Elements

Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to design external above ground waterproofing systems for buildings and structures. The unit applies to Class 1 and 10 Buildings, and Class 2 to 9 Buildings. The unit includes planning and preparing to design waterproofing, analysing risk, designing waterproofing systems, and evaluating the design of the waterproofing system solution. The unit is suitable for builders, building designers, architects, building surveyors, waterproofing design specialists and consultants, engineers and other design specialists. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Relevant work health and safety (WHS) state and territory regulatory authorities should be consulted to confirm jurisdictional requirements.

Elements & Learning Outcomes

E1Plan and prepare.

0398.E1.O1Identify above ground areas to be waterproofed and determine external site conditions, waterproofing brief, challenges, waterproofing system design requirements, including finishes in consultation with stakeholder needs and drawings and specifications.

0398.E1.O2Assess types of construction and their permeability to water and moisture, including concrete, masonry and framing to be managed and identify potential water ingress points for the construction.

0398.E1.O3Identify site conditions, including wind speed, climate zone, water catchment area, and outfalls and overflow effects to adjoining buildings and occupancies below.

0398.E1.O4Analyse areas impacted by waterproofing system failure for their intended use.

0398.E1.O5Determine the management of surface water movement to a drainage point and sub-surface water materials by capillarity.

E2Carry out risk analysis.

0398.E2.O1Assess risks to external wet areas for the purposes of providing designed systems, including service conditions, wind speed, climate zone, water catchment area, and outfall capacities and overflow effects.

0398.E2.O2Assess risk of interstitial condensation within building elements as part of design.

0398.E2.O3Determine ultraviolet (UV) exposure of materials and membranes.

0398.E2.O4Determine effects of water and moisture on building elements.

0398.E2.O5Assess consequence of defects in the waterproofing systems on identified impacted areas.

0398.E2.O6Assess external wet area for provision of the proposed design of waterproofing.

E3Carry out waterproofing design.

0398.E3.O1Identify structural requirements, including wind speeds and climate zone, and the effects on the building envelope and waterproofing systems.

0398.E3.O2Develop design requirements for level of risk to moisture and water exposure.

0398.E3.O3Identify above ground waterproofing systems available to suit the design that are appropriate for the conditions.

0398.E3.O4Analyse and select waterproofing systems suitable for and compatible with site conditions and substrate.

0398.E3.O5Provide a scope for the installation of the waterproofing system, including substrate considerations and compatibility with finishes, in accordance with principal design, stakeholder needs, compliance with relevant regulations, National Construction Code (NCC) performance requirements, Australian Standards, work health and safety (WHS), environmental requirements, manufacturers’ specifications, an

0398.E3.O6Provide quality assurance inspection protocols for waterproofing system installation, including substrate assessment for suitability, compliance of membrane installation with manufacturers’ specifications, completion inspection processes, and repair and maintenance plan.

E4Evaluate waterproofing design.

0398.E4.O1Assess effectiveness of waterproofing system design for suitability with site conditions and consequential affects where water bears at the maximum designed level, risk of moisture and condensation is present, defects are present in the waterproofing system and defects impact the usage of adjoining areas.

0398.E4.O2Review repair and maintenance plan of waterproofing system.

0398.E4.O3Record and report on compliant waterproofing design solutions to stakeholders in accordance with service conditions and manufacturers’ specifications, Australian Standards, and NCC performance requirements.
