This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to apply and finish pre-mixed concrete using wet and dry spraying methods. Sprayed concrete has application where conventional concreting methods cannot be used such as for barrel vaulting, caissons, canal linings, diaphragm walls, drainage channels, irrigation systems, piled wall facings, reservoirs, shell roofs and domes, silo structures, tunnel linings, walls and water towers. The unit does not cover the application of sprayed concrete to shape and finish swimming pool and spa shells.

A person who has achieved this unit of competency would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing work tasks with a high degree of self-direction.
