KTV Working Drone Germany recently had the exciting opportunity to conduct an innovative test project with Axpo, Switzerland’s largest energy producer. For the first time ever, some parts of the Gigerwald dam were cleaned using our KTV Working Drone, utilizing high-pressure and hot water.
The test took place on the water-facing side of the over 100-meter-high dam. The dam had been drained due to construction work, providing a unique opportunity to deploy our technology.
The background: Axpo is creating a precise 3D model of the dam to identify potential cracks or structural risks. This was an interesting use case for Axpo and KTV, because cleaning the surface ahead of creating a 3D model of the surface, makes it easier to identify potential cracks or structural risks afterwards.
This test proves that our drone isn’t just for cleaning windows and high-rise buildings, it can tackle much bigger challenges!
The proof of concept was a success. Our drone completed the cleaning flawlessly! Now, we eagerly await the final results.
