    Understanding the concreting results. Experience the fascination. The Formwork Experts. Concrete expression of individuality With system and project-based formwork A clear trend is 'surfacing' in the language of architecture, towards concepts that are as individual as they are unique. Buildings convey interesting forms of expression to both the inside and outside. Cast-in-place concrete creates extra leeway for architecture. We work with our customers to develop holistic solutions for concrete technology, formwork technology, concrete installation and compaction - all customized to the requirements of the structure. We offer proven modular systems and project-based formwork for various surface design elements such as increment-grids, joints and texture. Find out more on our website: www.doka.com/sichtbeton 2 Project success assured With active support throughout all project stages The experience gathered from hundreds of fair-faced concrete projects taught us: Each construction project is unique!

  • Capability in Bridge‑Building
    The Formwork Experts. Capability in bridge‑building How you get there makes all the difference. www.doka.com The advantages are there for the taking The facts decide. Doka is firmly committed to building its formwork-technology lead. This is why it keeps on developing measures to boost construction efficiency, and energetically putting these into practice. Firstly in formwork systems, and secondly in the technical services to go with them. A Doka formwork solution is always a package that gives our customers tangible benefit and added value. We have a client-orientated mindset and 'build bridges' to the goals that our customers have. As a pathbreaking formwork manufacturer, we take an all-encompassing view of the construction sequence. Formwork planning and formwork statical calculations are just as much a part of our spectrum of services as are formwork pre-assembly and the subsequent return procedures for rented formwork. Only a seamless, end-to-end formwork concept will deliver the best results. The mere fact of dealing with just one partner for all the formwork ensures that the interfaces are well co-ordinated and work together smoothly. Bridge-building makes particularly exacting demands in terms of construction-engineering and statical knowledge, quality and precision. Our experience as a formwork partner stands on firm pillars. The bridge from knowledge to experience Our capabilities have a wide span. We focus on the formwork-engineering challenges right from the design phase. Even at this early stage, we start contributing our knowledge to enable the works to be carried out swiftly, efficiently and economically. We bring much more to the table as well: the solution, in terms of the right formwork system.
