Facade cleaning, Cape Town
Salt, sea spray and the south-easter leave a film on Cape Town glass that rain does not shift. SKAI cleans facades and windows from the air, with purified water and pressure set per surface.
Buildings from the Waterfront to the Atlantic Seaboard collect salt that bonds to glass and aluminium and holds moisture against seals. It is lifted with RO and DI water so the surface dries without streaks or mineral marks.
The south-easter limits when a facade can be worked. Flights are planned around wind speed and gusting at height rather than a fixed calendar, which is why the schedule is set with the building manager, not imposed on it.
Glass office towers in the CBD, apartment blocks along the seaboard, hotels, retail centres, and painted or plastered facades that need a low-pressure approach rather than a high-pressure blast.
A scaffold on a Cape Town street means permits, parking suspensions and weeks of build time. Drone access removes all three and leaves the pavement open.
Questions
In most cases yes. There is no scaffold or cradle footprint, so street occupation is normally not required.
Wind at height decides whether a flight goes ahead. Where the south-easter is too strong, work is moved rather than forced.
Yes, at low pressure. Where a coating is fragile or already failing, we say so before starting.
After a site assessment and inspection flight, based on surface area, access and how much cleaning the facade actually needs.
