Practica Empresarial como Auxiliar de Ingeniero Residente en el Consorcio Vías Colombia 055 en el Proyecto de la Pavimentación y Rehabilitación del Corredor Vial Villagarzón – San José del Fragua, Tramo PR 3+000 al PR 7+000 en el Departamento del Putumayo.

Abstract

During the professional internship in the paving, improvement, and road maintenance project for the Villagarzón–San José del Fragua corridor, carried out by Consorcio Vías Colombia 055, activities were carried out aimed at strengthening technical and construction control of the work. This project is fundamental for connectivity and economic development in the south of the country, especially in the Amazon region. The methodology applied was based on constant supervision of construction activities, quality control of materials, and monitoring of the execution schedule. Support was provided in the preparation of daily and technical reports, consolidating accurate information on performance, progress, and quantities of work. To optimize the design and verification processes, digital tools such as Autodesk Civil 3D were implemented, facilitating volume calculations, three-dimensional modeling of the road corridor, and the design of cross-drainage works. Among the main results obtained, technical control stands out, where field and laboratory tests were carried out on aggregates and concrete, such as granulometry, Los Angeles machine, compressive strength, and slump test, guaranteeing the quality and durability of the hydraulic concrete used. In addition, detailed control of physical progress was carried out through daily reports and monitoring of the general schedule, which allowed for support of the cost area and maintained efficient communication with the supervisory team. In terms of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), training sessions, preventive talks, and inspection tours were conducted to ensure the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and compliance with safety standards. These actions contributed to the prevention of incidents and the promotion of a safe working environment during the various construction phases. Quantities were calculated by developing a digital terrain model and geometric design of the road corridor in Autodesk Civil 3D, a tool that provided accurate cut and fill volumes, as well as the cross-sections and longitudinal sections needed for planning construction activities. This methodology ensured consistency between the projected design and the actual terrain conditions, optimizing material management, progress control, and resource estimation accuracy within the road project. Overall, the activities carried out during the internship strengthened professional skills in supervision, quality control, digital modeling, and construction management, contributing to the efficient, safe, and sustainable development of the road infrastructure executed by Consorcio Vías Colombia 055.
