The tower, which according to Azizi will be the second tallest in the world, is scheduled to be completed within four years with its exact height to be announced at a later date.

It will feature a vertical shopping mall, luxury residences and opulent penthouses, a 7-star hotel, a observation deck and numerous high-end food and beverage options, among other features and amenities.

Sheikh Zayed Road is known as one of the main highways in Dubai and the road that connects the seven emirates.

“It’s a privilege to partner with one of the most prestigious global developers, Azizi, on this outstanding project. We are delighted that Doka has once again the opportunity to demonstrate its broad experience in the high-rise sector,” said Doka CEO Robert Hauser.

“Only highly experienced formwork experts can provide the right answers to the challenges of this project, from planning and engineering to operational excellence in execution.”

As the tower will be built on the prestigious Sheikh Zayed Road, the project team faces the challenges of working in limited on-site space.

Doka’s in-house workshop in Dubai will design strategically pre-assembled formwork and platform elements to meet the client’s requirements for speed, technical precision and adherence to site specifications while effectively managing the space limitations.

Doka says that the project will benefit from its expertise in providing turnkey formwork solutions, including climbing systems for core walls, climbing systems for mega columns, protection screens, slab formwork, table lifting systems, loading platforms, and slab edge protection.
