Star Coldstorage

Operating out of No. 56 Omr Road in Kalavakkam keeps us pretty busy because the traffic never seems to stop. This place is all about the temperature. We spend most of our time monitoring the gauges and making sure everything stays cold. It’s a lot of manual work, moving crates and checking the seals on the doors. The hum of the cooling units is the main sound you hear all day long. Sometimes it gets a bit loud, but you get used to it after a week or two. We handle all sorts of stuff that needs to stay frozen or chilled. It’s a practical business, nothing fancy about it. The floor is usually a bit damp from the condensation, so we have to be careful where we step. We get trucks coming in at odd hours, sometimes late at night or very early when the sun isn't even up yet. Kalavakkam is a growing area, but our corner stays focused on the logistics of storage. We don't have much of a front office, just a small desk with a lot of paperwork and some ledgers. It’s a tough job when the power fluctuates, but we have the backup generators ready to go. Our clothes usually smell like the cold air and whatever we are storing that day. It’s just steady work that needs to be done right. We just keep our heads down and watch the thermometers until the shift ends.
