The work was completed in only three days, providing significant cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the project eliminated the need for personnel to work at heights or to use lifts or scaffolding, reducing project time by 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cleaning methods are bespoke, exclusively developed by us. Our SelfCleaner method is gentle, ensuring no damage to the coating during cleaning, and has been designed with a strong focus on environmental protection and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project proves that drone technology can be effectively utilized in such environments, opening up enormous opportunities for use in the oil and gas industry, both onshore and offshore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have gained valuable experience from this project and are continuing to develop specialized ATEX equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KTV Working Drone also aim to offer drone-based painting services by 2025. The oil and gas sector will be a major focus area for KTV Working Drone moving forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With KTV Working Drone, KTV Group successfully performed drone cleaning for Kaefer Energy and Equinor at the K\u00e5rst\u00f8 processing plant in Rogaland, Norway.
