Alfa Concrete Blocks

Out here in Yelahanka New Town 19, we spend our days dealing with heavy loads of cement, sand, and the big machinery used for molding. The yard is usually covered in a fine layer of gray dust, which is pretty much expected when you are in the business of making concrete blocks. It is hard physical work, and our clothes and boots usually show it by the end of every shift. We have the machines running for most of the morning hours, pressing out blocks and lining them up in neat rows to dry out in the sun. It is a noisy place to be, and you often have to speak up quite loud to be heard over the sound of the mixers. The site is big enough to hold our inventory, but it can feel a bit crowded when a delivery truck is backing in to load up. We mostly deal with local builders and people who are working on their own houses nearby. There is a small office area where we keep the paper records, but we are usually out in the open yard checking the quality of the latest batch. The weather plays a big part in how our day goes; rain can really slow us down while the heat makes the work much thirstier for everyone. We do not have any shiny displays or sales staff wearing suits. It is just a bunch of us in work clothes getting the orders ready for transport. Sometimes the stacks of blocks get really high, and we have to be careful moving the loader.
