Play video: Drone Facade Cleaning in Miami | Breeze-Block Hotel Facade, Coral Gables

Vista Drone Cleaning's tethered drone soft-washing a decorative breeze-block screen on the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables, a six-story hotel that stayed open the whole time. FAA Part 107 certified and $2M insured.

What you are seeing

The drone holds off a corner of the building and sprays into the decorative breeze-block screen that runs up it, the mist drifting out over the trees below. The tether runs from the drone down to the truck rig and carries water, not power.

A breeze-block screen is all openings and inside edges. A low-pressure spray from the air reaches into the pattern and the rinse runs down through it, with nothing touching the block.

About this project

This footage was filmed at the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables, a six-story, L-shaped hotel on S Le Jeune Rd. Vista Drone Cleaning soft-washed the facade on every elevation and cleaned every exterior window, roughly 60,000 sq ft, in 3 days on site, one elevation at a time, with the hotel open throughout: no lifts, no scaffolding and no rope access.

• Tethered soft-wash drone on the upper facade, water-fed poles at the lower levels.
• Every exterior window finished with deionized water, so it dries spot-free.
• About $0.13 per sq ft for the facade and every window.
• Flown under FAA Part 107 with $2M liability coverage.
• The hotel asked Vista back every year.
