Práctica Empresarial Como Auxiliar Residente En La Supervisión Y Control De Obra De Las Estructuras Del Acueducto Municipal De Pamplona En La Empresa Empopamplona S.A. E.S.P.

Abstract

Access to potable water remains a challenge for rural communities, making the rehabilitation of the Pamplona municipality's aqueduct system a priority intervention given the damage caused by the rainy season and the declaration of a state of public emergency. This business practice was carried out in the García district in support of EMPOPAMPLONA S.A. E.S.P., with the aim of contributing to the supervision and technical control of water intake, conveyance, and hydraulic structure construction activities. The methodology was based on the collection and analysis of technical and contractual information; monitoring the schedule through measurements, records, and comparison between planned and executed work; direct supervision of excavations, HDPE pipe installation, and intake and desilting works; and quality control of materials along with verification of the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment. Key results included the updating and organization of project documentation, the identification of discrepancies between the design and the actual topography that necessitated reestablishment and technical adjustments, the determination of actual construction productivity, and the verification of compliance with construction specifications across different work fronts. Furthermore, field safety practices were strengthened, and operational recommendations were generated to improve execution efficiency. Overall, the project's development allowed for the application of civil engineering knowledge in a real-world construction context, contributing to the safe and technical progress of the aqueduct system rehabilitation and improving the water supply for the beneficiary community.
