AHCIRG301 — Install gravity fed irrigation systems

1 Organise resources for installation work

• 1.1Interpret plan, including identifying potential hazards and risks and implementing safe working practices to manage risks
• 1.2Select and use required materials, tools equipment and machinery and check for safe operations
• 1.3Select, fit, use and maintain safety and personal protective equipment applicable to the task
• 1.4Check water supply is compatible with system specifications

2 Set out and prepare site

• 2.1Measure and mark out structures and peg earthworks
• 2.2Prepare and maintain beds, diversion and conveyancing structures
• 2.3Install diversion and conveyancing structures, channels and beds
• 2.4Prepare bed surface using roto-buck
• 2.5Test structures for configuration, flow rates and capacity

3 Complete water measurement and tail-water works

• 3.1Install water measurement structures
• 3.2Install channels and tail water storages
• 3.3Install pumping equipment, lines and filters
• 3.4Confirm that the system configuration and capacity matches the installation plan
• 3.5Complete earthworks and structures according to plan

4 Operate pumps and siphons

• 4.1Prime pumps and open or close valves and controls
• 4.2Position and set up pipes, system equipment and outlets
• 4.3Prime and start siphons and other delivery mechanisms
• 4.4Implement start up sequence and slowly build up water levels and pressure
• 4.5Check pressure at the head-works and control valves
• 4.6Distribute water evenly to the targeted areas with minimal wastage and run-off
• 4.7Irrigate area and observe time lag between shut down and end of watering to minimise run-off and deep percolation

5 Measure and interpret water levels, flow rates and volume of water used

• 5.1Monitor and maintain head water levels
• 5.2Confirm that all water outlets are operating correctly
• 5.3Replace or clear blocked inlets and outlets
• 5.4Measure and record flow rates and water usage
• 5.5Implement irrigation changes as required

What does an assessment tool for AHCIRG301 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCIRG301 needs to address all 53 unit components: 5 elements with 26 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 8 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AHCIRG301?

Auditori pulls the current release of AHCIRG301 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for AHCIRG301 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AHCIRG301 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of AHCIRG301, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
