Drain and Dewater Civil Construction Sites

This nationally recognised unit, RIIWMG203E Drain and dewater civil construction sites, provides the skills and knowledge required to safely drain and dewater civil construction sites.

This unit may be completed as a standalone course or combined with other selected civil construction units.

Training covers planning and preparing for drainage and dewatering activities, establishing sedimentation controls, removing surface water, constructing sumps, using surface or submersible pumps and completing site clean-up activities.

Course Delivery

Training is delivered through a combination of:

• prescribed pre-course learning
• trainer-led face-to-face training and practical activities
• practical training using relevant drainage and dewatering equipment
• theory and practical assessment

Pre-course learning is completed before attending the practical training component and prepares learners for the face-to-face training and assessment activities.

Assessment

Assessment includes knowledge questions and practical demonstration of drainage and dewatering activities. Learners are required to demonstrate the required skills on at least two occasions, including the use of pumps, sedimentation controls and surface drainage methods.

Outcome

On successful completion, learners receive a Statement of Attainment (SOA) for RIIWMG203E Drain and dewater civil construction sites.
