Oslo Municipality in Norway is the first in the world to issue a public tender that requires the use of drones for facade and window cleaning. This decision comes after two years of testing drone cleaning on public buildings.
Key reasons behind the move include increased sustainability by removing personnel from hazardous work, reducing emissions, cutting cleaning time, and lowering costs.
This marks a major milestone that is expected to influence other countries. KTV Working Drone, developed in Norway, is now operative in 66 countries worldwide, and similar discussions are already underway in countries like Singapore and Japan.
Several countries are also reviewing safety regulations regarding climbers, with potential moves to ban manual high-rise cleaning due to the associated risks.
