Play video: Cleaning drone rising past a living green wall and sun-screens

Vista Drone Cleaning's tethered drone rising past a living green wall and metal sun-screen louvers on a Coral Gables high-rise. FAA Part 107 certified, $2M insured, no scaffolding.

What you are seeing

A vertical climb past the living green wall and the metal sun-screens stacked above it, two different substrates in a single pass.

Mixed substrates on one elevation are normal on Class-A residential. Planting, painted metal, stone and glass each tolerate different chemistry, which is why a single low-pressure oxygen-bleach mix was used across all of them.

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.
