Apoyo Técnico en la Supervisón de Obras Viales en la Secretaría de Infraestructura de la Alcaldía de Sogamoso

Abstract

This report aims to describe the activities carried out during the internship at the Infrastructure Department of the Sogamoso Mayor's Office, specifically in the area of supervision, control, and documentation of road maintenance and urban improvement projects. The internship involved characterizing the road infrastructure using ArcGIS Pro software, collecting, analyzing, and organizing geospatial information. This contributed to identifying the condition of the roads and informing the decision-making process for their repair. The intern also assisted in monitoring agreements with Community Action Boards (JACs) for road improvements, contributing to the oversight of completed activities and strengthening the relationship between the community and the municipal administration.

During the internship, I provided technical support in monitoring construction activities in the field, such as excavation, shaping and leveling of granular material, compaction processes, curb installation, and drainage cleaning, as well as quality control of the work performed. I also provided technical support for the road patching projects studied, to ensure their recovery and availability to the community. I also participated in the preparation of photographic records and the organization of the technical documentation required for monitoring and tracking project progress. The execution of these activities allowed me to apply the knowledge acquired during my academic training, as well as strengthen my skills in construction supervision, interpretation of construction processes, use of technological tools, and teamwork. Furthermore, the experience contributed to the development of technical criteria for decision-making and the proper monitoring of infrastructure projects.
