Any problems encountered and solutions found:

 Identification of weather pattern in the early stage of the project will help in

prepare accurate time schedules for the project work that might be affected due to bad weather. The planer will be able to identify and sequence the activities accurately. Also daily or weekly planning can be carried out according to the weather pattern. For example finishing work and plastering work of a building project can be carried out in rainy days while excavations work can be carried out during dry periods.

 To prevent frequent or late changes at critical stages of design and construction,

all parties involved must know what’s going on with each phase of the project. With thousands of documents and pieces of correspondence that flow between participants, it’s easy to have misunderstandings and errors. One way to keep track of everything is by having a collaborative information management system that everyone involved has access to.

 Ensure the document is easily understood and all points are clear. Once the

contract is drafted, ensure that the project team is familiar with all the details of the contract and that everyone (contractor, client, financier, etc.) is fully aware of their obligations. “As the work progresses, make certain that the procedural requirements under the contract are followed,” Always Associates adds. The same meticulousness for detail should be applied to plans and specifications.

 Build an ideology for project manager, engineers, architects etc so that they can

recognize delay problems which will lead to large losses as well as the project completion on time. Simultaneously, top management should establish a fair reward and punishment policy which has to be strictly applied.

 The working conditions should be improved gradually aiming at building proper

working atmosphere; this will help work done more effectively.

 The human resource training towards professionalism in the management and

professional ethic improvement need to be set out and prioritized.

 If the consultant’s managerial skill is weak; it is not be able to satisfy the size and

the demand of project. It is not only necessary to promote professionalism in the work of quantity estimates and design, but also very strict in choosing the consultant, designer and the basic of collecting consultant must rely on their capacity. Simultaneously, the responsibility must be assigned to definite individual.

 Get early warning of delays due to the client. Client delays arise because they

change their minds, give their instructions too late or are slow in approving drawings etc. To overcome this issue contractor and client should have proper coordination and understanding.

CONCLUSION

In retrospection of past 4 months when I had industrial training I think it was a precious era of my life.

I was involved in three construction sites during the industrial training period. I think each and every thing that I gathered there widened my knowledge and also my experiences. I could realize the worth of practical knowledge against theoretical knowledge. As it is not worthwhile theoretical knowledge without practical experiences, it is also not worthwhile practical experiences without theoretical knowledge. There must be a good combination of both those aspects to be a good civil engineer.

Being exposed to supervision of works done at site, doing setting outs etc, I could grasp many things regarding technical side. I also could get a good practice on using theodolite and level instrument. Labour management at site and work studies improved the management skills in to a considerable state.

I could recognize many people in the industry and also could realize the roles played by persons from upper levels to the lower level of organization structure. I noticed about the duties and responsibilities of each personnel in organization structure. I observed the conduct of them, how they motivate personnel under them and how they carry out works. Those good features may cherish my future career. Getting an idea about site engineer’s role was important to me since I didn’t have a clear idea about that before.

Training site was a pleasant place for me since all the staff members treated me in a friendly manner. The establishment denoted a good attitude on trainees. Site engineers gave me valuable advices and helped to widen my knowledge. Work supervisors also helped to gather experiences on technical aspects. Works that were given to me were interesting. I was given freedom to learn there. It was trainee’s responsibility to get maximum use of training period. Considering my own experiences, I recommend Sanken construction (Pvt) Ltd as a good training establishment for future trainees.

I have got the real vision on civil engineering construction from this industrial training. The experiences gained there, focused me to my future ambition – to be a salutary good civil engineer and serve to my motherland. So I think arranging a training session at the end of the level 2 is good since it will be a real motivation to undergraduates for their further studies. If the semesters containing subjects relevant to construction management were sandwiched between two industrial training sessions, it would be easy to grasp the scope of those subjects.

In overall assessment regarding my industrial training, I can satisfy with things what I have gained. Gained a good experience on technical matters and had an idea about site management. It is very important to know the interaction between theory and its application. Designing should be done through a good practical knowledge. I learnt many things that should be grasped only through practical experiences.

I could capture the real picture of civil engineering construction during this period. As a civil engineering undergraduate, I got an idea about WHAT should I practice and WHY should I do that. Good attitudes were created towards the industry. So the industrial training period worthwhile to me as it gave me a confidence to fulfill my future ambitions - to be a good civil engineer and also a salutary person to the country.
