Drone Warehouse and Logistics Facility Cleaning
Large-area coverage across warehouses and distribution centres, with consistent methodology across facility networks.
Overview
Logistics centres have extensive roofs and cladding with poor accessibility and constant vehicle movement. Drone cleaning enables large-area coverage with limited ground installation.
TERRABONA plans projects so loading bays and vehicle routes remain operational.

Frequently asked questions
Can a network of warehouses be covered?
Yes. Networks are handled as a multi-site programme with unified documentation.
Are rooflights affected?
Rooflights are assessed separately and cleaned at low pressure where deemed safe.
