In a further step to adapt and enhance our product range to the local needs of our customers, Doka has started a cooperation with MFE, a leading aluminum formwork supplier, to offer a light, cost efficiency aluminum slab system.
Aluminum panel system with multiple advantages
The Doka Lightdek produced by MFE will extend Doka’s product range in slab formwork solutions. It combines multiple advantages such as weight, durability and cost efficiency. The panels are suitable for slab thicknesses of up to 650 mm with a usable lifespan of hundreds of re-uses with proper care and maintenance. The standard panel size is 1.2m x 1.8m but sizes can be customized to suit customer needs when required. They are easily erected from below, with no ladders or cranes needed. The 2-stage lowering function and crown head plate nodes prevent panels accidentally falling. Special in-fill zones are easily managed with special parts for simple integration of timber/plywood for in-fill areas around columns, beams walls, etc. Where an additional platform is required beyond the slab perimeter the Doka Lightdek can accommodate a 1.0m offset from the slab edge. This is sufficient room for post tensioning operations.
Doka is now starting a market introduction within India as the distributor for Doka Lightdek. We believe that the combined vast experience of Doka and MFE within the System Formwork Business will bring our customers strong benefits in these highly competitive times.
