If Civil Engineering is a film, internship is its movie trailer. Internship is the sneak
peek of the great stuffs of being a Civil Engineer. A little preview to what this field actually
is. So, I will share to you some scenes and experiences we had during our On-the-Job

continued observing the installation of tie beam. We also saw how they create stirrups, bend
bars and splice rebar. We also observed the installation and creating of forms for tie beams.
After our visit in Toboy National High School, we went to Narciso R. Ramos
made me nervous and sweaty. But as the day passes by, that fright turned into excitement and
before our visit ended, I was able to climb the ladder without losing a sweat. That is an
achievement for me. We saw how they build two-way slab. We saw how they space the bars
and bend it after it was tied. We also saw how they install electrical pipes, wirings and
junction boxes. On the second day, we inspected the scaffolding of the second floor. We saw
observed how they pour concrete mixture into the slab and how they use vibrator on deep
parts like the beams. Concrete vibrator is used to distribute the aggregate evenly and avoid
segregation. Even only after four days have passed, we still learned lots of things related in
our field.
It was hot, humid and our skin was burned but we experienced something new today.
Being on a laborer’s shoe made me see another perspective. It made me feel how hard it is to
earn money once you are a worker. And surely, it is a lot harder than being a student.
During our breaktime on the first day at Carosucan Norte, we had the opportunity to
storey, 6-classroom building. We were instructed by Engr. Rudy Tabin to check the slab that
is being installed on the third floor. But we did more than that. We helped in bringing up the
10mm bars into the third floor using a pulley. It was tied by a thick knot and it was pulled
from the ground. We then received it from the third floor, pulled it and put in on the floor. We
also inspected the DWV and rooms of the ground floor. We stayed at SVES for two and a
half days.
Narciso and San Vicente, they used runners and twin clamp. Another reason to use runners
and twin clamps is that it’s efficient. It only takes few minutes to assemble a certain area of
scaffolding.
We stayed at Ariston-Bantog Elementary School there for one and a half days and
The site that I am talking about is Angela Valdez Ramos National High School. We
met Mr. Nestor Galima , the foreman of that site. They were installing beams and scaffolds
as it looks. The following day, we were lectured about the design of column in the plan. We
also saw that there are some adjustments that were made but it was instructed by the
engineer.
On July 12, 2018, we were visited by Engr. Dianne Oliver on this site. We were asked
some questions about what we have learned so far in our internship. We also told her that we
learned some things about micropile foundation. Micropiling is executed when the soil on the

That steel bar is the tip of the micropile
foundation that they installed at CNNHS
So the following week, we again visited Carosucan Norte National High School.
Luckily, we were able see how they excavate holes for footing and column. We also saw the
other end of the micropile foundation that was installed before they started constructing
footing and columns. On the third day of our visit, we experienced heavy rains brought by
storm and southwest monsoon, so we only stayed at the social hall of the school for three
days. We saw how they bend bars and make forms for columns and beams.
Our last week of OJT took place in Narciso R. Ramos Elementary School. There, we

An experience I will surely not forget. An experience that taught lots of new things.
That is what I can describe about my On-the-Job training in R.G. Tabin Construction and
And that concludes our On-The-Job Training. With that 200 hours of internship, we
had new lessons that will last a lifetime. It also made me realize something. I am few steps
