S.V. Engineering Works

S.V. Engineering Works is situated at No. 7/5 on Veera Vanjinathan Street, right at the 1st Cross Street in Perungudi. It’s a corner spot that gets a bit of a breeze if the wind is right, which helps in the summer. We’ve got a workshop that’s seen a lot of use over the years. The floor is stained with oil and there are metal shavings in the corners that the broom never quite catches no matter how hard we try. We do all sorts of engineering jobs, mostly for local clients who need things fixed or custom-made parts. It’s noisy work, with the sound of grinding and welding often filling the air. We keep a small fridge for cold drinks, which is a lifesaver in the heat. There’s no air conditioning in the shop, just a few large pedestal fans that move the hot air around while we work. Most of the guys here have been working together for a long time, so we don’t need to say much to get things done. We just know the routine. Perungudi is a busy area, but our little corner on 1st Cross Street stays relatively calm compared to the main road. We don't have a fancy lobby or a website with shiny photos. People just know we're here at No. 7/5 and they bring their projects to us directly. It’s a straightforward way of doing business. We focus on the metal and the machines, and everything else takes care of itself.
