Hemilton Engineering Company

You can find Hemilton Engineering Company tucked behind the Kesri Mata Mandir on Patel Marg. Being so close to the temple means we hear the bells and the prayers while we’re working. It’s a bit of a peaceful contrast to the engineering work we do inside. We’ve got lathes and various tools spread out across the workshop floor. It’s not a showroom, it’s a place where things get made and fixed. Patel Marg is a good spot to be, even if the road gets a bit narrow sometimes with all the parked vehicles. We’ve spent a lot of years here, and most of the locals know where we are. We don’t do much advertising; people just know to come behind the temple if they need something engineered. We keep our heads down and focus on the projects at hand. Some are small and take an hour, others take a week of measuring and cutting. We don’t have fancy air conditioning, just a few fans that move the air around when it gets stuffy. The floor is concrete and has some oil stains, but that’s expected in an engineering shop. We take pride in just being steady. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to provide for our families and do a decent job on every part that leaves the shop. It’s a simple life on Patel Marg. We open early and stay until the work is done. Usually, we wrap things up as the evening prayers start at the temple.
