Cast Iron Factory Located in Kolkata

As research continues, we always try to find the best materials for the TOVP construction work. Sometimes they come from Europe, South America and other faraway places. But other times we find them locally, right here in West Bengal.

Sadbhuja prabhu recently visited an iron factory in Kolkata. The factory has been operating for over 100 years and they have more than 600 workers! They also export to many other countries. In the photos we can see samples of cast iron work that the factory has produced.

Casting iron is a very versatile technique, as one can create any design at any size and thickness. The possibilities are truly endless.

The peacock design in the photo is the first sample of cast iron that will be used for the TOVP, specifically on the Prabhupada Bridge.

In general, the process of producing cast iron pieces is part of the finishing work of the TOVP.
