This article has been supplied.(Virtual Showroom)Cleaning a high-rise building or solar farm has traditionally meant scaffolding, rope access or elevated work platforms, each bringing significant cost, disruption and safety risks. However, drone technology offers an alternative for routine cleaning of difficult-to-reach structures.

Drone Wash SA has become one of the first companies to introduce commercial drone-operated industrial cleaning services to the South African market, using a ground-based pumping system designed and built in partnership with Werner Pumps.

According to Glenn Jones, Director of Drone Wash SA, the technology has applications across a wide range of assets, including commercial buildings, stadiums, churches, warehouses, cranes, signage, wind turbines and solar farms. Instead of sending workers to dangerous heights, the system keeps operators safely on the ground while the drone delivers precisely controlled water and cleaning solutions exactly where they are needed.

For property owners and facility managers, the potential benefits extend beyond improved safety. Drone-operated cleaning can reduce disruption to building occupants and the public below, while significantly reducing the time required to complete many cleaning projects.
