High Rise Window and Facade Cleaning

Window cleaning

High rise commercial window cleaning can be very time consuming. KTV Working Drone has developed a new more efficient and safer way of providing high rise window cleaning which is also considered faster hence reducing costs.

Facade cleaning

Many multi-storey buildings create challenges and become demanding for many professional cleaners which must adhere to strict safety protocols making such services complex. Facades come in all sorts of different materials e.g. glass, stone, copper, composite  aluminium sheets, stainless steel which require different methods and requirements  to have them cleaned. 

Window & Facade cleaning with drone

The Evolution of High Rise Window & Facade cleaning has Arrived

Up until now high rise window and facade cleaning has only been done by professional cleaning companies who specialise in abseiling, skylifts, and for smaller buildings have expensive scaffolding implemented or the use of boom and/or other lifting equipment. It has been said that high rise window cleaning is one of the six most dangerous professions. Furthermore due to the expense these tasks are done less frequently leaving windows becoming dirty for longer periods of time.

Cleaning

This method Does not harm the Panel surface

Our method developed for window cleaning is perfect for cleaning solar cell panels and this method will not harm the surface.

A major advantage of this method is that the surfaces will stay clean longer than from traditional cleaning and there is no risk of streaks.

Our intention

Our main intention is to do good and improve people’s everyday working life.

We aim to contribute to a safer work day for people who work at great heights with lifts, scaffolding and for facade climbers.

These are physically demanding jobs that cause stress injuries and involve danger every day. KTV Working Drone works specifically to help this group.

FOUNDED BY KENNET NILSEN

KTV Working Drone evolved out of the KTV Group which  was founded in 1992 by Kennet Nilsen. The focus of the KTV Group was high-pressure cleaning.

We have a strong focus on HSE and public safety in our work areas. Using drones makes for a safer working environment not only for workers but also for the public.

KTV WORKING DRONE GROWTH

In many countries more and more drones are being deployed for different industries and innovation is continuing in many industries. Drones regardless of purpose are being brought into everyday lives regardless if they are flown for fun , military or commercial reasons, the drone market globally is continually growing year in year out.

Utilising a number of solutions, KTV Working Drone is part of this growth commercialising the use of drones for the cleaning industry. By utilising a pure water cleaning system which is not only environmentally friendly but has no residue left behind or has mineral deposits that remain after evaporation. The other benefits of utilising drones for cleaning services is they limit the damages that at times is caused from walking on infrastructure and roofs where at times specialist equipment and scaffolding may be required causing additional expenses, delays and can further increase the need for safety protocols to be put in place.

KTV Working Drones provide a complete contactless solution mitigating the risks from traditional methods. Having a contactless solution can also improve the long jeopardy of building structures where small accidents are at times caused without notice and can lead to repairs in some cases many years on.

SETTING THE STANDARD FOR WORKING DRONES

KTV Working Drone evolved out of KTV Group. KTV Group was founded in 1992 by Kennet Nilsen. KTV Group have more than 30 years experience with facade and window cleaning and are experts in their field.

KTV Working Drone originated from an idea to find an innovative and efficient way to clean facades and windows. This was back in 2015. A lot of mods were needed to make the drone work properly for cleaning, also commercial. Fast forward the result is a unique drone with tailor-made and uniquely adapted mounting equipment with specially designed cleaning equipment. A patent pending safety solution to prevent the drone from falling down during operation is also developed.

The drone has been extensively tested and commercialised for use with window and facade cleaning and has been used operationally since 2020 by the KTV Group in Norway.

In 2022, KTV Working Drone was ready and the commercialising process started. Today KTV Working Drone is established almost all over the world, and the partner network is growing rapidly.

The future holds many opportunities for development for KTV Working Drone. We think our drones soon will be able to do small repairs, special inspections and even surface treatment.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

WHAT'S NEXT

  • Spray painting
    With continued development, extended testing and new partnerships with paint manufacturers, we are moving closer to the final testing fase.

  • Higher altitudes
    We have solved the operating height restriction with our patent pending roof safety system. There are no longer limitations on operation height, and we will continue the testing to be able to operate safely in heights and altitudes up to 600 meters and above.

  • Goggles
    As a result of operating in higher altitudes, the use of special flight goggles is being considered and tested.

  • Remote Control rooms
    Looking beyond 2023, KTV Working Drones is planning to create special control rooms where drone pilots can operate drones all over the world via the internet. Drone pilots will be able to provide support, provide remote tasks, work safer and be able to provide specialist service to anywhere there is service.

    Remote control rooms would be a great advantage in areas with a lot of noise, high/low temperatures, and other ‘problem’ areas.
