Advising. Planning. Executing.We stay with you right through the entire construction process

The task of finding the optimum formwork so-

lution for a structure begins as early as in the

tendering phase. For the eventual profitability

of a construction project, this is often a make-

or-break decision. Doka staff can start inputting

their wide-ranging knowledge, and the experi-

ence amassed in the course of innumerable

projects, from a very early stage. In this way, we

successfully accompany you all the way through

your construction project.

From the lowest walls all the way up to the very highest,

from single detached homes to high-rises – adapted to

many widely varying layouts, concrete finishes and con-

struction sequences.

Floor-slab systemsFor thick or thin floor-slabs, high or low rooms, single or

repeat uses. The advantage for you: Easier to keep track

of equipment on your site; smaller number of different

components; easy, fast, safe operation by users.

are based on is site-proven components like formwork

sheets, floor props and form-ties.

Safety systemsDependable safety products such as working and pro-

tection platforms, guardrail systems and access systems

ensure optimum workplace safety on your jobsites.

Doka climbing formwork and dam formwork systems

give you very easy handling, coupled with the very

highest functional and operational safety. Construc-

tion firms from around the world put these advantag-

Steel. Aluminium. Wood. Plastics. Surfacings.Site-compatible materials for your formwork

Knowing about which materials are suitable –

steel, aluminium, wood, plastic or surfacings – and

how to process them in an efficient, environment-

friendly way, is essential if a manufacturer is to

produce formwork systems that are “fit for the site”.

With Doka formwork, you won’t be letting yourself

in for any experiments. The products’ on-site

handling, durability and low aftercosts are being

constantly optimised.
