"Setting the pace in formwork technology" – this is the motto under which Doka will be presenting a clutch of major innovations, all aimed at making formwork assignments on the site even more efficient and at giving construction firms a sharper competitive edge.

The new shaft formwork is easy to detach from the concrete, simply by
turning spindles – and with no need for craneage. |

With its innovative form-facing - the Xlife sheet - the new framed formwork Framax Xlife gives users some decisive advantages. The sheet has a much longer life-span, withstands greater stresses and makes for a higher-quality concrete finish.
Another extremely efficient Doka innovation is the Framax stripping corner I. Used in shaft formworks, it
delivers major savings in terms of swifter repositioning. The stripping mechanism can be operated effortlessly and without any special tools. The new shaft formwork is easy to detach from the concrete, simply by turning spindles – and with no need for craneage. What is more, the shaft formwork can be repositioned as a complete system, thereby also saving valuable hours of labour.

| The Dokamatic table makes it easy to adapt quickly to widely differing slab thicknesses and shoring heights. It is also ideal for rapid forming of edge-beams and floor-slab edges. The Doka shifting appliances enable it to be repositioned very quickly, with no physical effort and with only a minimum of labour. |

With its new Dokamatic tables, Doka offers a system of ready assembled and standardised formwork units for all slab areas and shoring heights. The Dokamatic table makes it easy to adapt quickly to widely varying thicknesses of slab. Because the tables can be repositioned so quickly and laboursavingly using the Doka shifting appliances, work moves ahead very efficiently. The integrable table platforms provide users with a high level of safety. Thanks to the easily
transferable swivel-heads, changing geometrical and structural-design requirements can be accommodated very quickly.
A further innovation in the field of floor-slab formwork: Doka Xtra - the flexible manhandled formwork
system with a quick-lowering feature to facilitate early striking. The small number of different parts and the new Doka Xtra head together result in straightforward, quick-to-understand operational
sequences which greatly lessen wear-and-tear on the equipment used. A major advantage of this system is that the formwork striking operations can be scheduled
so flexibly that the site crew's workload is always evenly spread.

The Doka beam H20 top has a completely
novel end-reinforcement which gives it extraordinary durability and longevity. |

A formwork beam with outstanding durability
At many sites, the quality and durability of system components - like formwork beams, for example - have a critical influence on costs. The new Doka beam H20 top has a novel end-reinforcement that multiplies the lifespan of the beam several times over. The new beam will be used with the Dokaflex 1-2-4 floor-slab systems, the new Dokamatic table and Doka timber-beam
formworks.

| The new Climbing formwork GCS remains connected to the structure at all times while being lifted by crane. As well as enhancing safety, this also enables lifting operations to continue during high winds. |

For civil engineering professionals, Doka will be presenting novel climbing and self-climbing technologies at Bauma, which unite faster construction progress with the very highest safety standards. Particular attention should be drawn to the new Doka climbing formwork GCS, which remains connected to the structure at all times while being lifted by crane. This makes repositioning operations much safer, even where high wind-speeds are encountered.
A novel "Windshield" employs this same technology to ensure allround workplace safety on highrise projects – no matter what the weather.
For building tunnels and other projects where there are high loads that have to be safely transferred, Doka will be presenting its loadbearing tower SL-1 , a highly economical and versatile modular system. As well as on the very highest safety, of course, here too the emphasis is on faster progress of work – for example with new hydraulic heavy-duty crawler drives.
