Abstract This report describes two small scale construction projects namely, construction of U-type storm drain and repair work and whitewash. The main aim of constructing a U-type storm drain was to regulate the flow of water through and across the road . The roads were surveyed and the measurements were taken accordingly. The dimensions were recorded for estimating the total cost of constructing the U-type storm drain. The Earth was first excavated at the site to a depth of 60 cms and the bottom surface was plastered with 10 cms thick C.C (1:4:8). The brick drainwalls each of height 45 cms and of width 23 cms and 35 cms were respectively constructed. The Exposed inner surfaces were lined with 15 cms thick plaster (1:4) plaster and the exposed outer surfaces were lined with 5 cms thick P.C.C (1:1.5:3) plaster. In the second construction project, the existing coat of color was first scraped out and all the voids existing were covered with white cement. The surface was allowed to air dry and then watered to add moisture. The walls were then coated with a layer of oil-bound washable distemper. For repairing the walls the old plaster was first raked out and cleaned with sand paper for making the surface smooth. The repair work was done as patches of area 2.5 sqm, of thickness 12 mm to 20 mm with cement mortar (1:4).

Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Lok Nirman Vibhag popularly known as P.W.D. has a legacy of more than 130 years. P.W.D. is responsible for construction, maintenance and planning of roads, bridges and Govt. Buildings. In view of strategic location of Uttarakhand bordering China & Nepal, the responsibility of P.W.D. becomes of much more attentive from defense point of view. As part of graduation requirements, all the undergraduates, the third year and forth year students, who take bachelor of Civil Engineering in LPU will undergo industrial training programme for a duration of six weeks. This industrial training is a course for undergraduates that gives them an opportunity to expose themselves in the real career world so as to they will learn how to relate theoretical learning before and real practical in working’s environment. Besides that, in future, they will be having good preparation and understanding for their field of profession.
1.2 THE OBJECTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING:
Undergraduates have an opportunity to expose themselves in working’s environment of their field of profession respectively.
For obtaining working’s experience in the industry which is relating to their field of current study.
Using knowledge which is obtained from industrial training for their study after finishing training and continuing study at university afterwards.
Training them to be capable in communication and interaction b e t w e e n w o r k e r s a n d s u p e r i o r.
Training them to be able to prepare a technical report which is related to industrial training they do.
1.3 THE SCOPE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING:
Observing the whole operation of this industry.
Doing operation’s work that is involved in unit production by either using machine or tool.
Work that involving installment and fabrication of tool. 9
Visual inspection and quality control on the final product.
Repairing an y damaged tool if it still can use, or buying a new tool to replace it.
Discussion and meeting with superior.

2.1.2 Detailed work : For the mentioned work, from C.C Road and Pratap road to Puri General Store (1150 mts), from Guru Nanak Road to Manav Kendra (1500 mts), from Bhagat Singh Road to Arun Sharma's residence (700 mts and 300 mts); provided U-type storm drain as per the specifications. The pre-existing U-type drain which had undergone damage was repaired to prevent the water from standing still and getting stagnant. The provision for providing the Utype drain was most appropriate as it provided 'reverse grade' to the water. Therefore, U-type drains were suggested to be provided.
2.1.3 Specifications : All the works were carried out as per Detailed Specifications of PWD Uttarakhand and as directed by Engineer in Charge and Circulars issued by Chief Engineer (level-I) from time to time.

Chapter 3: CONCLUSION 3.1 Conclusion The 6 weeks training that I received at PWD was great experience for me not only on technical terms but also in terms of interaction with other workers. I learnt a great deal on applying the knowledge I have gained at the University. Learning something from books and lectures is nothing like having firsthand experience. At Loadstar I got to apply my Civil Engineering knowledge. The company gives the full freedom for the trainee to get a sufficient training. The trainees are allowed to ask and do anything relevant to the training. Engineers are always very enthusiastic on giving us the best training experience. The employees do not think of their designation but only on the work to be done. Teamwork has been excellent and all of them are like best friends, even with lower ranked employees like Drivers, Office aids. And also they are most often at the sites with all kinds of employees. Everyone was friendly from top to bottom. Employees are busy with their work but they always help us to improve our knowledge. 3.2 Drawbacks during the training A drawback I see in PWD is that it has many health hazards. Employees are exposed to large amounts of dust. When inhaled, these particles can cause serious lung disease. Even though there is a rule to wear protective masks, employees do not do so most of the time. They should be urged to wear protective gear and lectured on negative consequences of not wearing them. Also unlike in CEB where the safety is measured by the number of accidents in a given time period, in Loadstar, it is the number of deaths that is shown. I attached the copy of the Certificate obtained by PWD. 3.3 Future Scope As an undergraduate of the Lovely professional University I would like to say that this training program is an excellent opportunity for us to get to the ground level and experience the things that we would have never gained through going straight into a job. I am grateful to Lovely professional University and PWD for giving us this wonderful opportunity. The main objective of the industrial training is to provide an opportunity to undergraduates to identify, observe and practice 30
how engineering is applicable in the real industry. It is not only to get experience on technical practices but also to observe management practices and to interact with fellow workers. It is easy to work with sophisticated machines, but not with people. The only chance that an undergraduate has to have this experience is the industrial training period. I feel I got the maximum out of that experience. Also I learnt the way of work in an organization, the importance of being punctual, the importance of maximum commitment, and the importance of team spirit. The training program having three destinations was a lot more useful than staying at one place throughout the whole six weeks. In my opinion, I have gained lots of knowledge and experience needed to be successful in a great engineering challenge, as in my opinion, Engineering is after all a Challenge, and not a Job.
