Palian - DSV Warehouse
It was such a blast capturing this indoor short-term timelapse project for Palian, one of the biggest names in racking and shelving production and installation in South Africa. Starting in November 2020, our cameras were shooting throughout the construction till completion in March 2021.
It is quite a feat, seeing hundreds of metres of empty space transformed to shelving space in a couple of months. With crews working around the clock this was truly a mammoth task to accomplish by Palian.
With a total of 4 cameras shooting non-stop, including additional real-time video footage, we were able to capture this impressive site to the last detail.
Boasting the most automated manufacturing plant and producing over 5 different patented products, Palian (PTY) Ltd works to the highest independent international standards which remain unmatched and annually verified by Independent PR Engineering Companies.
What a pleasure to continue to capture yet another installation, especially this new flagship facility for DSV headquarters in Gauteng.
