Industry Safety Data

TRADITIONAL CLEANING
KILLS WORKERS.

Falls from height are the leading cause of death in the construction and building services industries. Every year, workers die cleaning the same buildings SkyClean services — without a single person leaving the ground.

The SkyClean Difference

ZERO WORKERS AT HEIGHT.
ZERO INCIDENTS. EVER.

Since our first job, SkyClean Hawaii has completed every project without a single worker injury, property damage incident, or regulatory violation. Our drone-only approach doesn't just reduce risk — it eliminates the entire category of at-height worker exposure.

Waikiki High-Rise: 40% Cost Reduction on Annual Exterior Maintenance
Commercial Exterior

"SkyClean cut our annual exterior maintenance budget by 40%. The drone approach means no tenant complaints about scaffolding, and the results are consistently better than what we were getting before."

The Challenge

A 14-story commercial building in Waikiki was spending over $80,000 annually on exterior cleaning using traditional rope-access crews. The process required 3–4 days of scaffolding setup, caused repeated tenant complaints about noise and blocked views, and still produced inconsistent results — with upper floors often under-cleaned due to wind conditions.

The Solution

SkyClean conducted a full LiDAR scan and built a centimeter-accurate 3D flight map of the building. The Lucid Bots Sherpa executed the complete exterior clean autonomously in a single day — glass, concrete, and metal cladding — using ionized water throughout. A simultaneous thermal scan identified two HVAC air leaks and a section of compromised window sealing that had gone undetected.

Commercial Solar Array: 22% Output Restored in a Single Clean
Solar Panel Cleaning

"Our solar array was producing 22% below spec. After one SkyClean service, we were back to full output within a week. The ROI on a single cleaning paid for six months of service."

The Challenge

A 480-panel rooftop solar array on a commercial warehouse in Kapolei had been producing 22% below its rated output for several months. The property manager had delayed cleaning due to concerns about workers on the roof and the cost of manual panel cleaning. The underperformance was costing the business approximately $1,800/month in lost energy production.

The Solution

SkyClean cleaned the entire 480-panel array using the Sherpa drone with ionized water — no workers on the roof, no risk of panel damage from foot traffic. The job was completed in under 4 hours. Pre- and post-clean output measurements were taken using the facility's existing monitoring system.

Maui Kai HOA: Liability Eliminated, Maintenance Costs Halved

The Challenge

A 120-unit residential complex on Oahu had been managing exterior cleaning through a traditional pressure washing contractor. The HOA board's primary concern was liability — their previous contractor had a worker fall from a ladder during a routine cleaning job, resulting in a workers' compensation claim and a temporary halt to all exterior maintenance. Insurance premiums had increased as a result.

The Solution

SkyClean replaced the traditional contractor with a quarterly drone cleaning program covering all building exteriors, walkways, and common area surfaces. The drone-only approach eliminated all at-height work. SkyClean provided a certificate of insurance naming the HOA as an additional insured, and delivered full service documentation after every visit.
