The Town Hall of Mijas has initiated a pilot test with drones to clean hard-to-reach areas in municipal buildings, such as the façade of the Town Hall and the panoramic lift. The initiative aims to improve the efficiency and safety of workers.
The Town Hall of Mijas, through the Cleaning Department, has launched a pilot test with drones to clean hard-to-reach elements in public buildings. The action focuses on the panoramic lift and the side façade of the Town Hall, as reported by the Council.
The objective is to evaluate a cleaning system using drones that allows intervention on large glazed surfaces and complex areas without the need for scaffolding or hanging work. The initiative is part of the improvements included in the new cleaning contract for public buildings, awarded to the company Clece.
The Councillor for Cleaning, Eloy Belmonte, explained that the test will allow them to verify if the technology delivers the expected results. “When we launch a new contract, this is precisely what we seek: to have the best technology and all available means to improve the service we provide to residents,” he stated.
Belmonte highlighted that Mijas is taking another step towards modernising municipal services, incorporating solutions that are already being implemented in innovative administrations across the country. “We want Mijas to be a benchmark in the way public services are provided,” he affirmed.
To carry out the work, a specific safety device has been deployed, with flight authorisation, area demarcation, and a safety line, complying with regulations for drone operations in urban environments.
The group leader of Clece in Málaga, Andrés Alarcón, detailed that the system allows for faster and more efficient cleaning while reducing occupational risks. “With the drone, we avoid working at height whenever possible,” he indicated.
The drone used is connected to a treated water supply through filtration to eliminate limescale and avoid marks on the glass. Depending on the type of dirt, it can work with cold or hot water and use specific detergents for an optimal finish.
The experience will serve to assess the incorporation of the system into other municipal buildings with similar characteristics, consolidating the Town Hall's commitment to more modern and efficient public services.
