Our place is out at Plot 03 in the Dahej Industrial Estate. If you’ve ever been to Dahej, you know it’s a massive area with a lot of big setups and heavy industry. We are just one small part of that whole landscape. The wind blows in from the sea and brings a bit of salt and dust with it most days. Inside the gate, things are pretty structured because they have to be for safety. We’ve got tankers moving in and out, and the shifts change like clockwork. It’s a lot of walking across the site to check on things. The canteen is where everyone catches up, mostly talking about the long commute or the weather. It’s a bit of a drive for some of us to get out here, but you get used to the road after a few months. The pipes and the towers are the main thing you see when you look out the window. It’s a lot of steel and grey paint everywhere you look. We don’t have much time for small talk when the machines are running, but the atmosphere is decent enough. Working in a place like Dahej means you’re part of a much bigger chain, though we just focus on our specific plot and what needs to get done before the sun goes down. The nights are bright with all the industrial lights, making the whole estate look like a small city. We just keep the wheels turning day in and day out.
