AARRSCP is presently involved in number of activity related to water sectors. It is quite clear
that these sectors consist wide range of service. The company has the full capacity to involve
in the following areas.
BY JEMBERU TEKA 2
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
The main customers are that give design to the company of Addis Ababa water and
Sewerage authority with agreement to construct design within a given time and specific
costs. In addition to this the following also customers for AARRSCP. These are;
Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority is currently providing water for the City of AA
from Legedadi and Gefersa dams with additional supplies from ground water pumped from
fields and other wells and springs within the City.
The specific responsibility assigned to the Consultant is therefore to undertake the consultancy
service for study and design of water supply project by considering the existing prevailing

critical potable water supply shortage within the command area as the results of the ongoing
condominium housing development project. Jemmo area water supply project is planned to be
supply water condominium with additional supplies from well filed.
The project consists of study and designs of collector pipes, collection chamber, pump/booster
stations, electro-mechanical equipment, transmission mains, reservoirs, auxiliary buildings and
main distribution system that can able serve beneficiaries to condominium sites and other areas
along the way & nearby the condominium sites.
Initial population is 11200 and final population, P30 is 23500. The rate of population growth
(r) which is 3% is a statistical data obtained from AARRSC office. But using the above formula
the project area population forecasted for design period of 30 years as follow. Rationale in the
internship
F. Description of the Existing Water Supply System
The existing water supply system of the current project area is from groundwater and Fanta
spring. It was constructed under Akaki water supply project in 1997. It is supplied by gravity
from reservoir. Fanta spring and other wells in Fanta well fields are enhance the system supply.
The current visualized areas are predominantly condominium houses in addition to the nearby
public institutions, private residential houses and factories.
Therefore, the presented water supply project area aimed to supply primarily to all of the
condominium housing sites, cooperative houses currently under construction, existing public
and residential areas located in a part of Wareda_1 and Wereda _2 of Jemmo Sub City from
deep wells of field, which can able to provide 520 m3/day (on average of 20 hour pumping) of
potable water to supply the command area.
The existing water distribution systems within the present allocated command areas are
identified and considered in the design in order to supply from the new water supply system.
G. Location and Accessibility
The proposed ground water sources are from two main well fields, Akaki and Fanta, located at the
greenbelt of Addis Ababa city. Akaki well filed is located at about 22km South of Addis Ababa.
Five deep wells were already drilled in replacing the existing shallow wells with a total expected
safe yield of 456 l/sec while four additional wells are also identified with collective expected yield
of 400 l/s. Similarly, Fanta well field is located to North of Akaki well field.

As the Jemoo site condominium newest area it needs much water for different purposes.
Example water for mangrove (much water to grow trees), for construction purposes and other.
Thus water demand get maximum to solve these types of problem.

2.2 Methodology
To do the internship the method used is worked as a worker as well as observer at AARRSCP
project and try to gather information from service provider. To do internship some steps should
be worked, these steps are data collection, data analysis. Way of data collection is through
primary and secondary data collection.
A. Primary data source: was derived from the practical moreover; this also helped that to get
measurement information directly from the employees and data are collected on-site by
observation and.
B. Secondary data source: internal sources from different documents provided by concerned
officers and different circulars, manuals and files of the organization.
2.2.2 The methodology or procedures used to perform the internship
The procedures was
1. Read manuals about the project
2. Visiting the construction steps and processes
3. Then worked as a part of worker up to the end of internship period
4. Finally doing project report
BY JEMBERU TEKA 7
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
Those processes are applied during internship period to construct Jemmo site reservoir. The
reservoir capacity is 520m3/d.
The top soil is removed since it contains vegetable which can damage foundation and it is not
firm enough to support building. Do not use the soil to back fill holes that are created by
excavating roots in the top soil because the soil will settle to different level in the holes and
great cracks in the over site concrete.

B. Red soil
BY JEMBERU TEKA 9
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
we would take such a soil and use selected material, which seeing the cost that hoick for
excavation is high with compare to the cost that buy the selected material. The soil is therefore
is a good according to exercitation, there was no soil test is scour .The depth of all excavated
area is around 6m.
3.1.3 Transporting excavated soil
Truck is used for transporting excavated soil from the project area to another places and then
filled by selected material to increase the rigidity that containing many layers compacted by
roller compactor to minimize cracks of the foundation at excavated area that selective material
from another places.

A. Diameter Hardcore
Hardcore is applied after filling of the internal part of our foundation with selected material.
The reservoir area which is 30m wider are clad with hard core which is sink down lengthwise
at about 25cm thickness.
B. Problem when hard core filling
The filling of hard core was made by the Chinese contractor (CGCOC). During this time they
are made mistake, actually this is deception as our opinion. Because they are engineer, here of
don’t expect from the experienced engineer. The erroneousness was replacement of pure hard
core by other similar material, However the material not pure hard core or not fresh basaltic.
BY JEMBERU TEKA 11
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
Moreover, they made a mistake such a hard core do not placed properly.as shown a photo
below,
It is usually laid in 200-350mm layer to the required depth. They have to use hard core as fresh
basaltic and the material should be placed properly which sit vertically and should have 250mm
thickness, even so, they do not stanch shooting the word using for ructions. But after substantial
argument they got prescriptive from our employer what was, they have to remove all material
out of the compound and they have to use other fresh basaltic material, and have to properly
place. And the placing should be done by experienced mason. The video shown below are
removing of material.

3.1.7 Reinforcement
Reinforcement steel are used to resist tensile strength, because concrete is weak in tensile
strength and strong in compressive strength this helps to the structure durability, rigidity, etc.
When all of the reinforcement bars have been cut as per required length and all of bars are tide
with wire. Therefore, the remaining operation was placing the reinforcement bar properly on
the floor of lean concrete.
BY JEMBERU TEKA 14
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
The reservoir has nine 3*3 column stages. On this stage there is a load acting on it call it tension
force, to rampart the load adjust a wealth of reinforcement bar through the depth on the buckle
stages,
It is used to prevent the steel reinforcement from contacting and keeps gap to place the
concrete. After concrete is casted this uses to prevent the reinforcement from exposing to air
and moisture because the concrete covers the reinforcement.

B. Concrete filling
Concrete filling refers to proper distribution of concrete in the structure. The reinforcement bar
properly placed, but concrete filling may take much time at around 32 hours. It is intolerable
fill in a day, because the condition was summer it may have a rain this also not good. Although,
the concrete supplied agent (CGCOC) also cannot bring the concrete to all 30m diameter parts
BY JEMBERU TEKA 17
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
of reservoir. As an option it would be fill half a time. Half of the structure is filled separately
with in 16hr. During this time it has a possibility of occurring fissure between two separated
parts. It also brings on leakage on the feature. To protect the structure from leakage we have to use
water stop.
C. Concrete compaction
The objective of compaction is to achieve maximum density by removing air voids from the
concrete. We compact the concrete using machine like vibrator.
D. Leveling of concrete
After the concrete is being placed and compacted the concrete is leveled by using strait edge
timber
E. Curing of concrete
Curing is a controlled process or keeping the newly laid concrete just most enough to dry out
without shrinking and cracking or is the process through which the concrete becomes hard and
strong.
F. Concrete test
Concrete will be tested for its properties in order to know its quality and strength.
Slump cone test
BY JEMBERU TEKA 18
Internship report on Jemmo Water Supply Project 2011EC
Slump cone test is a simple and popular test. It conducts at site by using cylinder. It is
workability test. At site place slump test is used to know workability of concrete.
There are three types of slump test. These Are
i. True slum
ii. Shear slum
iii. Collapse slump
For example if the supervisor wants to know the workability of concrete at site he/she will used
slump test.

4. ASSESSMENT OF INTERNSHIP
4.1 Objective of the Internship
The purpose of the internship is to expose Ethiopian institute of technology (Arba Minch
University) students to the world of work. So that can relate theoretical knowledge with
application in industry.
They will also develop skills in work ethics.
As Supervisor:-
Checking the area of reinforcement and the overlap Checking the alignment of
columns

4.6 Contributions
Contribution that I made for the project on the site is helping the supervisor acting as Forman,
and supervising the work at all specially during excavation and follow up the workers to do
regularly during concrete filling when the supervisor at weariness due to more time that
consuming for the concrete filling it was (around 16 hr) per a day.

5.2 Recommendation
During the internship period at the site I had recommended the following points.
The soil that is excavated from the site is throw away without target as a waste. So,
instead it use for growing forests around the reservoir.
The engineer (contractor) as well as the formals are doing the work as the casual
manner. As example materials The AARRSCCP should follow the engineer’s.
Service utilities for workers are not fulfill it also affect the work. And the company
should satisfy.
Around the site there are a lot of shelters which are named as “Ye chereka betoch”
has no opportunity to get water from the reservoir. Thus, it should address potable
water to them also.
The company should fulfill the utilities that are available for the project office
workers (engineers and other corporative workers) such as, toilet, emergency
medical, safety shoe, and specially site car.
Even construction materials like cement, sand, number of labor and other are stolen
inexpertly. So, it should be supervise strictly.
Therefore, if this all recommendations are kept and sweep correctly, the project will
bring a prompt result for the community.
