Safer by design
Our drones handle the high-access work while your team operates from the ground.
With built-in collision detection and surface mapping, the hardware handles the proximity; your pilot just handles the cleaning.
Intelligent efficiency
Get in the air and start cleaning immediately.
Manual control gives your operator the precision to stay on stubborn areas and skip the clean ones, so you don't waste water or time. You finish the job in a fraction of the time it takes to set up a boom-arm or rig.
Leaner logistics
Ditch the heavy lifts. Drones eliminate the risk of hydraulic leaks and cut down on-site congestion.
It’s a straightforward way to handle maintenance with less water waste and a much smaller logistical footprint.

High Pressure Cleaning vs Soft Wash
What's the difference and does it matter?
When people first think of cleaning or wash drones, they immediately think of a pressure washer like you'd clean your car or patio with - but in the sky. Likewise, many less reputable manufacturers will sell you just that - a basic drone with a pressure washer attached.
There is more to cleaning than that.
Pressure washing is brute force, which to be clear, has a time and a place. Our drones are capable of outputting up to an impressive 345 bar of pressure when used with our rifled nozzles.
Does that mean we recommend their use in every occasion? Absolutely not.
Soft Washing is cleaning with a lower pressure but high flow rate, sometimes using chemicals - but at other times, using deionised water with maybe a little warmth to help remove particulates. Then as a preventative or on-going treatment, a fungicide or algicide can be sprayed to keep a surface cleaner for longer.
Regional laws regarding chemical usage vary by location. At Aspira Aerial Applications, we are experts at guiding you through these restrictions to ensure your operating procedures are fully compliant.
So the other question is, why use a soft wash?
First, it's less aggressive and abrasive. Leading edge protection on wind turbine blades can be damaged with high pressure. The warranty on solar panels is usually invalidated if a high pressure system is used on them. With older buildings, you don't want to be hitting them with huge pressure either - not when there are alternatives that achieve the same results.
