PREFACE
2
Internship is a field based practical training experience that prepares trainees for tasks they are
expected to do on the completion of their training. Training is done on site in order to equip
students with skills for future demands
As part of fulfillment for the award of national certificate in building construction, the institute
sends students of different departments under the new syllabus of module assessment from the
Uganda Business And Technical Examinations Board (UBTEB) for industrial training
/internship at every end of academic module /semester and this course is mainly intended to
introduce students to various technical skills in industries and provide on the job training and
exposure and thereafter at end of program come up with a report on the summary of activities
done.
DEDICATION
3
I dedicate this training which I had put my humbled efforts to my loving and caring father and
mother whose affection love and encouragement was enough to fuel my desire to finish this
training which I believe is a step into the world of civil engineering
I also would like to dedicate this to my instructors and supervisor whose support was of equal
importance in motivating me
DECLARATION

CHAPTERONE: INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of the background of the training work, the main objectives of industrial
training, and the work done during the training, the challenges, skills and recommendations
compiled for the report during the training
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE TRAINING
This training was done following the academic curriculum for the technical building department
depending on the module. Within this training I was able to select the work to do following the
guidance from our instructor and this helped me achieve and gave a successful work at the end
of the training.
1.2 MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE INDUSTRIAL TRAINING TO STUDENTS
To discover ways to work in a group
To have deeper engagements as students
To develop the communication skills
To acquire other professional skills as far as the module is concerned
To foster creativity to students
To have fun hence deep friendship and becoming more sociable.
1.3 HEALTHANDSAFETY
Our health and safety on site was paramount and was achieved by emphasizing the
following and this was head by our safety officer.
1. Head protection
Head injuries are caused by falling objects, or by pumping the head on a fixed object.
And this was prevented by making sure that the students are wearing helmets.
8
2. Hand protection
Hand injuries are always caused by touching of sharp objects with hands and this was
prevented by making sure that I put gloves when I am going to touch sharp objects on
site.
3. Foot protection
This was achieved by making sure that I am always in safety boots while on site.
Examples of personal protective equipment.
 Overall
 Safety shoes
 Gloves
 Dust mask
9
TOOLS, SAFETY EQUIPMENTS TOOLS, AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUSED
It was used for easy identification of the students
Reflector
Jacket
It was used for protecting the students feet
Safety
Boots
It was used for covering all the main parts of the bodies of the
trainee
Overall
It was used for protection from objects falling from heights
Safety Helmet
It was used for protecting piercing of students from sharp
objects
Glooves

1.4 TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTS USED DURING THE TRAINING WORK

 Trowels
 Spirit level
 Building line
 Angle line
 Straightedges
 Builders squares
11
CHAPTER TWO: CONCRETING
CONCRETE
It’s an artificial rock made up of a mixture of lime cements and course aggregates well mix.
Matrix: is used for binding the whole mass together and for completing the voids left by fine
aggregates.
TYPES OF CONCRETE
Mass concrete.
Rein forced concrete.
BATCHING OF CONCRETE
There are two ways of batching of concrete;
By volume
This is where by we use a gauge box. The proportioning of cement is specified by volume and
even sand and course aggregates. They are mix in the ratio of 1:2:4.
By weight
This is done by using a spring balance. It’s better than volume method because:-
It gives proper ratios
Not tiresome
12
3.4.1 AGGREGATES
These are semi-inert material that forms 60–80% of the volume of concrete. Its use considerably
improves both the volume stability and the durability of the resulting concrete. Strength of
concrete and mix design is independent of the composition of aggregate. Since aggregate is
much cheaper than cement, maximum economy can be obtained by using as much aggregate as
possible.
FUNCTIONS OF AGGREGATES
Provide relatively in expensive filler for the cementing material,
2. To provide a mass of particles that resists the action of applied load sand abrasion.
To reduce the volume changes caused by the setting and hardening process and the drying of the
cement-water paste (Hardening is the gain of strength of a cement paste at onset of the final
setting stage).
3.4.2 WATER
Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. It occurs naturally on the land surface as rivers,
lakes etc. or underground. Raw water contains gases, suspended solids, organic matter, and
dissolved solids.
FUNCTIONS OF WATER.
13
Hydrate the cement. Normally the amount of water needed for hydration reaction is about 15–
20% of the cement weight (depending on the water–cement ratio). Lubricate the aggregate
particles. When concrete dries, lubricate water evaporates hence needs to be controlled
Washing aggregates
3.4.3 CEMENT
Cement, generally can be defined as a finely ground powder/ material with adhesive and
cohesive properties which make it capable of bonding fragments into a compact whole. When
mixed with water, a chemical reaction (hydration) takes place which in time produces a very
hard and binding medium for the aggregate particles.
CURING OF CONCRETE
After setting, concrete was cured using pipe method of sprinkling water so that to improve on its
strength on setting and to avoid cracking due to direct sunshine. This was practiced minimally
twice a day and enough pipes could be left open for 2-3 hrs. To let in water for curing the slab.
14
CHAPTER THREE: FORMWORK
FORM WORK
This is a temporary mould or box into which concrete is placed to obtain a desired shape.
Parts of form work such as column, beam, and boxes are called forms. Boxes for precast
concrete called moulds.
Concrete components in a structure required forms before they were formed. It was the
formwork that could determine their size, shapes and their surface texture.
It’s a factor that the cost of form work may be as such as a third or more of a total coast of
concrete work. The form work for any job must be considered at designed stage. Economy is
more likely to be archived if it is designed and worked out before work commences taking into
consideration of the following:
 Nature of element to be casted.

 Method to handling that is to say by crane requires a use of large sizes of wall and
shutters than if manually handled.
REMOVING OF FORM WORK
15
 Removed side forms as soon as practible, usually wit in hours of casting and this allowed
air movement to dry during the setting out of concrete.
 Removes of fit formwork as soon as practicable usually within days but as a precaution,
some props are left in position until concrete is self-supporting.
MATRIALS USED IN FORM WORK
 Timber form work.

 Steel form work.
 Plastic form work.
CHAPTERTHREE: CONCLUSION
16
3.0 CHALLENGES FACE DURING THE ITR
 Late supply of materials

 Climatic changes i.e. heavy rain
 Expensive tools and materials
 Lack of enough skills for the activities done in the training
 Luck of enough INDUSTRIAL TRAINING facilities i.e. funds
3.1 RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend the building department to always do the following during the

INDUSTRALTRAINING
 Always generate the training plan

 Estimate resources and duration of each task
 Define the relationship of activities as sign resources of tasks
 Define quality standards
 Break down the work
3.2 SKILLS GAINED
 Skill of estimating
 Skill of painting
 Skill of tiling
 Skill of measuring
17
3.3 CONCLUSION
INDUSTRIALTRAINING is very vital for every Technical student. There for every student should
try as much as possible to ensure that they grasp the material and information given to them so
that they can use it to expand on their career and level of experience. This can help them in
future while applying for jobs. This INDUSTRIAL TRAINING has boosted my career especially in
the high way survey department. It has also given me confidence to face future employment
opportunities. All in all I am grateful to the Almighty God for having protected me throughout
my training.
