RIIUND310E Apply shotcrete underground RTO Training Materials

Built Around Real Workplace Contexts

The Standards for RTOs require training and assessment to reflect genuine workplace conditions, current industry practices and the expectations learners will encounter on site. For underground shotcrete work, this means connecting learning with authentic workplace practice, including ground support procedures, hazard controls, equipment operation and production requirements.

Our RIIUND310E training materials help trainers connect learning with genuine workplace activities such as reviewing work instructions, inspecting underground work areas, preparing and operating shotcrete equipment, monitoring application quality, communicating with the work team and completing required records. Activities can be adapted to reflect the learner’s mine or tunnelling environment.

Underground Metalliferous Mines

In underground metalliferous mines, shotcrete is commonly applied to support excavations, backs, walls and other areas where ground conditions require stabilisation. Training can focus on accessing the work area, identifying ground support requirements, managing hose and nozzle operations, controlling rebound and checking the finished application.

RIIUND310E RTO training materials help trainers contextualise learning and assessment around site-specific ground support plans, exclusion zones, ventilation controls, mix specifications, equipment checks and shift documentation used in metalliferous mining operations.

Underground Coal Mines

Coal mining environments require shotcrete activities to be completed within tightly controlled operating, ventilation and dust management arrangements. Learners can practise interpreting instructions, preparing the work area, coordinating with other crews, applying shotcrete safely and identifying defects or conditions that require further action.

Using RIIUND310E training resources, trainers can align activities with coal mine procedures, permit systems, communication protocols, inspection requirements and quality records, while reinforcing the importance of following site controls before, during and after application.

Tunnelling and Underground Civil Construction

In tunnelling and underground civil construction, shotcrete may be used as part of sequential excavation, temporary support, permanent lining or localised ground stabilisation. Learners need to respond to changing ground conditions, coordinate with plant and ground support crews, and achieve the required thickness, coverage and finish.

RIIUND310E learning materials support contextualised delivery through tunnel-based scenarios involving pre-start checks, work area inspections, nozzle technique, concrete or shotcrete quality requirements, application records, clean-up and reporting of hazards or non-conforming work.

Any Delivery Mode

The editable RTO resources support classroom delivery, workplace delivery, blended learning and online delivery. Trainers can contextualise learning activities, examples and assessments for their learner cohort, equipment, site procedures and the underground work environments in which training is being delivered.
