National Certificate in Civil Construction Works (Horizontal Directional Drilling) with strands in Driller, Tracker, and Site Supervisor
Level / 3Credits / 50
Purpose
People awarded with this qualification are, depending on the strand or strands chosen, able to carry out horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations as a driller, tracker, and/or site supervisor. To support these roles people will have demonstrated knowledge in health, safety, and environmental legislation at civil infrastructure sites and in strike avoidance and strike response related to HDD and will be able to prepare for HDD operations, restore the site afterwards, and carry out bore exit and pipe entry tasks.
HDD site supervisors usually have experience as HDD trackers and so people pursuing the qualification with the Site Supervisor strand may also wish to achieve the qualification with the Tracker strand.
The elective section allows for candidates to demonstrate further knowledge and skills suited to their particular work situation.
This qualification may follow on from the National Certificate in Civil Infrastructure (General Introductory Skills) [Ref:1125]. People who complete the Site Supervisor strand may wish to progress to the National Certificate in Civil Plant Management [Ref:0234], the National Certificate in Civil Construction Supervision (Level4) [Ref:1324], the National Certificate in Business (First Line Management) (Level3) [Ref:0743], or the National Certificate in Business (First Line Management) (Level4) [Ref:0649], or any of their replacements.
Replacement Information
This qualification replaced the National Certificate in Civil Construction Works (Horizontal Directional Drilling) with strands in Driller and Tracker [Ref:1081] and the National Certificate in Civil Construction Works (Horizontal Directional Drilling Site Controller) [Ref:1082].
