As Engineering Fabrication Works

The workshop is over in the F-16/3 area of the MIDC in Chikalthana. It is an industrial part of town, so you hear a lot of noise from the other units nearby all day long. We have been here for a while now, doing mostly metal work and basic fabrication. There is always a pile of iron rods or steel sheets waiting to be cut or joined together. Our floor is concrete and usually covered in little bits of metal scraps and dust from the grinding wheel. When the welding starts, the whole place lights up with those blue sparks, and you have to make sure you're wearing your mask or you'll hurt your eyes. It gets quite hot in here during the summer months because of the roof and the machines running, but we just keep the fans going and get on with the job. People bring us sketches or just tell us what they need, like a gate or a storage rack, and we get to work on it. We don't have a big fancy office or anything like that. Just a desk in the corner where we keep the papers and some tools hanging on the walls. Most of the time we are out on the floor working with our hands. It is a simple life and the work is hard, but it’s what we know how to do here at As Engineering Fabrication Works.
