This week had a similar experience as last week. I continued to work on projects related to real jobs the company was involved in. However this work involved more of the project coordinator aspect to the department I am apart of.

This week’s main task for me was to find percentages of different levels of the project. I would contact different members of the modeling team to find what percentage of their level or floor had been modeled. The structure of this was broken down into three subgroups. These were model population, model cleanup, and model coordination. Population consists of getting the runs of conduit and equipment placed into the floor. The cleanup aspect is making sure the now populated level does not have any clashes or issues. And finally coordination, which is working with other trades so that nothing we model will clash with their work.

The task was proved to be rather difficult. Getting people to respond in a timely manner when they are busy working is not the easiest task. But I was able to get some responses and get somewhat of a picture for where the project was. But tracking down percentages was not the only thing I was tasked with. I was also given the job of checking to see if the size of the transformers we were installing matched with the submittals we were given for the job. This was a more tedious task. I had to go find the transformers on every level and match them to which transformer it represented in the submittal. The submittal was an 82 page pdf with 6 different types of transformers. Luckily I had a one line drawing, which is basically a road map of the layout , including which size the transformers should be on their level. Having the one line made the task much easier and allowed me to complete it.

Although this week had some tedious tasks it was still a fun and learning experience. Next week is our internship midpoint. All the other branch interns are coming back. I can’t wait to see what the talent team has in store for us!
