Kohli Engineers Fabricators

If you come down to Shakarpur 203, you’ll hear us before you see us. There is always the sound of metal hitting metal or the hum of the welding machines going. It’s a messy job, fabrication. We spend most of our time covered in a bit of soot or grease, working on whatever project came in that week. The shop isn't big, but we use every inch of the floor space. Sometimes there are pipes piled up in one corner and flat sheets in another. We’ve been at this for a long time, so we know the quirks of the old machines we use. It’s just me and a couple of other guys usually. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that; you just walk in and talk to whoever isn't wearing a welding mask at the moment. The neighborhood is crowded, and getting big deliveries in can be a headache, but we make it work. We fix things, we build things from scratch, and we mostly just focus on the task right in front of us. There’s no air conditioning, just a big fan that moves the warm air around while we work. It’s honest work, and we like the feeling of finishing a piece and seeing it ready to go out. We don’t spend much time on the computer, just enough to check some drawings or settle a bill.
