Kazan Property Managers Buy Robots to Clean Residential Courtyards
Property management companies in Kazan have purchased 28 autonomous cleaning robots for use in residential courtyards. The machines are expected to be delivered within a month.
The robots were purchased to help address a staffing shortage. Major property management companies currently employ more than 1,300 street cleaners, who maintain around 4,200 residential buildings. Under staffing standards, nearly 2,200 workers are needed to clean the surrounding grounds, which cover approximately 15.5 million square meters. The current shortfall is 877 workers.
The city has also prepared 239 pieces of specialized equipment for courtyard maintenance, including tractors fitted with plows and brushes, skid-steer loaders, and auger-rotary snow blowers. Another 10 machines will be rented for the winter season. The city has stockpiled 5,500 metric tons of deicing agents and sand-and-salt mix, with supplies to be replenished as needed.
