Fabricast Equipment

Fabricast Equipment is located at 349 Dakshindari Rd. It’s a big gray building that you can’t really miss if you’re looking for it. Inside, it’s mostly the smell of cut metal and welding smoke. We do a lot of heavy work here. The floor is concrete and it’s seen better days, with cracks and oil stains everywhere. We have a few big machines that take up most of the space. It’s a team of about ten people. We don’t wear uniforms, just old shirts that we don’t mind getting dirty. Someone is always shouting over the noise of the grinders. We make equipment for other businesses, mostly stuff that needs to be sturdy and last a long time. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to wear a nice suit. There’s a small office in the corner where the phone rings, but mostly we are out on the floor. Sometimes we stay late to finish a big order, and the boss brings in samosas for everyone. The rainy season is tough because the roof leaks a little near the back door. We put a bucket under it and keep working. We aren't trying to change the world. We just want to build things that don't break. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy. Most days are okay, some are tiring, but we manage to get everything loaded on the truck eventually.
