1 The Formwork Experts. Capability in highrise construction The safe way to great heights.

2 A firm focus on quantifiable customer-benefit First understand, then act. The starting point for our formwork solutions is that we identify so closely with our customers' specific needs. No one formwork project is like any other. This is why flexibility comes naturally to us, leading in turn to project-orientated formwork products and services of which we have over 30 years' experience in the highrise field. The success of a building project very much depends upon optimising the construction workflow. This is what everything at Doka is rigorously focused on: The in-depth advice and consulting. The detailed planning. The technical implementation of the formwork solution. The A-to-Z project support. Working closely with our customers, the overriding objective is always to bring about quantifiable benefits in terms of e.g. potential savings in construction times and costs. The challenges faced by the Doka Formwork Experts are as unusual as the projects that they carry out with their formwork solutions. Their precise mastery of the engineering and logistical aspects is a fundamental precondition for safety, economic viability and deadline-keeping.

3 Capability in height and breadth Our solutions have method behind them. Our broad range of system and service offerings, all tailored to the special requirements of the highrise sector, enables us to offer our customers the ideal formwork solution for any construction method. Project-related advice and consulting Our consulting is based on detailed analysis of the project-specific parameters and of the customer's requirements. Specifically, this may be seen in the collaborative approach taken to selecting the most efficient construction method and the optimum construction sequence always having regard to the site infrastructure and logistics. Our internationally networked experts from the Automatic Climbing Formwork Competence Centre also exercise a consulting function. The capability that comes from 30 years of experience in the highrise sector, with more than 500 automatic climbing projects to Doka's credit all around the world, are the practical qualification underlying the professional advice and consulting that we provide. Goal-oriented planning At Doka, planning is an all-embracing package of products and services. It includes detailed formwork planning. Planning of the commissioning quantities. Precise timing and sequencing of the deliveries. Planning the formwork pre-assembly. Efficient cycle planning. Planning the dismantling and return of the formwork. Professional instruction of the site crew by experienced Doka Formwork Instructors. The technically challenging task of project coordination, performed by a Doka project manager so as to take the pressure off our customers' Site Management. Worldwide availability With its efficient, high-capacity rental parks and continental logistics hubs, our tightly meshed worldwide branch network gives you the certainty that the equipment for our formwork solutions will be available rapidly and delivered just-in-time. To ensure that our formwork systems always give uncompromised functionality, we systematically maintain them to consistently high quality standards. This is because functional fitness and operational safety are just two sides of the same coin. Pathbreaking solutions In partnership with our customers, we develop new methods that bring with them new opportunities for boosting cost efficiency on highrise projects still further. The spectrum for innovative approaches is wide, ranging from cranes and concrete placing booms that are climbed along with the formwork, to protection screens for building demolition, to real-time measurement of concrete strength. New steps are also being taken with the intelligent formwork concepts for subsequent fitting of architectural facing elements and more such steps will follow. 4 Capability in highrise construction

4 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. 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 knowhow and expertise give our customers the basis on which to take well-founded decisions. The sooner the Doka technicians start inputting their knowledge and experience into the project, the more efficiently it can then be carried out. 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 customers.

5 The system is more than the sum of its parts We take a systematic approach. Our systems' high degree of interoperability ensures smooth construction workflows and outstanding cost-efficiency. This is how to save on equipment quantities, time and costs onsite. Which is precisely what creates the benefit and added value that make all the difference. Platform SCP Maximum speed and safety are achieved by this completely enclosed platform on which the formwork, site equipment and concrete placing booms are raised cranelessly from one casting section to the next in a single lift. Automatic climbing formwork SKE plus Great flexibility on challenging construction projects is provided by the system's high adaptability to different layouts and inclinations. Fast, safe climbing operations are ensured by simultaneous repositioning of large numbers of climbing units with all-hydraulic equipment components. Automatic climbing formwork Xclimb 60 Great cost-efficiency on simpler structures, as it can be used flexibly as either an automatic climbing or crane-guided formwork system. Wall formwork Excellent cost-efficiency from the ability to adapt easily to widely differing shapes and loads. Large-area formwork Top 50 Framed formwork Framax Xlife Panel floor formwork Dokadek 30 Fast in typical zones, and flexible in infill zones as this optimised panel floor formwork system features integrated connectability to Dokaflex. Tableforms Efficient forming of large areas of slab, achieved by large table-formats and fast repositioning. Dokamatic table Dokaflex table Timber-beam slab formwork Easy forming of any desired layout and infill zones is made possible by these straightforward hand-set systems with their flexible, logical formwork grids. Dokaflex Dokaflex 30 tec Shoring towers The safe and easy way to shore high floor-slabs, thanks to their ergonomically optimised frame geometry and integrated safety solutions.
