Shalimar Engineering Works

We’ve been here at Gala No. 21 in Laxmi Industrial Estate for a while now. If you head down towards the fire station, you’ll find us easily. It gets pretty loud in the shop most mornings when the machines are all running at once. There’s always that smell of cutting oil and metal shavings in the air. We keep the floor as clear as we can, but it’s a busy place with a lot of parts moving around. Most of us have been working these lathes and drills for years, so we know the quirks of every piece of equipment we own. Sometimes the lights flicker when the big grinder starts up, but we just get on with it. It’s not a fancy place by any means. Just a solid workshop where we handle whatever engineering jobs come through the door. Usually, the tea guy comes by around eleven, and that’s when we take a quick breather. The fire station nearby is a good landmark for people trying to find the unit because the industrial estate can be a bit of a maze if you aren’t used to it. We just focus on the work sitting on the benches and making sure the measurements are right before things head out. It’s just how we do things here every day from Monday to Saturday.
