DOKA Formwork
DOKA Formwork
The various basic components that make up the various DOKA system are as follows:
The H-beams are manufactured in a modern automated plant at Pondicherry under strict quality control the flanges are
made of seasoned chemically treated timber. The web is made of boiling water proof ply wood and joined with the flange
by the unique finger jointing method. The H-beams thus manufactured are light, dimensionally stable and retains its
structural properties over a period of time even after repeated usage. It is more predictable, easy to design and use, The
number of reuses of H-Beams is more than 100 times (8 times that of conventional timber) and it consumes only 40% of
timber volume required.
The H-beams are available in two size namely in H-16 - 16 cms depth & H-20 - 20 cms depth, length varying between
1m to 6m.
Salient Feature
Ensures uniformly high quality and load-bearing strength for safe and dependable usage
Is the basis for the reliability of the Doka beam formwork and Dokaflex floor formwork
From mechanical strenght grading
Ends of beams bevelled for more strength but have no end reinforcement.
Doka has an extensive range of formwork sheets for the most varied areas of application. All sheets are made of glue-
bonded layered wood and are extremely strong and dimensionally stable.
Surface: Synthetic melamine resin glue with PU sealant and light corundum sanding on one side
Bonding: Boilproof and weatherproof
Edges:Impregnating emulsion,
Doka yellow
Thicknesses: 21 and 27 mm
Formwork sheet 3-SO
Three-ply concrete-formwork sheet, made of European spruce. Produces a uniform concrete surface.
3. Dokadur panels
Dokadur panels are the state of the art for floor-slab panels. All-round edge and surface sealing dependably protects the
panel against the wear and tear of everyday construction work.
Maximised number of reuses and best-quality concrete surfaces.
From special surface sealing by means of PUR varnish and melamine resin coating with precision-metered
corundum sanding
For improved safety at work, because risk of slipping is reduced
From significantly reduced moisture absorption for much-reduced discolouration, structuring and cracking
From easy cleaning of the surfaces, ready for the next use
From all-round edge protection made of high-grade PU
For exact edges with minimal cleaning
For low costs on account of easy and fast reconditioning of the edge
The props are available in various sizes viz. CT-250,CT-300,CT-340 & CT-410. The number indicates the
extended length of props in cms.
The tripods make the props self standing for easier and faster erection of the shuttering system. The adjustments
in height are obtained by operating the prop nut. The required dimension in plan is obtained by side-lapping of the H-
Beams in the primary or secondary layer.
A very accurate and convenient shutter is ready for tying of reinforcement and concreting.
The system also facilitates re-propping. By adopting the method of repropping it is possible to reduce the total
quantity of formwork materials significantly. The system is very well adapted for use along with the L&T-Doka Beam
Forming Supporting system.
Multi-trip packaging
Multi-trip packaging such as containers, stacking pallets and skeleton transport boxes keep everything in place on the site,
minimise time wasted searching for parts, and streamline the storage and transport of system components, small items and
accessories.
Savings on material overheads and labour costs.
Through faster loading and unloading of system components, small items and accessories
Through easy relocation to the next point where the parts are needed
Through safe storage in stacks, particularly when space is at a premium
Stacking pallets 150 and 120 simplify the storage and transport of floor props, removable folding tripods, formwork beams
and Dokadur panels. The clamp-on wheels make the stacking pallets mobile, so they can easily be steered through
standard door-size openings in residential accommodation projects
