DRONE DEPLOY APPLICATION Levitate Aerial Imaging


Commercial drone operator Levitate Aerial Imaging has introduced a new service taking advantage of developments in artificial intelligence. The drone-generated roof report automatically identifies and measures different roof and edge types, including surface areas, valleys, flashing, ridges, parapets and eaves.


The Drone Deploy application means Levitate can quickly and safely deliver the data essential to roof repairs, condition assessments, insurance claims and photo-voltaic installations.


Multiple high-resolution overlapping images of the entire structure are captured. These geo-tagged files are merged into a single orthomosaic map, creating a very high definition aerial image that can be used to measure actual distances and areas.


The outputs include 3D point cloud DXF files which can be imported into BIM and CAD systems, resulting in actionable and more extensive data than can be collected manually.


The accompanying images provide a permanent photographic record of the roof, making it easy, safe and fast to identify and quantify slipped tiles, blocked gutters and valleys, damaged flashing, vegetation and more not visible from the ground.


By reducing the need to have personnel operate at height safety is improved, while saving money and reducing disruption by avoiding the need for cranes, cherry-pickers or scaffolding.


According to Levitate Director Rennie Campbell: “The service enables facilities and estates managers and their contractors deliver more accurate roof inspections while staying safe. The visual results are also simple to share with clients and stakeholders, making quotes and recommendations transparent and easy to justify.”

CLEANING SYSTEM HOST Von Schrader


The HOST Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaning System is the environmentally preferred carpet cleaning system. It deep cleans your carpet, reduces dust mites and mould, and leaving it fresh, clean, dry and back in use immediately.


HOST’s Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaner is a modern-day product that has evolved after more than 50 years of research. Made from 100% plant-based resources, water and safe chemistry, it is the easy, effective, safe and green carpet cleaner. Our Dry Extraction Carpet Cleaner is formulated to dissolve both water soluble and solvent soluble soils and then to absorb these soils.


The Carpet Cleaner itself is made up of millions of microscopic ‘sponges’, a unique organic material


impregnated with detergent,


water and cleaning agent. When applied to carpets or problem patches, the sponges trap and break up sticky soil, ready for the HOST Freestyle of Liberator machinery.


These machines have a powerful vacuum combined with counter- rotating brushes that remove soil and agitate the sponges so that both dry soil and the sticky patches, so the trapped and loose soil alike can be easily vacuumed.


With a minimal amount of moisture used, no lengthy drying times are required, and by removing any sticky residue the carpets do not re- soil as quickly so regular, frequent vacuuming can be more effective at keeping the carpet cleaner for longer.
