Keeping the Stack in Shape: American Tobacco and Lucky Strike

Talk about a birds-eye-view…

A chimney restoration crew has been onsite for the past week doing some routine maintenance to the Lucky Strike Smoke Stack. The work involved the installation of a 210′ vertical ladder and then attaching a floating work platform. The crew inspected the exterior of the stack and painted the steel rings.

Would you climb a 210′ ladder and work on a floating platform?
