RITES Ltd.(Rail India Technical and Economic Services-A Govt. of India Enterprise).Working with
RITES was a great learning experience..Duration of the Summer Internship was around 6 weeks.The
project involved construction of Hostel Accommodation for Boys/Girls in the University.The Project
cost was roughly estimated out to be around 10 crores. People working there were very professional
and at the same time they were very helpful also. They had prepared schedule for us which we had to
follow from the very first day of our internship Project is located within the campus of Jamia Millia
Islamia,New Delhi.The project involved construction of Hostel Accommodation for Boys/Girls in the
University.
.RITES was holding the responsibility of PMC(Project Management Consultants) and the
Construction was being carried out by 2 Contractors. My Faculty Guide on behalf of Amity is
Mr.virendra malik and my Industry guide on behalf of RITES was Mr. Mansoor. They taught us
everything that is possible for us learn as a student and indeed more than that in that short time
period. Being there in this company was Wonderful experience for me as i came to know how really a
professional life is.
During the 1st week of the visit we were also introduced to various employees of RITES. Also we
were taken to the Construction Site to observe the Area. When we reached the site we noticed that
Site Layout/Levelling was being carried out. Levelling was being carried out with the help of a device
called Dumpy Level.
our next week was followed with some mismanagement.PCC is a thin layer of Concrete that is
applied on the base of the Foundation on which the Raft Foundation is to be laid out. The PCC
was made in ratio of 1:4:8.Its important to mention that a lot of difficulties were faced during this
stage as the concrete quality should have been upto the standards After PCC was applied the next
stage was Curing of PCC. Curing is the process of maintaining adequate moisture content so that
concrete hardens after curing..The Columns were of size 650mm*350mm. The raft foundation was
laid out over the PCC(after the layout) with a clear cover. The Raft Foundation/Mat was of 16mm
diameter.This process was quite frustrating and tough as it involved perfect timing,experience as well
as harsh working hours as Concreting couldnt be done in day during which temperatures would reach
45 degrees. Along with the Construction techniques we were also shared with information on Project
Management as well as with Bill of Quantities,
Now coming to the non technical part of internship as myself , nilay and ashutosh are my
batchmates at rites. a place like jamia university ,we wander around university seeing various
departmens, labs,interacting with students there without any fear as there was no restrictions so called
i-card and all... we interacted with many students there have lunch with them, snacks and yah an
awesome cup of coffee at college cafeteria every day, we goes around the area near university and as
it is a densely populated area we tasted many cuisines in various hotels..
It was a great learning experience this summer, and due to the interesting nature of the work , I
think that 6 weeks experience can’t be expressed in just one single post. overall my Internship was
quite a big success.It gave me confidence in the field of Civil Engineering and I hope to gain more
Knowledge in various other Civil Engineering Projects. Finally this all helped me to experience and
learn about the professional culture.
