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.

Pylons and piers

Our extensive planning expertise and high-performing crane-climbed and automatic climbing formwork systems can handle great variability in the design of piers and pylons, of no matter what geometry, height and dimensioning.

Shoring towers

Cost-effective planning and on-time delivery of materials-optimised shoring scaffolds for transferring high loads from bridge superstructures safely and economically.

Cantilevering

Outstanding cost-efficiency and rapid equipment availability, made possible by Doka's rentable all-in-one system. Also, high certainty regarding the planning and execution, thanks to thorough project support from Doka, taking in everything from detailed planning to co-ordination with the superstructure designer to on-site support by the Competence Centre for Cantilever Construction.

Composite bridges

Cost-effective solutions for widely differing bridge geometries are achieved by using a rentable, variable, all-in- one system, and by the comprehensive project support provided by the Composite Bridge Competence Centre.

Launching-girder equipment

Project-specific planning and pre-assembly of high-performing formwork systems, and our long-standing col- laboration with leading suppliers of launching-girder equipment, mean smooth, efficient construction progress.

Incremental launching

Project-specific planning and pre-assembly of variable formwork systems for casting-yard construction, with practical formwork closing/opening logic for time- and cost-optimised workflows.

Arched bridges

Extensive planning services, and rentable formwork solutions that can be specifically tailored to the statical situation of each superstructure, for optimised load transfers and for ensuring that the project progresses to plan.

4 | Capability in bridge-building Closer to the goal, a stage at a time With Doka, active project support is a 'given'.

The aim of all Doka's preliminary services is to achieve greater efficiency by providing transparently costed and optimised formwork concepts. The sooner the Doka technicians start inputting their knowledge and experience into the project, the more efficiently it can then be carried out. With our active project support, we fulfil this aim in each successive stage of a project. As early as in the Project Development Stage, our know- In each of its stages. And by staying with the project all the way until it is successfully completed, Doka builds long-term partnerships with its how and expertise give our customers the basis on which to take well-founded decisions. customers.

Doka's range of formwork-technology offerings is among the largest and most versatile on the market. This has a lot to do with the modularly designed systems. And this, in turn, is based on decades-long experience of many different construction assignments in many different countries, across the entire architectural spectrum. What all the various Doka systems have in common is superior safety standards coupled with the very greatest efficiency and ease of handling.
