Altitude Drone Exterior Cleaning

Compliance

Documentation, insurance and safety governance

What we hold, what we issue, and what we can provide with a tender response or prequalification submission.

Our safety position

Altitude exists to remove a specific hazard from your maintenance program: people working at height on the outside of buildings.

Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), a person conducting a business or undertaking must eliminate risks so far as is reasonably practicable, and only minimise them where elimination is not reasonably practicable. Rope access, scaffold and elevated work platforms all minimise a fall hazard that remains present. Delivering the same works from ground level removes it.

That distinction is the reason most of our commercial and government clients engage us. It is defensible in a safety audit, in a board or committee paper, and in a tender evaluation.

WHS hierarchy of controls

Elimination Remove the hazard — the work is flown from the ground
Substitution Replace with something less hazardous
Engineering Guardrails, anchor points, platforms
Administrative Permits, training, exclusion zones
PPE Harnesses and fall arrest

Rope access and EWP methods sit in the lower three tiers. Drone-delivered cleaning operates at the top.

Residual risks are not ignored. Aircraft operation introduces its own hazards — overflight, ground exclusion, chemical handling and equipment failure. Each is assessed and controlled per site, and documented in the SWMS issued before we mobilise.

Aviation compliance

Drone cleaning is aviation work. Every job is planned and flown as a controlled operation under Civil Aviation Safety Authority rules.

Airspace assessment

Controlled airspace, helicopter landing sites, restricted areas and proximity to aerodromes are checked before every mobilisation. Where an authorisation or notification is required, we obtain it before works commence — relevant across much of the Gold Coast and inner Brisbane.

Two-person crew

A remote pilot on the controls and a dedicated observer maintaining watch on the aircraft and the ground beneath it. We do not operate single-crewed on commercial sites.

Operational limits

Wind, visibility and precipitation limits are set before the flight and adhered to. If conditions fall outside them, the works are rescheduled — we do not fly a job we cannot complete to standard.

Environmental controls

Exterior cleaning near stormwater infrastructure, waterways and landscaped areas carries environmental obligations — particularly for council and government assets.

  • Biodegradable products

    Soft-wash solutions selected for low environmental persistence, with Safety Data Sheets supplied for every product used on your site.

  • Reduced water consumption

    Targeted application uses substantially less water than high-pressure washing of the same area — relevant where water restrictions or trade waste conditions apply.

  • Runoff and vegetation management

    Garden beds and sensitive plantings pre-wetted and rinsed. Where a site drains directly to stormwater, containment measures are agreed in the scope before works begin.

  • Lower plant emissions

    No diesel boom lift or scaffold transport on site for the duration of the works, which reduces both emissions and the traffic management burden.

Working with procurement

We are set up to engage through formal channels, not just direct booking.

  • Written responses to RFQs, RFTs and EOIs, addressing evaluation criteria directly
  • Prequalification and supplier panel applications
  • Fixed-price scopes suitable for capital or operational budget approval
  • Scheduled programs across multi-site portfolios with consolidated invoicing
  • Site inductions, contractor management system onboarding and permit compliance
  • Purchase order and standard commercial payment terms
