Thompson Engineering Company

We are down in the basement of Alsa Tower, occupying Shop No. 1 and 2. It’s right on Poonamallee High Road at No: 186 and 187, very close to the Taylors Road Bus Stop. Being in a basement means we don’t get much natural light, but it keeps things a bit cooler during the hot Kilpauk afternoons. Thompson Engineering Company is a small operation. We spend most of our time looking at blueprints or fixing parts that have seen better days. The bus stop outside is always crowded, so there’s a constant stream of people walking past our entrance. It’s a bit cramped in here with all the tools and equipment, but we’ve organized it so we know where everything is. We’ve been in this part of Kilpauk for quite a while. Most of our regulars just drop by because they know where to find us. It’s not the kind of place you’d go for a fancy meeting. It’s a workshop, plain and simple. We have a few old fans going to keep the air moving while we work on various engineering bits and pieces. Sometimes the noise from the traffic on Poonamallee High Road gets loud, but we’ve grown used to it. We just focus on what’s on the workbench in front of us and try to get things out the door on time. It’s honest work in a busy part of the city where we just try to keep up with the daily flow.
