Mining And Allied Engineering Industries

Our place, Mining And Allied Engineering Industries, is right on G. T. Road. Being near National Highway 2 in Asansol means there is always a lot of dust and trucks passing by. Chanda P. O. in Kalipahari is where we spend our days. The workshop is big and loud because of all the heavy machinery we deal with. It gets really hot in the summer, especially with the metal everywhere. We focus on engineering parts that mines and other industries around here need. It’s dirty work and our clothes are usually covered in grease by noon. We’ve been at this location for a long time. The building is older and has some cracks in the walls, but it serves its purpose. Asansol is known for this kind of industry so we fit right in. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. We just take orders and get to work on the lathes and welding machines. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we have to spend all night fixing it so the schedule doesn't slip. It isn't a glamorous life, but it’s what we know how to do. The guys here have been working together for years. We eat lunch together in the small shed out back and talk about whatever is going on in the news. It's just a regular engineering shop doing its bit on the highway side for whoever needs us. The machines are loud and the floor is greasy.
