About Tata Steel Ltd – Metals & Minerals in Sundergarh
Out here at the Gomardih Dolomite Quarry, things are a bit different than the main city offices. We are based at 3R/2 in the quarters near Tunmura. It’s in the Sundargarh district of Orissa and the air smells like earth and dust most of the time. Tata Steel Ltd needs the dolomite we get from here to keep the big furnaces going back in the main plants. Life is slower but the work is physically demanding. We live where we work, pretty much. The 3R/2 address is just a small place but it serves its purpose. You get used to the sound of the machinery in the distance. When the rain comes, the roads get muddy and everything slows down even more. We don't have the big city lights here. It’s just us, the rocks, and the equipment. We keep track of what’s being pulled out of the ground and make sure it gets onto the trucks or trains. There isn't any polished corporate talk out here in the quarry. We just talk about the weather and the machinery and when the next load is leaving. It is a quiet life once the machines stop for the night. We are just a small part of a very big chain, but without this rock, there wouldn't be any steel. We just keep our heads down and get the job done every single day.
