Vishwakarma Engineering & Fabrication Work

The shop is at Plot No. 25 in Ashok Vihar Phase III. We are quite close to the Radha Krishna Mandir, so you can usually hear the temple bells from where we stand. It’s a busy spot. There is always iron and steel laying around the floor and the smell of welding smoke is pretty constant. We do all sorts of metal work right here on site. Sometimes the machines act up or we run out of gas for the torches, so things can get a bit messy. It isn’t a clean place, but fabrication work never is. We’ve got grease on our clothes most of the time. The sun hits the front of the shop pretty hard in the afternoons. We started out small in this part of Ashok Vihar and just stayed. It’s a decent area, though the roads can get crowded. We handle the heavy lifting and the cutting every day. If you walk past the temple, you will probably see the sparks flying from our grinders. We don’t have a big team, just a few of us who know how to handle the tools. Most of the day is spent measuring twice and cutting once, or at least trying to. We just keep our heads down and finish the jobs as they come in. It’s simple work, mostly just sweat and metal. The floor is always covered in tiny bits of iron that get stuck in your shoes.
