Accurate strength measurement from Doka

With the Load-bearing tower d3, 203 Doka is expanding its product portfolio for Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Load-bearing tower d3 is a product enhancement of a successful Doka load-bearing system and combines the benefits of existing systems. The d3 is designed for particularly tall shoring heights and high loads. Applications are in building construction as well as civil and industrial construction.

It is not required to dismantle and reassemble the shoring towers for repositioning and manual reposition is possible with the help of wheels. Height can be adjusted as hot dip galvanised frames are available in 0.9m 1.2m and 1.8m height. Height adjustment is possible to the last millimetre.

Also, the Doka UniKit shoring system was developed for the Latin American markets. Doka UniKit is the ideal modular system for transferring heavy loads. With the modular system grid, large-volume load-bearing structures are produced quickly and easily. It allows for a variety of uses such as infrastructure and power plant builds.

Doka’s stripped-back d3 tower for emerging markets

In 2015, formwork specialist Doka’s turnover passed the euro1billion mark – and over half of that came from outside Europe. It is perhaps not surprising that it is devoting some of the 200,000 hours a year it spends on R&D to adapting existing products for new global markets. At bauma 2016, Doka is showcasing one such product: the Load-bearing tower d3, aimed at emerging markets. It has designed the d3 for heavy loads, high shoring heights, and many different configurations to provide flexibility. “W

Doka’s UniKit is a quick way to support heavy concrete pours

Doka’s new UniKit is a modular shoring system for heavy civil engineering applications. Designed to be quick and easy to erect in a number of different configurations, UniKit provides a steel-girder like structure which can support loads from bridge deck or beam concrete pours. “It’s an efficient way to construct infrastructure without stopping existing infrastructure – such as roads – running underneath,” said Doka’s director of research and development Johann Peneder.
