Práctica Empresarial Como Auxiliar de Ingeniería Civil Para el Fortalecimiento de los Procesos Técnicos y Administrativos en la Secretaría de Infraestructura y Obras del Municipio de La Jagua de Ibirico, Cesar.

Abstract

During the professional internship carried out at the Secretariat of Infrastructure and Public Works of the municipality of La Jagua de Ibirico, various activities were conducted to strengthen the monitoring and control processes of public infrastructure projects. The entity faces challenges related to on-site supervision, preliminary budget review, and proper control of the materials used, highlighting the need for technical support to optimize institutional management. In response to these needs, technical inspections of civil works were performed, physical progress was monitored using tools such as Microsoft Project, and the entry and quality of materials were verified. Additionally, preliminary evaluations of contractor-submitted budgets were conducted, along with the preparation of reports and records to document project progress. These activities were organized into four methodological phases: on-site technical monitoring, budget review, materials control, and verification of completed activities. The results include weekly reports supported by photographic records, measurements, and direct observations, which allowed the documentation of the actual performance of the projects. In the case of the Nuevo Amanecer neighborhood, cumulative delays of 11.19% were identified, associated with climatic and operational conditions. In materials control, it was confirmed that the embankment met technical requirements, while the granular sub-base presented a CBR of 16%, below the minimum standard. Additionally, budgets for projects such as the tennis court and the maintenance of the main church were analyzed, verifying quantities, unit price analyses (APU), and technical consistency.
