CIBC Square - Largest Commercial Project in Canada
CIBC Square will soon be part of the Toronto scene. As a multiphase commercial office complex comprised of two towers, it also contains a one-acre elevated park which will connect the two buildings. The first of the two towers, 81 Bay Street, will have 49 floors and contain 1.5 million square feet of state-of-the-art offices and collaborative spaces. The construction of the tower is using a 7.1-meter custom Doka Super Climber SCP self-climbing platform.
DokaXlight - The new aluminum framed formwork
DokaXlight is the lightest framed formwork in the Doka product range and, best of all, impresses by combining very low weight with a high degree of durability. In addition to its low weight, the integrated handles also make the formwork easier to manipulate, so you can “take it easy” with DokaXlight.
Experience formwork solutions
In February 2019, Doka Canada participated for the first time at the Canadian Concrete Expo, it is the only national trade show for the concrete construction industry. An AR/VR demo was offered at the reception table. At the stripping corner station in the front part of the exhibition stand, staff showed the use of Framax Xlife, Frami Xlife and a hydraulic unit throughout the day.
The highlight at the booth was Ultradek. Nearly every middle to large size forming contractor was interested in the new system and requested additional technical information about the system. We’ll be back – visit us at the Canadian Concrete Expo 2020!
Burrard Place - Success in highrise building in Vancouver
In Vancouver, British Columbia, a new residential building will rise to cover a full city block. When complete, the structure will be the third tallest residential tower standing in Vancouver, at 54 storeys. Doka provided hydraulic Xclimb 60 platforms to carry custom column and slab edge formwork.
DokaXact - Forming with pin-point precision
DokaXact is the first interactive sensor-based system for precise positioning of wall formwork elements for highrise cores. With this new product, Doka offers an important component for digitizing construction site processes and in doing so takes an important step toward smart construction sites.
