A NARRATIVE REPORT IN ON-THE-JOB TRAINING UNDERTAKEN AT ALLADO

CONSTRUCTION CO. INC. LOCATED AT COMMUNAL, BUHANGIN, DAVAO CITY,

PHILIPPINES, 8000

Every college curriculum includes on-the-job training since it helps students develop
and improve their abilities so they can be more competent at a professional level as well as
prepare for their own jobs. Additionally, it allows the students the chance to begin working
for the same company where they completed their internship as soon as they graduate. My
coworkers and I are fortunate enough to participate in and experience the fieldwork of
A.C.C.I. for even just 30 days. Our minds were opened to the reality of the outside world
thanks to such helpful coordinators and overheads, and we received information, skills, and
knowledge that cannot be duplicated inside the four walls of a classroom.
During the first few days of our internship, we participated in an orientation to learn
about the background, history, and current and past projects of the organization. The
Quality, Environmental, Health, and Safety Management System that is used on every
project the organization works on was also explained to us. We were presented to the
managers in charge of several fields in our field, showed the ongoing projects the company
is working on, and given an orientation to the standard operating procedure that must be
followed every day in our field office. With our project engineer, Engr. Russel An Lucernas,
and host training establishment coordinator, Ms. Analyn Arenduqe, we began our
internship with the plotting of lot titles for the Victorias Integrated Livestock Incorporated
project. After finishing the plotting for V.I.L.I project, we were tasked by Engr. Lucernas to
survey the Phase II of Diamond Heights subdivision in order to create a road profile for the
as-built part of the project. Since it had been a while since we had participated in a
surveying exercise, the first few days were more of a refresher course. Fortunately, Mr. Ruel
Bante, who instructed us, was patient and understanding enough to let us brush up on our
expertise.
We completed a variety of tasks during the second week, including continuing the
Phase II of DHS surveying, sampling concrete for curbs and gutters, sand washing and
sieving, site visits for both Phase I and III of DHS and the Nazareth St. Project, and
reviewing the plans, bill of materials, and estimates for the AQUAGEM wastewater
treatment plant. It was merely a continuation of the first week's activity for the phase II
survey. Under the close supervision of Ms. Analyn Arenduque, we also took part in sampling
the design mix of concrete that was going to be utilized for the pavement, curbs, and
gutters. Since we performed the field density test (FDT) for the roads in phase III, the sand
washing and sieving was meant for a later usage. We also went on a tour of Diamond
Heights' Phases I through III, where we learned about the procedures, obstacles, and
triumphs that had to be overcome for these projects to be completed. Additionally, we had
the good fortune to go to the Nazareth St. Project and listen in on the conversation between
Engr. Lucernas with Mrs. Carpio, our client, discussing the project. Finally, we were tasked
with analyzing the AQUAGEM sewage treatment plant's blueprints, BOQs, and estimates.
The first day of the third week was significant because it was when the president of
the company, Engr. Ramon Allado, made a walkthrough and site inspection along Road 11
and towards Phase IV and talked about the future plans for the road because there were
still ongoing projects that needed to be completed. Unfortunately, I was not able to come
with the walkthrough because I was at home during that time as I was sick and the next day
my co-intern shared their activities from yesterday’s. It happened that the plans for the
AQUAGEM wastewater treatment facility slated for the Diamond Heights development were
discussed during their site visit. And the rest of the third week featured the continuation of
our Phase II survey and also, we performed a field density test for lanes 1 and 2 of Road 11
to see whether the soil's compaction was successful.
Since we continued our survey for phase II, made site visits for projects, and
reviewed the survey data to be transmitted for the CAD plan during the fourth week, most
of what we did was similar to what we did during the previous weeks. Since there were
some days when we were unable to conduct the survey due to unavoidable weather
conditions, it was still only a continuation of the prior week. Since Road 11 was already
finished when we visited the sites, we went to Road 13 of Phase III, DHS, to see the
procedure before to the formwork, compaction, and concrete pouring. In order to get ready
for the input into our CAD plan, we lastly analyzed the survey data.
As we neared completion of Phase II, we resumed our survey work during the fifth
week. We also conducted a field density test for Road 13, collected concrete samples for
manholes and gutters for the Nazareth project, prepared the survey plans for Phase III, and
created a road profile for the Phase II "As-Built" plan. We completed the last few blocks of
phase II of our surveying work as we were almost finished. In order to determine if the soil
was sufficiently compacted and prepared for concrete pouring, we also tested the field
density of Road 13, which was just next to Road 11. In addition, we sampled concrete for
the design mix of the gutters and manholes that would be used in the Nazareth project.
Since we had already finished creating the road profile for the Phase II as built, we also
acquired the Phase III designs to be ready for the survey of that specific area.
The survey for Phase III, site visits for the road projects in Phase III, compression
tests for the first concrete sampling activities, and development of the road profile for the
as built of Phase III were all completed during the final week of our internship. We
promptly began the Phase III survey after completing the Phase II survey and road profile
in order to complete the road profile as quickly as possible. In order to decrease the
workload on our project engineer and to complete additional tasks during our time at the
organization, we also completed the survey and the road profile. We also went to Phase III
Road 12, which was once again next to Road 11, and saw how it was being prepped for
formwork, compaction, and concrete pouring. One of the highlights of this week was
sending our concrete samples to EB Testing Center to determine if they were successful; to
put it simply, they were more than successful. The Phase III road profile for the as-built plan
has now been completed.
