ABSTRACT Regarding to course CES303 Civil Engineering Training, Students are provided with on-the-job training at selected governmental organizations and private company. The purposes of the course are to provide the students opportunities to experience civil engineering works other than what leaned in the class. In this case, Italian-Thai Development PCL is the private company which gave the chance to intern at Permanent Flooding Protection site. There are many experience gain during internship. A lot of experience cannot be gain such as tender, bill of quantity, pre-qualification of tender and human resource management. Some of subject cannot be learn in the classroom but it can be learn through the field work such as management.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Recently Thailand got big disaster which is flooding that cover a huge area including northern part and central part of Thailand refer to the news (Appendix 1).

Figure 1 Flood at Navanakorn Industrial Estate

There are many areas that important for Thailand economic which encounter with flood such as paddy, industrial estate, factory, government office and power station. Flood cause a lot of damage to economic. Some of foreign investors are not confident with this problem and they prefer to move the production base. Regarding from this fact, the foreign investor want a solution or strategy to ensure that flooding will never affect or cause the damage to their property from the government. On the other hand, the government will not provide the solution of this problem sooner. Some of factory provides a protection flooding wall by themselves such as Giffarine factory which located in Navanakorn Industrial Estate. By the way, it comes with very high price that is why some of factory prefers to change the production base. The board of Navanakorn Industrial Estate decided to solve this problem with the permanent flooding protection project and signed Italian-Thai Development PCL to carry out this project.

2.2 History

Figure 4 ITALTHAI Building

The success of a joint operation in 1954 in salvaging five ships sunk in the Chao Phraya River led to a strong friendship between Dr. Chaijudh Karnasuta, a Thai, and Mr. Giorgio Berlingieri, an Italian. They together founded Italian-Thai Development Corporation Limited (ITD) on 15 August 1958 with an initial registered capital of 2 million Baht. The company grew steadily and became publicly listed in the Stock Exchange of Thailand in 1994 with a registered capital of 2,500 million Baht and with the name changed to Italian-Thai Development Public Company Limited. Further growth to this date (2009) has brought the registered capital of the company up to 4,921.68 million Baht with 4,193.68 million Baht paid up. After the sad passing of Mr. Giorgio Berlingieri in December 1981, ITD has been under an all-Thai management led by the Karnasuta family members together with a strong team of competent Thai managers and engineers. The financial crisis starting in Thailand in 1997 dealt a big blow to almost all of the Thai companies. ITD was no exception and had to undergo a Business Rehabilitation process which was successfully carried out on 16 December 2002. That event turned out to be a foundation for a firmer growth of the company. At the year-end of 2003 ITD's turnover of that year was 18,330 million Baht making ITD the largest infrastructure construction company in Thailand and one of the largest in Southeast Asia . New contracts obtained in 2003 totalled 7,896 million Baht resulting in the total value of work in hand of 39,971 million Baht for that year. 2.3 Corporate Objective & Activities Corporate Objective

CHAPTER 4 EXPERIENCED GAINED 1. English is used in translating contract and tender offer document (Refer to appendix 3: shop drawing) 2. 3. Well understand managing human resource, labors must be treat like family if want them to work with company in a long time 4. Corrugate concrete sheet pile that used to build permanent flood protection wall is intellectual property of Mitsubishi Corporation which some company in Thailand paid for license to conduct this sheet pile. 5. Understand method of driving corrugate concrete sheet pile as following step (Refer to appendix 2: shop drawing) Step 1: Driving first sheet pile and check whether sheet pile is vertical straight or not

Figure 16 step of driving sheet pile 1

Step 2: Driving second sheet pile and check whether sheet pile is vertical straight or not

Figure 17 step of driving sheet pile 2

Step 3: Driving third sheet pile and check whether sheet pile is vertical straight or not

Figure 18 step of driving sheet pile 3

Step 4: Driving forth sheet pile and check whether sheet pile is vertical straight or not

Figure 19 step of driving sheet pile 4

Step 5: further driving sheet pile but if some of sheet pile is not straight in vertical, whole work must be stopped for repair this disable sheet pile then continue to driving sheet pile

6. Plump should be used to check vertical straight as this picture

Figure 20 using plump to check vertical straigh

7. Usually while driving sheet pile slipping out problem is happen because the lower soil is not varying type then the different stress will occurred at the base of sheet pile that cause sheet pile is not in the vertical straight. By the way there is some remedy step as following Step 1: two or three sheet pile will be used to lock the slipping out plate

Figure 21 remedy slipping out method 1

19

Step 2: Pull up the damage plate for 1 2 meter

Figure 22 remedy slipping out method 2

Step 3: Driving second pile and third pile. Each of them should lower than previous plate about 1 meter. Also check the vertical straight

11. Supervise the seismic test, this test is required by owner to check whether pile cracking underneath the soil

CHAPTER 5 CONCLUSION In conclusion, there are so many notable memories in internship. Training implied that content in the classroom is not enough for working. For example in the process of design soil work, the unit weight, ground water table and friction angle are concerned in the classroom but varying of unit weight and inaccuracy of field test are also concerned in the real work. It can be concluded that sometimes experience is needed to design something. English is used quite often during signing a contract or tender offer. It is very good chance to have study in English program even through accent and vocabulary are still not good enough but this is not the problem because the conversation, e-mail and document can be understood clearly. Finally, in my opinion, Italian-Thai Development PCL is good in conducting practice work but I prefer work as designer. By the way, it is great honors to work with this company.
