B. Electro Plating Works

Out on Old Dhamtari Road in the Boria Khurd area is where you’ll find B. Electro Plating Works. It’s a practical kind of place. We have tanks filled with solutions and pieces of metal hanging from wires everywhere. The smell of the chemicals is something you just get used to after a week of working here. I spend my time checking the parts as they come out of the baths to make sure the coating is even. It’s a lot of standing around on concrete floors, so my boots are pretty worn out. We deal with all sorts of metal items that people bring in. Some are small screws and others are big parts for machines. The shop isn't much to look at from the outside, just a plain building on the road. We have a small office where the files are kept, but I prefer being out where the work happens. The sun hits the front of the shop in the afternoon and makes it quite warm. We usually have a radio playing somewhere in the back to pass the time. It is steady, honest work that needs a lot of patience. We just keep our heads down and get the plating done right so people can take their parts back. It isn't a fast job but it is one that needs doing correctly.
