Sri Sai Ganesh Earth Movers

You can find us in Chilkangar, right near the Poochamma Temple in Uppal. Sri Sai Ganesh Earth Movers has been operating from this spot for quite a while. The neighborhood is always active. Being near the temple means there are always people walking by, especially during the festivals when things get really crowded. We keep our equipment parked nearby when it isn't out on a construction site. Digging foundations and clearing land is what we do every day. It is noisy and there is always a lot of dust flying around. The operators have to be careful with the narrow lanes around here. Sometimes we have to wait for the traffic to clear before we can move the bigger machines out onto the main road. We don't have a fancy reception area. If someone needs a job done, they usually just walk up to the gate or call us on the mobile. We write down the dates in a dusty ledger we keep in the shed. It gets very hot in the afternoons, so we try to get the heavy work done early. The machines need a lot of grease and attention. We do most of the maintenance ourselves right there in the yard because mechanics are expensive. It isn't a glamorous business, but there is always someone building a new house or fixing a pipe in Uppal. We just provide the muscle for those projects. That is basically our life here in this corner of the city.
