Steel Engineering Works

We are located at 134 Bhosari, right on the Law College Road. It’s an interesting spot because you have the industrial side of Bhosari clashing with the student energy from the college nearby. Steel Engineering Works is basically a large garage space where we handle all the metal. We have stacks of steel rods and sheets leaning against the walls. It’s not the cleanest place, but that’s the nature of working with steel every day. The sparks from the cutters fly everywhere, so we always wear our goggles. The office part is just a small wooden cabin built inside the main hall. It has a view of the whole shop floor. We have a heavy metal door that we slide shut at night. During the day, it stays open and you can hear the traffic and the students walking past the building. The floor is stained with oil and there’s a layer of fine metal dust on almost everything. We have a small bench outside where we sit during our breaks to get some fresh air. The weather gets really hot in the summer under the metal roof, so we have a couple of large industrial fans blowing all the time. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living. We just focus on getting the steel cut and welded right for whoever needs it. There are some old coats hanging by the door.
