Melbourne offices are joining the MCG and Marvel Stadium in getting washed by drones in an Australian first. Facility services company FAMASO has introduced cutting-edge drone technology by Norwegian company KTV Working Drones as a “new revolutionary method of cleaning” the city’s commercial buildings.
Facilitated by Colliers, property developer Vicland was the first to use the technology to clean the exterior of one of their office buildings, St Germain in Toorak.
The drones have also run demonstrations cleaning both the MCG and Marvel Stadium in the past few weeks.
FAMASO director Mikhil Kotak said he didn’t hesitate paying the non-refundable fee to secure the rights to bring KTV Working Drones to Australia.
“Powered by rechargeable battery packs, these drones are as environmentally friendly as they come, using minimal water and no harsh cleaning agents,” Mr Kotak said. “Traditional facade washing is a slower process resulting in more water wastage. Drones have the ability to wash the facade and glass at the same time, which allows for better building maintenance over time compared to the traditional method.”
