Sharada Flyash Bricks

If you are driving down the Pune Mumbai Old Highway, you will probably see our yard over at No.11 in the Lamontana Tata Housing area. We are right opposite Pooja Garden in Vadgaon Maval. Working with flyash bricks is a bit different than the traditional red clay ones. The machines we use are pretty noisy and they kick up a lot of grit, so it is never quiet around here. We spend most of our mornings getting the mix right and making sure the pallets are stacked up properly for the next day. It is just a small crew of us running the place. We do not have any corporate background or polished speeches. We are just local people providing building blocks for other local people. A lot of folks are switching to these types of bricks now, so we stay fairly busy most weeks. Sometimes the electricity cuts out and we just have to sit around and wait, which can be a real pain when we have a big order to finish. We don't do any fancy advertising or have a big sales team. Most of our customers are just builders who stop their trucks because they saw our sign by the road. We drink a lot of tea and spend most of the day in our work clothes. It is a practical, no-nonsense business. We just focus on keeping the machine running and making sure the blocks are solid enough for the local construction jobs around the highway.
