Abstract

During the internship carried out at ORBEING S.A.S company, with an approximate duration of 600 hours, between February 7, 2023, and May 13, 2023, the student successfully performed the role of assistant in road works inspection in the municipality of Tunja. The main purpose of this internship was to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the execution of the city's road network improvement project. To achieve this goal, various specific activities were conducted, such as the preparation of neighborhood reports, traffic management plans, support in industrial safety and occupational health, as well as traffic volume surveys.

The methodology employed was based on practice, which involved applying previously acquired knowledge from university to real-life situations during the course of the internship. This strategy allowed for interactive learning and constant feedback to improve performance. The results obtained were highly significant. In total, 331 neighborhood reports were prepared, representing a 3.14% increase compared to previous months. Additionally, 27 traffic management plans were developed, resulting in a savings of 108 working hours. Furthermore, support was provided in industrial safety and occupational health, achieving a 100% compliance rate regarding the proper use of personal protective equipment by the workers. Finally, the information obtained from the traffic volume surveys was used to enhance efficiency in the design of road works.
