ABSTRACT
This internship was conducted at Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd., as part of the
National Highway project extending over 33 kilometres between Kolhapur and Ratnagiri. The
primary aim was to gain practical exposure to various engineering processes involved in large-
scale infrastructure projects. Throughout the internship, I worked across several key departments,
including Survey, Structural Engineering, Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QAQC),
and Highway Engineering.
In the Survey department, I learned about modern land surveying techniques using total stations
and GPS systems. The Structural Engineering division introduced me to structural assessment
practices and the importance of reinforcement detailing. In the QAQC department, I understood
the procedures followed to ensure material and work quality, including testing of aggregates,
bitumen, and concrete. Finally, the Highway Engineering team provided insights into pavement
design, construction methodologies, and maintenance planning.
Overall, the internship was a valuable experience that bridged the gap between academic learning
and real-world engineering applications.

Internship Report – Civil Engineering MEIL NH-166 Project
Chapter 1: Introduction
The primary goal of the industry internship is to offer hands-on experience across
different domains of civil engineering. As part of the eighth-semester academic curriculum,
students are required to complete a minimum of 20 weeks of training at a construction site
or industrial setting. This training helps connect theoretical principles learned in the
classroom with real-time engineering practices.
By working under the guidance of experienced engineers and supervisors, students gain
insights into both technical and managerial aspects of engineering projects. The course aims
to develop:
Understand the planning and execution of major infrastructure projects such as roads,
bridges, and highways
Operate surveying instruments like Auto Levels, Total Stations, and GPS equipment
Read and interpret engineering drawings and Bar Bending Schedules (BBS)
Conduct quality tests for materials like concrete, bitumen, and aggregates as per QA/QC
procedures
Apply MORTH specifications and IS codes in real construction settings
This practical exposure prepares students for industry challenges and enhances employability.
This internship provided the opportunity to work with senior engineers and technical teams
involved in planning, execution, testing, and quality assurance.
By the end of the internship, the following learning outcomes were achieved:

Chapter 6: Conclusion
During my 21-week internship at MEIL’s Ratnagiri-Kolhapur NH-166 project Package
III, I had the opportunity to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and its real-world
application. The internship provided extensive exposure to various aspects of highway
construction, including surveying, structural design, and quality control procedures.
I gained hands-on experience in using modern tools such as the Total Station for field surveys
and STAAD.Pro for structural analysis of RCC components. I became familiar with industry
standards, particularly the MoRTH specifications, for conducting routine construction tests.
Some challenges I encountered included understanding and applying Bar Bending Schedules
(BBS) and adapting to dynamic on-site conditions. These challenges helped improve my patience,
adaptability, and problem-solving approach. The importance of teamwork, precision,
documentation, and site safety protocols became clear through practical involvement and
mentorship.
Implementing digital tools for quality control documentation to reduce manual errors.
Conducting introductory training sessions for interns, especially on BBS and quality
control procedures.
I am sincerely grateful to MEIL and my mentors for their continuous support and guidance
throughout the internship. This experience has significantly boosted my confidence and has
prepared me to contribute meaningfully to infrastructure development projects in the future.
