Stone Technology Centre

We are located in Rastogi House, which is right by Vivekanand Marg in the C Scheme area. It’s a busy part of town, so there is always something going on outside our windows. This place isn't a factory or a big warehouse. It is more of a spot where we deal with the technical side of stone. We spend a lot of time looking at samples and talking about how different materials behave. People come to us when they have questions about stone that go beyond just how it looks. We look at the strength, the way it absorbs water, and how it might hold up over time. It’s a bit of a niche thing, but someone has to do it. The office is often full of folders and small pieces of rock scattered on the desks. We’ve been at this C Scheme location for a while, and most of the regulars know exactly where to find us. It’s a bit cramped sometimes with all the stuff we have to store, but it works for us. We don’t have a big sign out front or anything like that. It’s mostly just us working through the details of various projects. Most days involve a lot of phone calls and checking data. It’s not the most exciting work to everyone, but it’s important for making sure buildings stay standing and look right. We just take it one sample at a time and try to be as thorough as we can be. Dealing with the science of rocks is just our daily routine.
