Introduction

This report is a short description of my fifteen days internship carried out at

Apollo proton therapy and cancer hospital project site, OMR. Since the project
was hospital building L&T construction B&F IC, undertakes project with
greater care. The safety measures that were provided during construction were
really good to my knowledge. At the beginning of internship I had several
goals, which I wanted to achieve through this internship i.e., to enhance my
communication skills, to get field experience, to know what are the knowledge I
still need to develop in future.

 Quality control (QC) is a procedure or set of procedures intended to
ensure that a manufactured product or performed service adheres to a
defined set of quality criteria or meets the requirements of the client or
customer.
 Once the material comes to the site, inspection for various
characteristics of the material as per IS code specification is done.
 A separate quality lab is provided at the site for the testing of materials
and the tests are recorded.
 Materials such as cement, concrete, solid blocks, aggregates etc., are
tested to find its durability.
 For example, If RMC is brought to the site, flow of concrete is
checked and cubes are casted to check the compressive strength after 7
and 28 days.

and other measuring tools
 Masonry pillars was constructed for permanent bench mark and its top
surface was finished neatly
 Survey layout was prepared showing permanent benchmark and points
were set out for pillars and other individual structure
2.4.4 SHOWRING:
 Sheet piling (yield stress not less than 295 N/mm2) was adopted with
help of vibro hammer to prevent the sliding of surrounding soil and strut
arrangement along with king post was made for its stability purpose.

2.4.5 PILE:
 BCIS - Bored Cast In-Situ Pile (IS 2911: Part I Sec: 2 1979) i.e end
bearing pile is used in project for foundation and the pile was lowered up
to 1m below the rock strata.

 Termination of pile was depend on PPR value derived from SPT ‘N’
value

7
 PILING OPERATION:
 Auger cutting tool was attached to Kelly and pre-boring was done
 Casing was driven into ground the verticality was stage wise checked.
 During the process of boring the bentonite solution was circulated from
bentonite tank.
 Rebar cage was lowered after termination of bore. Rebar was lowered
with the help of crane.

variation inside and outside the block using thermocouple
 Thermocouple was place at middle, side, top and bottom of block
 If the inside temperature is too hot and outer is cold due to temperature
gradient crack is formed
2.4.10 REINFORCEMENT:
 Reinforcement was laid in sequential layers

Conclusion
This internship was very useful for my carrier, through this internship I found
out what my strengths and weakness are. I have gained new knowledge, and
met many people who teach me many skills. On the whole this internship was a
