Apoyo Técnico a la Secretaría de Infraestructura Pública de la Gobernación de Boyacá en la Dirección Técnica de Estudios y Diseños

Abstract

This report outlines the experiences and results of an internship conducted between February and June 2026 at the Department of Public Infrastructure of the Government of Boyacá, specifically within the Technical Directorate of Studies and Designs. The primary objective of the internship was to provide technical support to the department's professionals across various work areas: preliminary review of project documentation, organization and consolidation of technical data, analysis of traffic studies, preparation of hydrological and hydraulic assessments, participation in field visits, and the development of structural components and digital models using BIM methodology.

The work involved reviewing and analyzing technical documents, processing field-collected data, contributing to traffic and hydraulic reports, and modeling drainage structures—such as box culverts, pipe culverts, manholes, and storm drains—using Autodesk Revit. A key deliverable was the creation of a BIM methodological guide documenting the entire modeling process for a 2.0m x 2.0m, 10-meter-long box culvert, covering everything from geometry to material quantification. In terms of professional development, the internship helped consolidate skills ranging from technical project analysis and digital information management to construction modeling and the critical review of specialized studies. The contributions made to the organization extend beyond the specific tasks performed; they include a replicable methodological framework for future modeling and documentation processes regarding minor hydraulic structures.
