Welcome to the Doka Campus

bauma is once again ready to open its doors to visitors from 11 to 17 April 2016. The international formwork supplier Doka presents itself from an entirely new side: Aside from the new location with increased booth space, visitors will find a modern fair concept that is close to builders and buildings: Doka Campus. At bauma 2016, Doka will introduce its range of products and services in three areas with their own exciting themes. The World of Products presents products and services chronologically in accordance with a construction workflow. A special highlight will be live product demonstrations with champions and runners up of an international apprenticeship competition. Doka demonstrates the high art of engineering in the World of Engineering. Whether one is interested in tunnels, highrises, bridges or power stations, the right Doka Specialist for each sector is there with advice. Formwork sheets, formwork beams and floor props are on display in the World of Components.

In the tough daily routine on the construction site, speed and efficiency are increasingly becoming the crucial success factor. Doka formwork systems are optimised precisely for these factors. In autumn of 2015, Doka started its "Forming even faster" campaign. At this time it refers to three formwork systems with a proven record for faster forming times, lower wage costs and increased competitiveness. Doka customers can experience it up close in the World of Products.

Dokaflex 30 tec is a fast, versatile floor formwork for any desired layout. The system combines proven technology (floor props and secondary beam H20) with the heavy-duty Composite formwork beam I tec 20 as the primary beam.

Dokadek 30 is a beam-less, hand-set formwork system designed as a lightweight steel construction faced with a wood/plastic-composite sheet. The system combines the advantages of a panel floor formwork system with those of Dokaflex floor formwork: its 3-mē panels make it fast in typical zones, yet – because it is easily combined with Dokaflex – it is also quick and flexible in the infill zones.

Framax Xlife plus is the latest innovation of Doka's Framed formwork. The revolutionary form-tie technology that can be operated from one side and has no wearing parts ensures an even faster work pace. All plus panels are equipped with the proven characteristics of Framax Xlife. At 1.35 m, their form-tie grid is wide. Compared to a 1.20-m form-tie grid, this means up to twelve percent cost-savings on form-tie points and form-tie hole finishing work.

Visitors to Doka's booth can expect to see two new Doka products for overseas markets. With theLoad-bearing tower d3, Doka expanded its product portfolio for Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Additional market overseas introductions are already in the planning stages. The Load-bearing tower d3 is a product enhancement of a successful Doka load-bearing system and combines the benefits of existing systems.

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 presents the monolithic formwork system Doka OneGo at bauma as well. It is a system where walls and floors are cast in a single pour. It is Doka's response to the market's demand in South America, Southeast Asia and Middle East for creating cost-effective residential buildings in monolithic construction.

Formwork technology is challenged most when building highrises, bridges, tunnels and power plants. Regardless of size and complexity of the construction project, Doka delivers a precisely fitting formwork solution that is custom-made for the individual building project. The World of Engineering offers a platform where customers and prospects can discuss their individual and special challenges with Doka Specialists.

Every construction site goes through its own process. Doka takes an all-encompassing view of the construction sequence and supports the customer through all stages of a construction project – from planning to execution through to completion. At bauma, Doka shows how the service portfolio supports customers in effectively implementing the forming task and beyond. Thorough, accurate planning is the basis for fast and safe forming operations. With the support of proprietary software such as Tipos and DokaCAD, 1,000 Doka Technicians around the world help customers reduce their own planning expenditures and with successful implementation.

The innovative service of Concremote is already an indispensable partner on numerous construction sites. This technology enables real-time online measurement of both, concrete strength and temperature development. The concrete strength development, for example, enables users to calculate striking times, treatment times and prestress points. Measurement of thermal changes is important in order to monitor the stress caused by temperature differences in a component. This helps to prevent cracks and subsequent damage to the building.

Safety is of utmost priority on the site. At Doka, safe solutions are an integral part of product philosophy and boost site productivity: they meet legal standards, help prevent accidents, assist with their speed and help comply with the schedule and also with completing projects below budget. A win-win situation – especially for users. In the World of Products, Doka demonstrates the broad range of safety systems directly on the exhibit. Whether Working and protection platforms, Guardrail systems, Access systems or Tie rod systems, Doka Safety Systems yield financial benefits for construction companies in addition to being flexible and easy to use.
