Issue Date: July 2024
This unit applies to filling, sanding, fairing and grinding practices to achieve uniform or correct contours and surfaces, typically on marine vessels and other transport vehicles.
Work would be undertaken autonomously and to predetermined standards of quality and safety, and to standard operational procedures.
Typical construction materials may include timber, fibre-reinforced materials and metal materials of new and pre-coated surface area. A variety of fillers and abrasive materials of different grades would be used to suit job application.
A selection of hand and power tools may include electric or pneumatic disc, orbital and belt sanders, 'torture-boards', straight and angle grinders. Die grinders may be used for certain applications but should not be used as the sole tool for assessment purposes.
Where slipping is required, or when working on a slipped craft, Unit MEM25014B (Perform marine slipping operations) should also be selected.
Relevant units related to specific applications and materials should also be selected as required.
