Pasantía: apoyo técnico y acompañamiento en la oficina asesora de planeación y obras públicas del municipio de Barbosa, Santander.

Abstract

In the field of Civil Engineering, there is a great variety of knowledge that can be applied in different areas of a government entity. For this reason, the purpose of this internship report is to describe the activities carried out during the professional internship period carried out at the Mayor's Office of Barbosa, Santander, specifically at the Planning and Public Works Advisory Office, where functions were carried out to support said dependency, contributing contributions to the body, in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the institution. Among the activities carried out, the requests regarding public or private eye inspections, required by the community, whose visits are framed in a pilot test, were managed. Likewise, a series of verifications of compliance with construction licenses were carried out in different sectors of the municipality, where civil works are carried out. Another relevant activity is the monitoring of the urban road paving contract, the scope of which is the construction of rigid pavement in a total length of approximately 317.53 linear meters. With respect to two of the activities carried out, contributions are made using the participant observation and the checklist, for a pilot test that consisted of fourteen (14) properties belonging to the Jardín Neighborhood. Among the most significant results, deterioration due to age and lack of a structural system was observed, causing multiple fissures and cracks in the construction. Similarly, the lack of approved or possible construction licenses is notable. In other words, it is necessary to update the construction licenses to the sector, also contributing to the community the possible improvements to be made on their properties, and thus comply with both earthquake resistant standards and the entity's requirements.
