Keller Ground Engineering India Pvt Ltd

Down in Balimela, Orissa, you will find us on Officer Lane. Our address is E 2 R B 96, which is part of the housing provided in this area. It’s quite far from the big cities, so things move at a different pace here. We are Keller Ground Engineering, and this site office is where we handle the local projects. The landscape around Balimela is rugged, and that’s why we are here doing ground work. The office is pretty basic, just some desks, chairs, and a lot of maps of the terrain. We spend a lot of time out in the field, so the office is often empty during the day except for one or two people. It gets quiet in the evenings on Officer Lane. We don't have fancy lights or a big reception. It's more of a functional space for engineers to sit and figure out the soil data. The walls are a bit bare, maybe a calendar or two. We drink a lot of water because of the heat. Logistics can be a challenge this far out, so we have to plan our supplies well in advance. Living and working here means you get used to the simple things. We don't have a lot of distractions like you’d find in a city office. We just focus on the drilling and the stabilization work we have to do. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it in these parts. We like the peace.
