Play video: Cleaning drone flying over the street to a high-rise facade

Vista Drone Cleaning's tethered drone crossing the street to reach a Coral Gables high-rise facade for exterior soft-wash cleaning.

What you are seeing

A brief transit out over the street and back to the facade line, with the ground crew, hose and traffic cones staged on the sidewalk below.

Every flight on this campus ran under FAA Part 107 with LAANC airspace authorization where required, flown by a certificated remote pilot with the crew on the ground and $2M liability in force.

About this project

This footage was filmed at Belmont Village Coral Gables, an occupied senior-living high-rise developed in collaboration with Baptist Health South Florida. Vista Drone Cleaning cleaned more than 130,000 square feet of exterior (facade, windows, floor surfaces and the parapet) at $0.20 per square foot, all in, in seven days, with the building fully occupied throughout: no scaffolding, no swing stages, no rope access, no lifts, and no closed sidewalks, drop-off lanes, or entrances.

• Tethered soft-wash drone to 200 ft, plus a 70 ft water-fed pole from grade, about 18 stories.
• Heated sodium percarbonate (oxygen bleach), so no sodium hypochlorite, no chlorine odor and no plant kill at grade.
• Flown under FAA Part 107 with $2M liability insurance in force.
• Management asked Vista back on a semi-annual schedule, twice a year.
