Wall formwork
Instructions for assembly and use (Method statement)
DokaXlight as a hand-set formwork
The sequence shown here is based on a straight wall. However, you should always start to form from the corner outwards.
.
Transporting / handling the panels
➤ Unload panel stacks and multi-trip boxes and pallets from the truck (see the section headed 'Transporting, stacking and storing').
.
Closing the formwork
➤ Pre-assemble gang-forms 'flat on their backs' on an assembly bench (see 'Inter-panel connections').
➤ Spray the formwork sheet with release agent (see the section headed 'Cleaning and care of your equipment').
|
|
WARNING ➤ DokaXlight panels must be securely braced in every phase of the construction work! |
➤ Fix panels to the ground with plumbing struts or panel struts (see the section headed 'Plumbing accessories').
This stabilises the panels so that they cannot fall over.
|
|
NOTICE Never use a sledge-hammer to plumb and align the panels! This would damage the profiles of the gangs. ➤ Use only proper plumbing tools (e.g. a special pry-bar) that cannot cause any damage. |
➤ Continue lining up panels in this way, clamp them together (see the section headed 'Inter-panel connections') and fix them to the ground with plumbing struts or panel struts.
The panel assembly can now be exactly plumbed and aligned.
.
Erecting the opposing formwork:
Once the reinforcement has been placed, the formwork can be closed.
➤ Spray the formwork sheet of the opposing formwork with release agent.
➤ Set up the first panel of the opposing formwork.
➤ Fit the form ties (see the section headed 'Tie rod system').
Now the opposing formwork is also secured against tipping over.
➤ In the same way, carry on lining up panels, clamping them together and fitting form ties.
.
Mounting the pouring platform
➤ Install the pouring platforms and erect end-of-platform sideguards (see the section headed 'Pouring platforms with single brackets').
|
|
NOTICE Multi-panel gangs without an opposing formwork and with pouring platforms and Plumbing struts 260 must be fixed on the ground so that they cannot be dislodged. |

Pouring
|
Permitted pressure of the fresh concrete: See the section headed 'Permissible fresh-concrete pressure'. |
Observe the following guidelines:
▪ The section headed 'Pressure of fresh concrete on vertical formwork – DIN 18218' in the Calculation Guide 'Doka formwork engineering'
▪ DIN 4235 Part 2 - 'Compacting of concrete by vibrating'
|
|
NOTICE ➤ Do not exceed the maximum permissible rate of placing. |
➤ Pour the concrete.
➤ Make only moderate use of vibrators, carefully co-ordinating the times and locations of vibrator use.
.
Stripping the formwork
|
|
NOTICE ➤ Comply with the stipulated stripping times. |
➤ Beginning with the opposing formwork, dismount the panels one by one - take out the pouring platform, remove the ties and remove the connectors to the neighbouring panel.
➤ Lift the panel away and clean concrete residue off the formwork sheet (see the section headed 'Cleaning and care of your equipment').
