Desarrollo de Actividades de Apoyo Técnico en Proyectos de Ingeniería Civil y Portuaria – Pasantía en Alvarado & Düring S.A.S

Abstract

This internship was carried out at ALVARADO & DURING S.A.S., a company with extensive experience in civil and port engineering, during the period from August to December 2025, at its corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia. The main objective was to provide technical support to the engineering department through office-based activities focused on the design, planning, and analysis of roadway, maritime, and port infrastructure projects, contributing to the strengthening of the company’s technical and organizational processes.

The methodology was based on the application of civil engineering tools, digital modeling, and technical analysis using specialized software such as Civil 3D, Slide, and Geo5, supported by collaborative information management systems. Activities included the preparation and enhancement of technical drawings, quantity take-offs, three-dimensional modeling, stability analyses, development of construction procedures, and support in consultancy studies and bidding proposals. The results showed a positive institutional, economic, sociocultural, and environmental impact, reflected in improved operational efficiency, better technical decision-making, and indirect contributions to urban mobility, tourism development, and port infrastructure. The internship demonstrated strong relevance by integrating academic knowledge with professional practice, enhancing technical competencies and generating added value for both the company and the broader community.
