Operating in 70 countries and serving 125 markets, Cargill connects farmers with markets, customers with ingredients, and families with daily essentials.
Facility Description
The project was undertaken at Cargill's facility in Bloomingburg, Ohio, focusing on the exterior maintenance of two large storage tanks. These tanks, measuring 152' x 57' and 142' x 70', are vital components of Cargill's operations in the Food and Beverage industry, contributing to their mission of connecting agricultural solutions with industrial applications.
Requested Maintenance
Cargill required comprehensive maintenance services for their storage tanks, which had become compromised by dirt and mold accumulation. The scope of work included cleaning, priming, and painting these structures, alongside the intricate installation of a large Cargill logo, ensuring both functionality and brand visibility.
Decision Driver and Timing
The primary motivation for this project stemmed from the need to address the compromised cleanliness and structural integrity of the storage tanks. The accumulation of dirt and mold not only affected the tanks aesthetically but could potentially impact their longevity and Cargill's operational efficiency.
Scope of Work
The project entailed an extensive cleaning process to remove all traces of dirt and mold from the tank surfaces. This was followed by a meticulous priming and painting procedure to protect and preserve the tanks' integrity. A significant aspect of this project was the installation of a large Cargill logo, requiring the use of 150' booms to facilitate the high-precision work. The project was executed with careful planning to ensure minimal disruption to Cargill's ongoing operations.
