Pravin Engineering Works

Being located near the Gota Railway Crossing means we hear the trains go by all the time. It’s a sound we’ve gotten used to here at Pravin Engineering Works. We are right by the ice factory, which is a good landmark for people trying to find us for the first time. The workshop is full of scrap metal, old drill bits, and various projects in different stages of being finished. It’s not the neatest place, but we know exactly where every tool is kept. I usually open up the shutters early to let some fresh air in before the Gota heat really kicks in. We handle a lot of engineering repairs and small fabrication jobs for the local people and some businesses around the crossing. There’s always someone stopping by to ask if we can weld a gate or fix a bracket. We don't have a website or any fancy brochures. Most of our work comes from people who just know us from being in the neighborhood for so long. The grease gets under your fingernails and stays there, no matter how much you scrub. It’s honest work and we take it as it comes. Sometimes the railway gates are closed for a long time and the traffic piles up outside, giving us a bit of a quiet moment to drink some water and prepare for the next job on the list. We just keep the machines running and do what needs to be done every day.
