Practica Empresarial Como Auxiliar De Ingeniería Civil En La Oficina De Estudios Y Diseños En La Empresa Aguas Kpital S.A. E.S.P En La Ciudad De Cúcuta, Norte De Santander.

Abstract

. This thesis was developed based on the business internship carried out at Aguas Kpital Cúcuta S.A. E.S.P., which involved reviewing and verifying water and sewerage projects in different sectors of the municipality. During the internship, tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), AutoCAD, EPANET, and EPA SWMM were integrated to consolidate technical information, adjust layouts, prepare plans, and evaluate the hydraulic performance of the projected networks, verifying compliance with the parameters established by current regulations. In addition, a three-dimensional analysis was performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in OpenFOAM, applied to an inspection well with the greatest difference in levels identified. The simulation allowed for the examination of the distribution of velocities, pressures, and turbulence, and highlighted the need to implement drop chambers when elevation differences exceed regulatory limits, in order to avoid direct impacts and improve the hydraulic stability of the structure. The results obtained highlight the usefulness of integrating digital tools into design and technical review processes, as they facilitate the detection of inconsistencies and strengthen decision-making in construction planning. Likewise, business practices contributed to the progressive improvement of basic sanitation networks, supporting the optimization of projects that directly impact the quality of life of the communities involved.
