Vega Controls

We’re out at Survey No. 81, Plot No. 3, along the NDA Road in Shivane. It’s part of the Haveli taluka. The area has a bit of an industrial feel, and we’re right in the thick of it. Our building is a practical shed-like structure where we handle all the control systems work. Inside, it’s mostly metal benches, tools, and various control panels in different stages of being put together. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, as there’s always a bit of grease or some metal filings around. We’ve got some heavy machinery for the bigger parts of the jobs. The NDA Road can get quite congested with trucks and traffic, so we hear the honking all day long. We don’t have an HR department or anything like that. If there’s a problem, we just talk it out over a cup of tea. We’ve been here for several years now, and the team is mostly local people who know their way around a control valve or a switchboard. We spend a lot of time on our feet, moving between the different workstations. It’s a lot of physical work and sometimes our hands get pretty dirty by the end of the shift. We aren’t trying to impress anyone with a shiny office; we just want to make sure the controls we build actually work when they get to the site. It is a gritty, honest way to make a living.
