Reforzamiento estructural del Hospital FUCS de Bogotá

Abstract

During the internship carried out at the company Construcciones y Cimentaciones Manuals TG S.A.S., activities related to the structural reinforcement of the FUCS Hospital in Bogotá, a critical building in operation, were developed. The objective was to increase its bearing capacity in the face of a structural expansion that included the installation of new medical equipment and new buildings. The solution implemented consisted of the construction of micropiles, chosen for their efficiency in small spaces and their low impact on existing structures. Activities included inspection and planning, drilling, reinforcement installation, cement grout injection, quality control and technical documentation. Key technical knowledge was acquired on deep foundations, seismic-resistant regulations and construction management in demanding operating conditions. In addition, environmental improvements such as water reuse and logistical strategies for the management of materials and waste were proposed. This project strengthened both technical competencies and skills, leaving a significant contribution in an essential health infrastructure for the city.
