ABSTRACT
In my pursuit for the Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering at Ndejje University, I
was given an opportunity to do my internship training with Uganda National Roads Authority
(UNRA) for eight weeks.
I was able to attain skills from different fields such as, Site inspection, Surveying, Laboratory
works, Health and Social Safeguards and Design department.
Chapter one of this report describes the objectives of the training, the back ground of this
project, the project scope, project description and the project objectives.
Chapter two discusses the activities undertaken and these include; Field Inspection which
includes swamp treatment, earthworks and roadbed preparation, then Engineering surveying
which involves Leveling, Topographic surveying, staking out, setting out of pedestrals and
survey level checks, and also Quality Control which describes tests on soil, tests on
aggregates, tests on concrete and tests on asphalt. There is also Highway design which
describes the user interface of civil 3D, the survey data arrangement, importing of survey
data, creation of surfaces and creation of a profile. Finally, Health and Social safeguards
which describes duties of the nominated service providers (NSP).
Chapter three discusses the challenges faced which included hardship in transport, little time
allocated to the training yet there are many activities to attend to and language barrier with
the contractor which hindered communication. The mitigations to these challenges are also
included and among these were; having interpretation from project workers about what the
Chinese were communicating, my parents provided me with all the transport among others.
