Zain Fab Engineering

The workshop for Zain Fab Engineering is located at 54/1 on Hosur Main Road, right near the Nava Darwaja Road area in Basavanagar. It is a loud place because we are usually cutting metal or welding something together. We deal with all sorts of engineering jobs, mostly small to medium stuff that people in the neighborhood or local industries need. My hands are usually stained with grease or soot by lunchtime. We’ve got a few machines that have been with us for years, and they still do the job better than some of the newer ones. The floor is always covered in metal shavings, so you have to watch your step when you walk in. Sometimes the power cuts out and we have to wait around, which is just part of living in this part of town. We don't have a receptionist or a lobby; you just walk in and talk to whoever isn't wearing a welding mask at the moment. It’s a bit messy and the air smells like burnt iron, but that is how a fabrication shop should be. We take on whatever comes our way, from fixing a gate to making specific parts for a machine. It’s hard work on the back and shoulders, but we’ve been doing it long enough that we don’t think about it much anymore.
