Eaching New Heights In A 3-day Cycle With Doka

The twin skyscrapers Petronas Towers are among the most famous highrise buildings in Kuala Lumpur. At the end of 2018, the Exchange 106 (formerly called The Signature Tower TRX) will be a new architectural highlight gracing the skyline of Malaysia’s capital city. The building will be one of the tallest in Asia and it will rank among the world’s top 15. Doka’s formwork expertise is very much in demand on this mega-project – another important milestone in highrise construction for the company

When finished in late 2018, Malaysia’s Exchange 106 will soar 492 metres into the sky. The build is under construction in the city’s new Tun Razak Exchange district, which when finished will occupy some 13,877 m² in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The district is planned to become Malaysia’s new international finance and banking centre. The design of the Exchange 106 was drafted by Mulia Group Architects. The building tapers continuously as it rises. It is topped by a 48-metre high illuminated crown made of special glass. In the dusk and at night-time the skyscraper will stand out as a unique light e™ect in Malaysia’s capital. Project owner of the new highrise building is Indonesia’s Mulia Group, which has planned the structure with 106 floors primarily as office space. The individual floors average 3,100 m² in size. There are no interior columns. Lead contractor on this build is China State Construction Engineering Corporation. Doka was selected as formwork technology partner based on its many years’ experience in highrise construction and innovative approaches. Construction work started in spring 2016.
