Formwork

Reliably casting concrete surfaces in the desired fair-faced concrete category is quite a challenge, every time. Doka has the right formwork equipment for all building-work where the surface of the concrete is intended to be a visual element. For perfect outcomes, even on details such as form-tie points and joins, Doka can offer a large number of different accessories for fair-faced concrete.

Doka offers release-agents for both smooth and absorbent formwork surfaces. They have an excellent separating effect and make for attractive concrete surfaces.

Doka panel struts and plumbing struts windproof the formwork and make it easier to plumb and align. The modular combination of plumbing struts, prop heads and prop shoes makes for optimum usability with Doka formwork systems.

Multi-trip packaging items such as containers, stacking pallets and skeleton transport boxes keep everything neat and tidy on the site, minimise the time wasted searching for parts and streamline the storage and transport of system components, small items and accessories. The stacking pallets simplify the storage and handling of floor props, folding tripods, formwork beams and sheets. The skeleton transport box is the tidy way of storing and handling lighter accessories (max. load 700 kg). For heavier accessories, there is plenty of space for these in the Multi-trip transport box (max. load 1500 kg).

Doka multi-ply formwork sheets are used in very many Doka formwork systems. The broad spectrum – ranging from DokaPly to the Xlife sheet – allows Doka to offer ideal solutions for many different requirements and cater for anything from infill zones to fair-faced concrete.

With its optimised ratio between weight and statical attributes, the Forming clamp 10-90cm is the ideal companion for all forming operations on strip footings, drop beams and garden walls.

Dependable form-ties and safe suspension points are crucial for efficient and safe usage of any formwork. For both wall formwork, single-sided formwork and climbing formwork, a complete range of field-proven form-tie solutions and suspension points is available.

Doka floor props are the right choice for every usage situation, and a sturdy 'support' in the rough-and-tumble of everyday work on the site. The anti-handtrap and anti-dropout safeguard, forged nut, galvanised finish and ergonomically shaped fastening clamp are just a few of the features of these premium tubular steel props that have convinced customers all over the world.

With its special design and its load-bearing capacity, the I tec 20 beam opens up some interesting new vistas when it comes to optimising equipment usage on the site. The plastic facing protecting the flange, and the field-proven end reinforcements from the 'top' beams, make this an extraordinarily robust formwork beam.

Doka 3-SO three-ply sheets provide the basis for many Doka formwork systems and have a wide range of uses.

Exactly round columns, in superlative fair-faced concrete quality, can be achieved using Column formwork RS.

'Supporting construction frames' enable the concreting forces to be safely transferred by way of diagonal anchors in cases where it is not possible to tie wall-formwork elements through the concrete.

Large-area formwork Top 50 is a 'construction kit' large-area formwork system that is pre-assembled on a project-specific basis and is designed to accomplish many very diverse types of task. The shape, size, tie-hole pattern and form-facing of the elements can be adapted to suit any requirement.

The lightweight Frami eco formwork, with its sturdy powder-coated steel frame, is ideal for fast and economical forming, with or without a crane.

Framax Xlife is the framed formwork system that uses only a very few different panel formats to achieve a consistent 15 cm increment-grid, no matter whether the panels are stood upright or on their sides. All the connectors and accessories fit seamlessly into this grid – making for fast forming-times and high efficiency.

Dokaflex 1-2-4 is the fast, versatile floor-slab formwork for any desired layout. The quantities are computed very simply, using the slide-rule, with no need for formwork planning. Meeting individual requirements regarding the concrete finish is no problem, as any type of form-facing can be chosen.

Dokaflex tables are easy and practical to set up and can be shifted and adapted very quickly. This makes them a cost-effective and efficient way of carrying out large-area slab projects. Dokaflex tables can of course be combined with Dokamatic tables.

The innovatively designed Dokamatic table is the fast way to form large areas of slab. The system is optimised to give short forming-times, and copes well with varying structural-design and geometrical requirements. Save on manhours and crane time: with the 'DoKart plus', the tables can easily be travelled to their next location by just one man working on his own.

The shaft platform plus shaft formwork are quick and easy to reposition, in just one crane cycle.

The Platform SCP has room for all the site equipment needed, and is enclosed on all sides for safe, weather-shielded working, even at great heights. Powerful hydraulic cylinders cranelessly raise the platform, formwork, equipment containers and concrete placing boom to the next casting section, in only one lift.

The Guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 is a system that is guided on vertical profiles fixed to the structure, even during repositioning. The entire climbing unit is safely and easily repositioned in a single crane cycle, even during high winds.

Dam formwork is used for forming one-sided construction projects, such as dams, barrages, river power stations or pylons without formwork ties. The climbing tower will transfer all pouring loads into the previous pouring section. Different system variants D12, D15, D22 and D35 facilitate economic adaptation to various project-specific block dimensions.

This cooling-tower formwork is a fully mechanised, self-climbing large-area formwork system. It maximises rationalisation and minimises manual labour – after a short familiarisation period, the crew will soon be accomplishing the casting sections in a 1-day cycle.

The climbing formwork system for structures that need the formwork elements to be moved up in several casting sections. With only two accessories, the Folding platform K can be turned into a fully functional crane-jumped formwork directly on the site.

Climbing formwork 150F is a tried-and-tested system for crane-lifted climbing projects. It is simply to set up and easy to use.

Automatic climbing formwork Xclimb 60 is a hydraulically climbed system that can also be quickly raised by crane if sufficient craneage is available. Because it is guided on the structure at all times, the system can still be climbed even in windy conditions.

The Load-bearing tower DokaShore is used for supporting e.g. bridge superstructures made of pre-cast concrete members or CIP concrete, turbine platforms and wide-spanned drive-through access openings, cost-effectively and safely.
