informe final practica empresarial en la empresa infraestructura y vias sas

Abstract

The final internship report presents the professional experience carried out at Infraestructura y Vías S.A.S., focusing on construction project supervision, contract management, and technical-financial analysis in the field of public contracting. The internship enabled the practical application of civil engineering knowledge through key activities such as quantity surveying, preparation of Unit Price Analyses (APUs), tender submissions, and project execution supervision. On the technical side, structural calculations of concrete and steel were conducted for projects like the UISalud administrative block and the Pradera 45 country house in Ruitoque Park, using design and project management tools. Participation in public contracting processes included financial analysis, legal and technical compliance reviews, and residual capacity calculations to strengthen bidding strategies. The field experience included overseeing the construction of gabion retaining walls for the vehicular bridge in Caño Doradas village, enhancing theoretical learning with hands-on practice. A SWOT analysis highlighted strengths in technical training, multidisciplinary teamwork, and the use of modern tools, while identifying employment opportunities in the construction sector. Challenges such as the lack of initial experience and the need for more comprehensive onboarding for interns were also noted. The conclusions emphasize that civil engineering goes beyond calculations and design, demanding integrated management, social awareness, and ethical commitment in public infrastructure development. The internship strengthened key technical and strategic skills necessary for professional practice, offering a comprehensive view of the civil engineer as a bridge between regulations, technical execution, and social realities. This document reflects not only a formative process, but also a tangible contribution to the company through effective project management and execution.
