Práctica Profesional Como Auxiliar de Ingeniería en el Contrato de Obra Para la Infraestructura de Operación de la Unidad Funcional 6 Proyecto Santana-Mocoa-Neiva, Ejecutado Por la Empresa O&M Ingeniería Cía. Ltda.

Abstract

This document corresponds to the degree project developed under the professional internship program at O&M Ingeniería Cía. Ltda. as a requirement for obtaining a degree in Civil Engineering. These internships were carried out as part of the construction contract for the operational infrastructure of Functional Unit 6 of the Santana-Mocoa-Neiva Road project. The activities were carried out in an organized manner in different phases. In the first phase, the technical information provided, such as architectural and structural plans, calculation reports, and technical specifications, was compiled and reviewed. Based on this information, it was possible to anticipate possible delays and optimize planning. In addition, a general budget was prepared in Excel for cost estimation, and laboratory tests were carried out, including field density testing (sand cone test), in order to verify the density of the material installed on the project. In the second phase, an automated construction log was implemented in Excel, a tool that allowed for continuous technical recording of the construction processes. Daily activities, weather conditions, personnel, tools used, materials entering and leaving the site, as well as relevant observations were recorded. At the same time, biweekly progress reports were prepared, recording the overall progress of the work, the activities carried out, the schedule for future work, and a photographic record. In the third phase, a technical record of estimated and used quantities of work and materials was made available, based on precise calculations that demonstrate resource optimization and waste reduction, in compliance with Colombian regulations applicable to the control of civil works materials. Finally, in the fourth phase, the plans and specifications were reviewed, and accurate and complete digital modeling was developed in AutoCAD Civil 3D for the section of the road in 13

which we participated as engineering assistants. Modeling was also carried out in AutoCAD Civil 3D for the weighing area located in functional unit 6 of the project, which reflects the terrain conditions, the geometric characteristics of the road design, and the defined construction processes of the project.
