Story

Utilising a diagonal grid of steel to achieve it’s shape, the Aldar Headquarters was the first circular building of it’s type in the Middle East. And for this distinctive, award winning building, CoxGomyl created an impressive solution for the BMU system, unlike any other in the world.

The entire machine has the ability to self level, and due to this clever design the machine appears to levitate as it travels around the perimeter. Filming from the gantry, inside the cradles and also at ground level, Olly worked with real time, time-lapse and GoPro cameras in the blazing heat, to capture all the ‘hot’ action in our two minute video. Apart from the crew feeling like they were going to melt, the heat did actually manage to melt one of our cameras! Luckily we always keep spares.

…the results got a very warm reception too!
