Apoyo profesional en el área de supervisión de obras e actualización de válvulas en empresas públicas de Garagoa S.A E.S.P.

Abstract

Performing a professional practice allows the student to develop skills and competencies in a specific job, where the theory learned during the training process as a civil engineer is applied. For this reason, during the professional practice, the purpose of the internship was the development of the intern's responsibilities in the works assigned in Empresas Públicas de Garagoa S.A E.S.P, which are framed towards the disciplinary area of water resources. During the professional practice the mixed methodology was applied, since quantitative and qualitative data were involved in the activities, which allowed to focus and perform during the professional practice the update and inventory of valves in the distribution network of the aqueduct of the municipality of Garagoa, and other activities focused on the strengthening of knowledge. The contributions that were given thanks to the professional practice in this company were matrices and plans, where there is a relation and location of the inventory of cut-off, purge and pressure reducing valves, installed in the distribution network of the aqueduct. Likewise, the number of users affected by the supply of drinking water due to the closure of the shut-off valves in the distribution network was determined based on the nomenclature of the addresses of the users. Finally, the knowledge acquired in the training process was strengthened, not only oriented to water resources, but also involving other areas of knowledge.
