CAMPBELL’S Australasia, part of The Arnott’s Group, has been a part of the Shepparton community for more than 60 years, making high quality soups, stocks, broths and juices sourced from local and Australian food producers.
Recently, the iconic 43-metres-tall Campbell’s Soup Can tower holding the giant 10m tall can was washed.
Stationed outside Arnott’s Group factory in Shepparton, the soup can is actually a water tank used for holding and maintaining constant potable water supply for factory use, with a capacity of 275,000L.
The factory engaged Cleanaway Industrial Services for the lofty job of undertaking scheduled maintenance on the beloved can, and together with Quicklift Crane Hire, they were able to successfully complete the task.
Chad Styles, branch manager from Cleanaway said they jumped at the opportunity to be involved in a unique job like this.
“It’s not every day you’re asked to clean out a soup can, and while it took some planning to accommodate the working at heights risk and confined space control measures, we were pleased with how it panned out.”
The job required a 60t crane to lift personnel and their equipment up and into the soup can, a staggering 30 meters off the ground.
The clean out is done as part of scheduled maintenance inspection or as required as part of general site maintenance.
