A Journey to Guntur: Navigating Challenges in Petrol Pump Construction

Starting my first out-of-state job assignment was an exciting whirlwind of events!

My destination is #Guntur, #AndhraPradesh. But my journey began with a narrative twist: missing my train! Fast Tatkal bookings from Chh.Sambhaji Nagar to Secunderabad, then on to Guntur, set the scenario for a sequence of unexpected adventures.

When I arrived in Secunderabad, I took advantage of the early morning to eat a delicious breakfast and relax. The ensuing train journey to Guntur resulted in a night’s stay at a lodge

My mission Supervising pile foundation work on a petrol pump construction site. The difficulties began with manually drilling piles utilizing hand auger machines controlled by professional workers from West Bengal who were specifically invited  for the project.

One of the most interesting parts of this journey was immersing myself in the daily lives and works of these dedicated individuals. Interacting with them highlighted their unwavering dedication and persistent work ethic. Despite the language barrier, our shared goals allowed quick collaboration.

The construction site was full with activity, as well as careful adherence to safety regulations. The lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) prevented even safety engineers from entering specific regions, highlighting the project’s unrelenting commitment to safety.

Completing the pile foundation construction became a drama full of unexpected twists, cultural exchanges, and a thorough examination of the complexities of petrol pump building. Guntur, with its mix of obstacles and successes, now holds a particular place in my professional life.
