Introduction
Development of a country depends on the connectivity of various places with adequate road
network. Roads are the major channel of transportation for carrying goods and passengers.
They play a significant role in improving the socio-economic standards of a region. Roads
constitute the most important mode of communication in areas where railways have not
developed much and form the basic infra-structure for the development and economic growth
of the country. The benefits from the investment in road sector are indirect, long-term and not
immediately visible. Roads are important assets for any nation. However, merely creating
these assets is not enough, it has to be planned carefully and a pavement which is not
designed properly deteriorates fast. Pakistan is a large country having huge resource of
materials. If these local materials are used properly, the cost of construction can be reduced.
There are various type of pavements which differ in their suitability in different
environments. Each type of pavement has its own merits and demerits. Despite a large
number of seminars and conference, still in Pakistan, 98% roads are having flexible
pavements. A lot of research has been made on use of Waste materials but the role of these
materials is still limited.

Weekly Working Progress
In weekly working progress I briefly explain what I learnt and what I gain from my four
month internship, and detail about the weekly work progress.
1st week (Briefing)
Day 1, 2 & 3
What Is a Bid?
The term bid refers to an offer made by an individual or corporation to purchase an asset.
Buyers commonly make bids at auctions and in various markets, such as the stock market.
Bids may also be made by companies that compete for project contracts. When a buyer
makes a bid, they stipulate how much they're willing to pay for the asset along with how
much they are willing to purchase.1
A bid also refers to the price at which a market maker is willing to buy a security. But
unlike retail buyers, market makers must also display an ask price.
Day 4
Tendering:
Definition / Meaning of Tender to invite bids for a project, or to accept a formal offer such as a
takeover bid. Tender usually refers to the process whereby governments invite bids for large
projects that must be submitted within a finite deadline. What is Tendering? Tendering is the
process of making an offer, bid or proposal, or expressing interest in response to an invitation
or request for tender. Organizations will seek other businesses to respond to a particular need,
such as the supply of goods and services, and will select an offer or tender that meets their
needs and provides the best value for money. Tender request documents; also referred to as
invitations to tender, Requests for Tender (RTF), Requests for Proposal (RFP) etc outline what
is required, that is, what the requesting organization’s needs are. These documents also outline
the particular requirements, criteria, and instructions that are to be followed. Future tenders are
generally widely advertised to offer opportunities to a number of suppliers, encourage
competition and provide a greater pool of offers to select from.
Day 5 &6
Work Order:
A maintenance work order is an authorization to perform requested activities on a work request.
Depending on the type of business, work requests can be submitted to maintenance by any one of
their many types of customers or staff. Once work requests are reviewed and approved by
maintenance, an official work order to complete the job is issued. In addition to the details

7.1 Road
A road is a long piece of hard ground which is built between two places so that people
can drive or ride easily from one place to the other. A thoroughfare especially in a city,
town, or village that is wider than an alley or lane and that usually includes sidewalks.
Bituminous pavements are constructed in different layers such as base course, binder
course and surface course. These layers are made of different materials and provide
different functions to the bituminous pavements.
Figure21:LayersofRoad
Sub grades are commonly compacted before the construction of a road, pavement or
railway track, and are sometimes stabilized by the addition of asphalt, lime, Portland
cement or
P a g e 31 | 40
other modifiers. The sub grade is the foundation of the pavement structure, on which the
sub base is laid down. In fill areas, sub grade below the top 150 mm (6 inches) is often
considered adequate if it is compacted to 90 percent relative density. In order to achieve
these densities the sub grade must beat or near its optimum moisture content.
P a g e 32 | 40
Figure23:PreparationofSubBase
The base course or base course in pavements is a layer of material in an asphalt roadway,
race track, riding arena, or sporting field. It is located under the surface layer consisting of
the wearing course and sometimes an extra binder course.
If there is a sub-base course, the base course is constructed directly above this layer.
Otherwise, it is built directly on top of the sub grade. Typical base course thickness
ranges from 100 to 150 millimeters (4 to 6 in) and is governed by underlying layer
properties. Generally consisting of a specific type of construction aggregate, it is placed
by means of attentive spreading and compacting to a minimum of95%relativecompaction.
Figure24:Base Layer
P a g e 33 | 40
Surface Course & Binder Course
In flexible pavements, the upper layer consists of asphalt concrete that is a construction
aggregate with a bituminous binder. The wearing course is typically placed on the binder course
which is then laid on the base course, which is normally placed on the sub base, which rests on the
sub grade.
A coarse aggregate bound with bitumen between the foundation and the wearing course of an
asphalt pavement.

CONCLUSION OVERALL BENEFITS I GAINED FROM THE INTERNSHIP
Introduction
There were lots of benefits that I have gained from my internship program. Since it
was my first practical experience everything there was new and important to me. I
mentioned the benefits in terms of:
Practical skills
Theoretical knowledge
Interpersonal communication skills
Team work skills
Leadership skills
Work ethics related issues
Benefits I gained in terms of improving my practical skills
Internship program gave me many opportunities to test and refine my skills, to make
theoretical knowledge applicable and to make it practical skill there should be a chance
like this. This program helps me to build and improve my confidence in construction
tasks. Some of things that help me to improve my practical skills are:
Different site works was performed continuously that I had learned in
theoretical classes.
The theoretical lessons that I take before the internship.
My motivation and ambition to know for new things.
The best relation I have had with the site crew.
Benefits I gained in terms of upgrading my theoretical knowledge
P a g e 35 | 40
Benefits I gained in terms of improving my interpersonal communication skills
By the time I started the internship program I was not able to know how to deal with people
at the work place that I did not know the way to communicate with different workers. It
was difficult to me to communicate with the workers. But afterwards I believe that good
relation and communication skill is the key for getting the experience and knowledge
require for the internship program. Based on this I tried to change my approach to the
people at the work place and through time I was able to saw progress on myself. So as
conclusion I can say that I had got good lesson regarding communication skill while my
stay in the company for the internship program. I used to have different discussions with
my friends who were internee students and the workers at the site. During discussions
different ideas are raised. Through such team work, it was easier to solve emerging
problems. Therefore it becomes easy for me to improve my interpersonal communication
skills.
Benefits I gained in terms of improving team work skill
Team work is the way of success and strength. I learnt that as part of a team, an engineer
should have to works with a positive attitude within a group for the success of a project.
When called upon to lead, an engineer must have good team work skills. Therefore I try to
improve my team work skills in order to be a successful.
Benefits I gained in terms of improving my leadership skills
Leadership is a skill to guide, control and monitor peoples. The internship helps me to
improve my leadership talents to future employers, my ability to work well with different
types of people and my skills in seeing projects through from start to finish. I had seen how
each worker was controlled and organized to perform its day to day activities. For the time
being I didn’t practice leadership from higher level. However I meet with an efficient
project manager and I grasp a lot of knowledge concerning different issues such as how to
treat different persons and how to control the overall activity on the site. Generally
regarding leadership skill I had got a good experience. Also to be an effective leadership I
understood that personal values like:
Confidence
Effective Communication
P a g e 36 | 40
Benefits I gained in terms of understanding work ethics related issue
Leadership helped me to know the values of the work ethics, so that I
tried to practice and understood work ethics related issues during my
internship.
o Punctuality: - means keeping the companies work beginning and
ending time and to complete a given task within the given period.
o Office Disciplines: - on work place you don’t have to disturb the
working atmosphere. For example abstain from loud music, songs and
things which disturb other workers work.
o Reliability: - the worker should be qualified for the part he is supposed
to be performing. He must have appropriate skill and knowledge for the
task assigned.
o Honesty: - Regarding this value each worker regardless of its status
should abstain from bad behavior such as cheating, bias, corruption
etc..
o Cooperation: - each worker should interact and cooperate with each
other while working. That is because it is through such system
problems could be easily solved.

Useful Points for new Interns
Keep calm in all situations. Calmness allows you to make rational decisions.
Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you need to; it’s always better to ask how
to do something instead of doing it wrong.
Always ask for honest feedback from your colleagues and supervisor. You’re in an
internship to learn asking others to offer advice on your development points will help
you to improve.
Be polite to everyone you work with. You never know what you might need from
them next week
Keep hard copies of feedback you receive and good work you do as an intern. It will
be useful to return to once the internship is over.
Always take notes when you’re given instructions—it will help to prevent silly
mistakes.
Don’t be downhearted if you feel some of the work you’re given is below your
intelligence level. You still have to prove yourself and maintaining a good attitude at
all times is important.
Be innovative. Look for opportunities to prove you as a useful asset to the company
this could be by designing a social networking page or reorganizing the filing system.
Produce a short presentation to show someone senior if you can get 15 minutes of that
person’s time. Show him or her idea you have for the company.
Use comparative language to differentiate the intern from potential candidates.
Highlight a special interest or a particular motivation for the intern’s career path.
Are there particular interests that the intern has in his or her chosen field?
Identify any observations related to the intern’s character, integrity, or emotional
maturity.
Mention any distinguishing qualities.
For instance, you may want to touch upon how the intern operates in a team and any
leadership, analytical, or communication skills essential to making a contribution in
the profession or the academic institution.
In your final paragraph, conclude with an appropriate closing.
P a g e 38 | 40
SUGGESTIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
Being a fresh engineers and technologists, internship and technical report are very
effective for us. They give the real practical knowledge about our study.
I recommend that it is necessary along with the respective courses. In my opinion,
theuniversityshouldkeepmanagingsuchinternshipeventsforstudentsandacomprehensive
overview (reporting, documentation, learning perspective) should be provided
considering each and every aspect so that in future they come across with fewer
difficulties.
I recommend my juniors to do an internship with full devotion. You will surely get a
lot of knowledge from the field which also helps in getting the concept in future.
Introduce the intern on the first day to other employees. Encourage the intern to have
individual meetings with colleagues they will frequently interact with. This will help
the intern feel welcome and to become comfortable.
Treat the intern like a real member of the team and not just a temporary employee.
Provide meaningful work opportunities.
Create an internship binder that provides information on where to find resources
important to the intern’s job. Including work phone number and emails of colleagues.
Provide interns with job description and base performance on how well they complete
what’ sin the description.
Give feed back in a timely and respectful manner, realizing that this may be the
intern’s first experience in a professional job setting.
Rotatetheinternthroughvariouspartsofthedepartmentorprovideopportunitiestoworkwith
various people by rotating supervisors.
Invite interns to attend staff meetings and professional networking events with you.
Provide mentoring to the intern, not just supervision.
Have patience. The internee can earn the company very fast as they are only there for
a short period of time.
P a g e 39 | 40
CONCLUSION
On the whole, this internship was a useful experience. I have gained new knowledge, skills and met many
new people. I achieved several of my learning goals, however for some the conditions did not permit. I got
insight into professional practice and experienced that financing, as in many projects, is an important factor
for the progress of projects. It taught me the manners to deal with colleagues and labor. It contributed in
my knowledge and helped me to realize the responsibilities of a Civil Engineer. I learned that how to make
the project successful under require conditions.
One thing that should always be kept in mind is management skills and self-motivation is the millstones
for successful completion of any project. Related to my interest, I learnt more about the construction
phases, concrete technology and steel fixing for different structures and there is still a lot to discover and to
improve. The internship was also good to find out what my strengths and weaknesses are. This helped me
to define what skills and knowledge, I have to improve in the coming time. After my BS, I think that I
could start my working career.
However I could perform certain tasks in research better if practice more the research methodologies
applied in concrete technology. It would also be better if I could present and express myself more
confidently. I recommend my juniors to show their interests on mega projects having deep foundations like
Dams, Bridges and High Rise Buildings because a good foundation is the guarantor of a good structure. At
last this internship has given me new insight sand motivation to pursue a career in construction industry.
