Located at one of North Sydney’s most prestigious addresses, we take a closer look at how Doka’s formwork and engineering expertise have helped to deliver this atmospheric high-rise with some of the finest views in the city.

Fuelled by a flurry on inbound investments, we take a look at how material rental is just one of the ways developers and contractors are optimising profits as Australia’s construction industry booms.

Why Doka Australia’s emphasis on providing a broader spectrum of products and services has helped optimise cost, efficiency, and safety for Australia’s residential, commercial and infrastructure projects.

Doka, one of the world's leading suppliers of formwork with headquarters in Amstetten, Austria, completed the 100% acquisition of scaffolding manufacturer AT-PAC. Both companies initially partnered in 2020 to provide comprehensive global site solutions. The acquisition positions Doka as a single source for formwork and scaffolding for the global construction industry and strengthens the company’s new global business segment, "Industrial Scaffolding". For AT-PAC this means full access to a global market.

After identifying the extensive benefits of working together, Doka and Lubeca’s partnership has grown to become a formula for success the world over.

From 08 to 14 April 2019, bauma, the world's largest construction machinery equipment trade fair will once again be opening its doors. Under the heading "Our contribution to increase productivity on the construction site", the Doka Campus will be presenting the most recent products, services and innovations from the world of formwork on a 4,700 m² booth.

In the heart of Frankfurt's financial district, the OMNITURM tower is currently rising skyward. The almost rectilinear glass tower will bring action to the city's skyline, because at about half-height the tower describes what could be called "a shift of the hip". For this spiralling shift of the building's axis, Doka developed a new protection screen that can tilt forward backward and sideways to 21 °.

Competence at any height

Every highrise is unique – as is the associated formwork solution. Competence is crucial for developing a custom formwork solution. In the highrise sector Doka has more than 40 years' experience with self-climbing formwork. This year, the company will successfully carry out its 1,000th highrise project. Right now, one of the projects is the Central Park Tower in New York, the world's tallest residential building.

High speed on two wheels. That's what has made Upper Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM world-famous. But right now at company HQ in Mattighofen, the howl of high-revving motorbike engines is overlaid by the low growl of construction machinery. On a 9,500 m2 site, work on the new KTM museum is in progress and should be finished by the end of 2018. The formwork for the unusual, ellipsoid-shaped building is all by formwork specialist Doka. Good handling and a superb fair-faced concrete finish are the essentials.
