Doka Powers Vertical Progress at Century City Project

 


Doka played a key role in shaping Century City, a visionary mixed-use development in the heart of Surrey, British Columbia, by delivering advanced formwork solutions for its high-rise residential towers.

Century City, master-planned by Century Group and designed by ZGF Architects LLP, is redefining what it means to live in balance with nature. The towers feature 4 levels of indoor amenities, sweeping views, and direct access to vast outdoor parklands, ushering in a new model for sustainable, lifestyle-oriented urban design.

In collaboration with CWL Contracting Ltd, Doka provided formwork systems across both towers. The most recent tower, a 39-storey high-rise spanning nearly 3,700 m2, broke ground in 2023 and is scheduled for completion in 2025. For this phase, Doka supplied its high-performance Top 50 wall system, trusses, column forms, and the innovative Super Climber SCP system, a standout solution tailored to the project's unique challenges.

Construction at the Century City site required smart, adaptable solutions due to a range of logistical and environmental constraints. The limited crane availability and high wind exposure demanded a formwork system that could deliver speed and resilience without relying heavily on crane cycles.

Doka’s Super Climber SCP system allowed vertical construction to progress safely and efficiently, even during high-wind conditions. By reducing manpower needs on vertical forming days and minimizing crane dependency, the SCP solution helped keep the project on track and aligned with its aggressive schedule.

Behind the scenes, Doka’s technical design, procurement, and pre-assembly teams worked in lockstep to ensure seamless delivery and integration of the formwork systems. On site, Doka’s field service technicians played a crucial role, providing hands-on support and troubleshooting in real time.

This cross-functional partnership between Doka and CWL Contracting LTD has led to high praise from stakeholders, reinforcing Doka’s position as a trusted, solution-oriented partner in high-rise residential construction.

"We are proud to be part of the Century City project, a development that embodies forward-thinking design, community wellness, and sustainability,” says Gunnar Falke, CEO of Doka Canada. “Our solutions were engineered to meet the demands of a complex site while helping our customer stay on schedule and on budget. This project is a testament to the Doka team's commitment to collaborating with our partners and delivering when they need it most."
