 ABSTRACT

This abstract summarizes a twoweek internship experience at a

construction site. The primary focus of the Internship was to gain
practical insights into the diverse operations and activities within a
construction environment. The objectives included observing safety
protocols, understanding project management, and learning about the
roles and coordination among various construction teams.
This project focuses on the construction of a residential building,
highlighting key structural activities such as staircase casting and
column extension. The project involves the application of fundamental
civil engineering principles in the planning, design, and execution
phases. The staircase casting process ensures the creation of safe and
durable access between floors, while the column extension is crucial
for transferring loads from the upper floors to the foundation,
maintaining the buildings structural integrity. Throughout the project,
stringent quality control measures are implemented to meet safety
standards and design specifications. The successful completion of
these activities marks significant progress in the overall construction,
contributing to the realization of a well-structured and functional
residential building.
During this training period, I acquired practical skills and knowledge
in my field. I started communication with the site engineers and also
with the site workers. I learned about how to execute work in the
field. I was able to find some queries carried out in the field by using
the different layout plans and drawing.
During this Internship period, my skills increased and I gained more
experience in the construction period which will be very helpful for
me in the future.

CHAPTER: 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose of Internship:

 The purpose of my internship was to gain hands-on experience in the field of
industrial construction, particularly in understanding Staircase casting, Column
extension and site management.
 As a student pursuing civil engineering, I aimed to enhance my practical
knowledge of construction techniques, observe project workflows, and improve
my ability to interpret technical drawings and manage on-site tasks.
 It helped me learn how to plan work effectively, coordinating with different teams
to ensure tasks are implemented efficiently and the project is completed on time.
 This experience was intended to help me develop the professional skills needed
for a future career in the construction industry.

1.2 Organization Overview:

 During my internship, I was involved in the construction of an Amaira
Appartment, where I gained firsthand experience in foundational work,
reinforcement activities, and column construction.
 The company’s well-organized site management and focus on quality made it a
great place to learn.
 During my 2-week internship, I observed the essential tasks required to keep a
complex construction project running smoothly. However, the project faced
challenges due to rainfall.

 It is dogleg type staircase.

Fig. 3.2: Shuttering Work of Stairs

 Shuttering, also known as formwork, is a process of providing support to wet
concrete until it sets and attains adequate strength to carry its self-weight.
 Essentially, the process involves creating temporary moulds of wood or steel in
which the concrete will be poured. Once the concrete sets and hardens, the
formwork may be removed.

• Standard mix used for stairs are 3 parts cement, 2 parts sand, 4 parts
gravel and water. It is recommended to use a concrete vibrator while
pouring the concrete to completely fill the gaps of the stairs and to avoid
the honeycomb formation

 To mix concrete on site, follow these steps
 Prepare your work area: Choose a level, solid ground for
stability during the cement mixing process.
 Measure your ingredients: Accurate measurements are
essential for sturdy concrete.
 Combine your ingredients: For pre-mixed bags, follow
the instructions on the bag.
 Check your mix: Ensure the consistency is right.
 Get started: Mix thoroughly.

CHAPTER:4 Beam Work

Fig. 4.1: beam frame work placing

 When it comes to constructing beams, one crucial aspect that demands attention
is the installation of Beam Formwork. The process of installing beam formwork
requires careful planning and execution to ensure the structural integrity and
stability of the beams.

 Reinforcement are essential part of a concrete beam. It resists tension forces,

increase the compression capacity, enhance ductility and reduce long-term
deflections in the concrete. Additionally, reinforcement prevent cracking of
concrete due to shear stresses, shrinkage and temperature stresses.

 It is a horizontal member of the scaffold that connects the vertical standards

and provides support for the scaffold platform. The Cuplock ledger has a
unique design that allows it to be easily connected to the vertical standards
using a cup-shaped socket, which gives the system its name.

Fig. 6.2: Placement of Reinforcement in Columns

 Reinforcement bars are placed inside the formwork to ensure the extended
columns can bear additional loads. Bars of size 20 mm are used, spaced at 100
mm intervals.
 Reinforcement placement in columns is critical for ensuring the structural
integrity and load-carrying capacity of buildings. Columns are vertical
structural elements that transfer loads from beams and slabs to the
foundation.

 Proper reinforcement placement ensures structural safety and prevents

column failure, structural collapse, and damage from seismic activity.

CHAPTER: 7 MATERIALS USED ON SITE

7.1 RCC Cover Block

Fig. 7.1: Cover Block

 A cover block is basically a spacer that is used to lift the rebar matrix off the
ground so that concrete may flow underneath the rebar. In order to
prevent corrosion of the rebar, it requires to be fully embedded in concrete.

 It usually requires about 2 to 3 inches of coverage on all sides. Hence the

cover block lifts the rebar up by about 2 to 3 inches and becomes a permanent
and integral part of the poured concrete, assure that no part of the rebar sags
and minimizes that required concrete coverage during the pour.

CONCLUSION

 During my two-week internship at the construction site of Amaira Apartment., I

gained valuable hands-on experience in various aspects of commercial building. I
observed and participated in critical activities such as Staircase casting,
reinforcement cutting and bending, and column extensions. These tasks allowed
me to understand the importance of accuracy, coordination, and efficiency in
large-scale construction projects.
 This internship provided me with a deeper understanding of the complexities
involved in managing a construction site. I learned how engineers and site
managers must collaborate with different teams, from labourers to suppliers, to
ensure the smooth progression of the project.
