban Roads?

A-21 The purpose of the Austroads Guide to Road Design is to provide designers a set of guidelines for
creating roads that prioritise economy, uniformity, and safety.

Identify relevant industry standards and discuss the compliance requirements to ensure your work is
following state regulations and standards.

Standards:
To ensure your work conforms with state regulations and standards, you should familiarise yourself with the relevant
industry standards and ensure you are compatible with them. You may learn more about the relevant industry standards
and the compliance requirements for each state on the websites of the aforementioned organisations.

Compliance Requirements:
The federal government, state authorities, and your industry standards body have all instituted regulations to make sure
jobs are done well and that the end product is up to par or better than expected quality. Manufacturers may be subject to
compliance regulations imposed by organisations that establish industry standards. You should take the time to learn more
about the rules that were employed in the manufacturing process so that you may avoid spending time and money trying to
address any defects with your completed product (like missing hardware on a door that needs you to contact customer
support).

Task 1.4:

Principles / Objectives of road design based on which the urban road will be designed.
There has to be careful consideration given to the goals of both new and current road projects in order to strike the optimal

the process of developing budget projections.
getting the design greenlit.
contributing to analyses of the effectiveness of the design process.
facilitation of design implementation by offering explanation and guidance to those working on the plan.
keeping track of blueprints and expenditures.
Checking the accuracy of designs.
Task 1.5:

Prior to designing of urban road, prepare a design management plan outlining the processes for the
process of design and implementation.

Design Processes Involved:

Public realm projects often include a landscape architect, engineer, or architect as the principal design consultant. The lead
designer is the person responsible for putting together the whole design team and overseeing the entire process while
working closely with the owner or customer. Landscape architects, architects, and civil engineers, as well as structural,
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers, and specialty design consultants like lighting, soils, horticulturists, water
feature specialists, brand and graphic design, and others, will be subcontracted by the lead design firm as needed for the
project and subject to the owner's approval.

The design team will next start the iterative process, which will include the use of bubble diagrams to describe the
programmatic linkages and adjacencies, followed by rough sketches, and finally, scaled drawings. During this recurrent
procedure, the level of specificity and depth of knowledge increases. Constant reviews and modifications by the design
team and owner, combined with periodic estimates of construction costs, will lead to even additional adjustments and
improvements.

The lead designer is responsible for coordinating with the other consultants and incorporating their own designs and
requirements into a unified whole. The "construction paperwork" bundle contains all the necessary information for
building. Contractors' bids for the construction of the project are solicited using these papers. I'll go into further depth
about the various stages of the design process later on, but for now, there are three main ones to keep in mind: the concept
design stage, the detailed design stage, and the construction stage.

Task 1.6:

Identify potential site hazards, constraints, and conditions and conduct a risk assessment for your project.

Task 2.2:
Based on the information and data gathered in task 1, Design the required and recommended Urban
Road.
Please note that you are required to provide the complete cross-sectional characteristics of the road to be
laid.
Data and information acquired in Step 1 indicate that the planned road should have a cross sectional width of
8m. The following are some suggested parameters for the planned road's cross section:

Guaranteeing the road is broad enough for cars to drive on safely necessitates a minimum width of 7.3 metres
and requires that the road be paved. It's not safe for cars to pass each other or for people to cross the street if the
sidewalk is too close. A shoulder width of 1 metre is recommended on both sides of the road to provide drivers a
place to safely pull over in the event of an accident or other emergency. Having a shoulder to pull over into in
the event of a car breakdown or other emergency is important for maintaining a steady flow of traffic. In order to
prevent cars from becoming stuck on the road, the grade can't be steeper than 8%. The road's gradient is
significant since it determines the maximum safe speed of cars on the route. Vehicle speed decreases as the
grade increases. The fuel efficiency of a vehicle is also impacted by the gradient. The greater the incline, the
greater the gasoline use. A vertical radius of at least 30 metres is required to guarantee the road's stability at
various elevations. The maximum allowable lateral road slope is 2.5%. Vehicles may lose control and flip over
on a side slope that is excessively steep, and rock falls and other dangers can also be exacerbated by this. Side
slopes with less drop-off are better for automobiles and safer for pedestrians since they provide less of a danger
of falling off. The maximum allowable roadside slope is 2.5%; any slope greater than this is deemed dangerous.
According to Indian Roads Congress guidelines, the planned road's cross sectional features have been designed
(IRC). As required by the Indian Roads Congress, the planned road cross section would have paved shoulders,
bike lanes, and walkways.
Task 2.3:
Prepare a cost estimate for implementing design of Urban Roads.

Material Volume:
Length of road = 90900 -80800 = 10100m
Total Width = Width of lanes + width of median+ width of shoulders + width of shoulder seal

Task 2.4:
Using the CAD technology, draw the urban road cross section.
Task 2.5:
Prepare a report by completing and compiling all the documentation involved in the road design and send
it to the stakeholders for review.
This report's goals are to (1) offer a comprehensive summary of the road design process and (2) collect all
relevant material for the road design process in one place. Members of the community will utilise the report to
critique the roadway layout.

The process of designing a road encompasses a wide range of factors and is notoriously difficult to do right.
Data collection on the current road system and the planned improvements is the first phase. Methods including
as surveys and aerial photography are useful for gathering this information. After data collection, analysis may
reveal how best to enhance the road system. The study takes into account things like the amount of traffic, the
types of vehicles on the road, the layout of the roads, and the weather. A road plan may be made after the study
is finished. Planning for the layout of lanes and traffic lights is included. The design must be examined by
relevant parties and adjusted if required after completion.

Once the information is gathered, it may be examined to find ways to enhance the road system. The study takes
into account things like the number of vehicles on the route, their types, the road's shape, and the weather. The
results of the study will be utilised to plan future upgrades to the transportation system. The traffic volume is the
average daily throughput of cars on a highway. Counting the number of cars on a route during a certain time
period, or gauging the rate of traffic flow, are only two examples of approaches to quantify the volume of traffic.
If we know how much traffic we can expect, we can plan how to expand and upgrade our roads accordingly.
Task 2.6:
Prepare a presentation containing the report using engineering graphical presentation techniques for
your meeting with the stake holders.

Task 3.2:
Review client and stakeholder feedbacks and perform design verification according to your workplace
requirements.

Feedback from Client:

Verifying that the design satisfies the user's requirements requires input from the client and other stakeholders.
For the sake of verifying that the design is suitable for use in the workplace, it is important to collect and record
comments from those affected by it.
During design verification, a product or system's conformance to specified specifications is checked. This
involves making sure the design satisfies the client's or stakeholder's demands and expectations as well as the
user's.
It's crucial to bear in mind that design verification is an ongoing procedure. As the items or system evolves, new
requirements may emerge. Therefore, the architecture has to be checked to ensure it still meets the requirements
of the user.
In conclusion, it is necessary to verify the design and collect feedback from clients and stakeholders in line with
company policy. Testing, simulations, and prototypes are just a few of the most typical approaches to validate a
design. The purpose of testing is to ensure that the developed product or system functions as intended and
satisfies the specified needs. Checking the system's behaviour in a variety of scenarios is possible with the use of
simulations. Form, fit, and functionality may all be tested for in a prototype.

What is Verification:
In fact, verification should be seen as an asset rather than a burden throughout the hiring process. It's a
wonderful resource for pre-employment screenings since it allows businesses to evaluate candidates'
groundwork and learn more about their honesty and integrity before ever meeting with them in person.

Why is it important:
The purpose of verification is to provide evidence of a fair market value for assets and obligations. For the
purpose of determining whether or not the financial statements accurately reflect the current financial position of
the company. To ascertain who really owns the property.

What are the steps involved in Design Verification:

Comparisons with other pieces of equipment doing the same function are one option. To represent functionality
mathematically in order to simulate its behaviour. Validation of the whole design to ensure it meets the user
requirements.
Task 3.3:
Complete and submit design including the cost and other reporting documents once all the feedbacks
have been reviewed and rectified.
Project design documents are comprehensive records of all project-related details. Timelines, budgets, and other
crucial information are all included. The project design document serves two purposes: it informs all parties
involved and helps them to maintain a common understanding of the project's specifics. Since it is an evolving
document, it is updated anytime the project's state changes.
The paper outlining the project's design should be made right away, at the start of the project. It's important to
keep checking in on the project and making adjustments as it progresses. Every interested party must sign off on
the project's blueprint before development can commence.
It is the project manager's responsibility to create the project's design document. However, it is important that all
interested parties work together on the project design document. The management of the project must make sure
that everyone who needs to be engaged is, and that their input is included in the final product.
The project design document should contain the following:
The Project's Goals

Extent of the Project

-Project Timeline

Project assumptions and potential dangers

-Project Deliverables

-Project financials

It is important that the project's design document be clear and concise. It must be simple and easy to
comprehend, without any complicated technical terms.
The project's design document is essential in several ways. It's worthy of all the focus that will be put on it.
Task 3.4:
Explain the recording / filing / storage system of the workplace. Confirm design records are filed
according to the workplace requirements.

Workplace recording, filing, and storage systems should be tailored to the tasks performed there. The following
is a common rule for filing design records.

As a first step, it's important to have one centralised repository for all design documentation.

Keep project-specific design documentation.

Design documents should be categorised within each project.

Dates should be used to better categorise each data type.

As a result of this setup, all design documentation should be easily accessible.

Workplace policy dictates the filing system used for design documentation.
Task 3.5:
Identify the authority responsible for granting approval to the designs. Gain approval for your designed
Urban Road.

Authorities Responsible for giving the Approval:

The designs need permission from the Department of Public Works.

Procedure to obtain the Approval:

Having your planned Rural Road approved requires you to submit design drawings to the Department of Public
Works.
Task 3.6:
Close out the systems as per your organizations policies.
 Task – 4: Support and review the application of the design of urban roads

Tasks:
4.1 Plan for a site visit when urban road design is being implemented. Provide clarification and
advice to the site personnel regarding your designs as required to meet job requirements.
During your site visit, the site supervisor highlighted some issues on which you will be providing
clarification and advice. For Example:
“While excavation, some spots had big boulder of rocks. Removing those would cause additional
excavated depth”.

4.2 Review the application of the design and recommend changes for continuous improvement for
future references and record them as per your organizational procedure.

4.3 Perform validation for the design of Urban Roads to meet job requirements.

4.4 Ensure all work on site is being commenced as per compliance.

Task 4.1:
Plan for a site visit when urban road design is being implemented. Provide clarification and advice to the
site personnel regarding your designs as required to meet job requirements.
During your site visit, the site supervisor highlighted some issues on which you will be providing
clarification and advice.

You are to provide recommendations for the issues on site.

Role Play Scenario:

I would first be interested in learning about the local soil conditions. When digging, I anticipate seeing stones if the earth
is really rough. I'd want to remind everyone working on site to double check their calculations and make sure they're
factoring in the presence of boulders in accordance with the design criteria for excavation depth.

I'm also curious as to whether or if the on-site staff has spotted any trouble spots. I'd suggest they keep me in the loop on
any issues they're facing so we can troubleshoot as a team. Similarly, I would want to hear whether they have any issues
with the project's blueprint or execution. To put their minds at ease, I'd want to let them know that I'm here to help with
everything they need and that I care deeply about the outcome of the project.
Task 4.2:
Review the application of the design and recommend changes for continuous improvement for future
references and record them as per your organizational procedure.

Task 4.3:
Perform validation for the design of Urban Roads to meet job requirements.

What is Validation:
The term "validation" refers to the process of collecting and analysing data to prove that a technique, process, or
activity carried out during testing and later during production continues to adhere to standards.

Why is it important:

In order to ensure that the product you've created really serves its intended purpose, you need put it through a
process called design validation. Specifically, the FDA defines design validation as "proving through objective
evidence that device specifications fit with user demands and intended use" (21 CFR 820.3). (s).

What are the steps involved in Design Validation:

Using comparable machinery serving the same function as a standard of comparison. To represent functionality
mathematically in order to simulate its behaviour. Validation of the whole design to ensure it meets the user
requirements.
Task 4.4:
Ensure all work on site is being commenced as per compliance.
It's important to keep up with the ever-evolving rules and regulations. Your company does not automatically exist as
compliant.
Get the help of experts. It's not uncommon for businesses, especially newer ones, to inadvertently contravene the law.
Be sure everyone is following the correct protocol.
Conduct internal audits on a regular basis.
Make sure you're using the appropriate programme.
