Hindustan Construction Company Limited

We are based out here in Lakhtar at the SBC Project site. The address is just the project office near the post office in the Surendranagar district of Gujarat. It is definitely a bit out of the way, but that is simply where the work takes us. The office is a temporary setup, basically a small building or a cabin meant to last only as long as this specific project does. It gets incredibly dusty because of all the heavy trucks moving back and forth outside all day long. We have to wipe down our desks every single morning or we can't even see our paperwork. It is a tough environment to work in, especially when the sun is beating down on the metal roof and the heat builds up. We mostly deal with the day-to-day operations of this project. There are maps of the canal and the local land pinned to every available inch of wall space. We don't have much in the way of comforts here. The water cooler is probably the most popular spot in the whole office. We spend our time checking on the heavy machinery and making sure the labor crews have what they need to stay on schedule. It involves a lot of coordination with the local people and authorities too. Life here is simple and revolves entirely around the construction progress. When the project eventually finishes, we will pack up and move to the next one.
