Eureka Engineering Works

Our workshop is at No. 138/1 Acharya Prafulla Chandra Road. Most people just call it APC Road. We are really close to the Karbala Masjid, which is a good landmark if you're trying to find us for the first time. It’s an old-school engineering shop. We have a few lathes, a milling machine, and a lot of hand tools that have seen better days but still work perfectly. The floor is almost always covered in a thin layer of oil and metal shavings. You have to be careful where you step. It’s loud in here because there is usually someone grinding metal or hammering something into shape. We do a lot of custom repair work for local factories and sometimes for people who just have a broken part they can't find a replacement for. It’s dirty work and our hands are usually stained with grease by ten in the morning. We don’t have an office staff; if the phone rings, one of us just wipes our hands on a rag and picks it up. The heat from the welding can get intense in the summer, so we take a lot of breaks by the door to get some air. APC Road is always packed with traffic, so there's a constant drone of engines in the background. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we don't plan on changing much. It’s just honest shop work. We usually stay open until the sun goes down, just finishing up whatever piece of steel is on the bench.
