A quartet of European renovation and restoration projects across Europe showcases how Doka, a leading global formwork and scaffolding expert, delivers reliable, cost-effective scaffolding solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of renovation projects. As the benefits of maintaining, updating and restoring existing infrastructure are numerous, European constructors are partnering with Doka experts to implement customized Doka Ringlock scaffolding systems. Each project is designed to support breathing new life into historic buildings and aging infrastructure to preserve them for future generations.

Armin Cosic is AI Engineer at Doka. In this interview, he reveals what his role title really means and what influence he attributes to artificial intelligence in the construction industry.

Nestled in the heart of Colorado (USA), the Gross Reservoir plays a crucial role in managing water flow across the North American Continental Divide. In a landmark project aimed at securing the region's future water supply, Denver Water is undertaking the largest dam raise in U.S. history, increasing the height of the 70-year-old structure by 40 meters. To meet the unique challenges of this massive undertaking, Doka has engineered a tailor-made formwork solution, pivotal in tripling the reservoir's capacity.

The POST Rotterdam building project is transforming the aging post office into a real gem as work continues on renovation and redevelopment of the esteemed property. To ensure the construction process on the busy Coolsingel boulevard flows safely and efficiently, the joint venture POST-Bouw, a combination of BESIX Nederland and Rizzani de Eccher, is working with a customized portfolio of solutions from Doka Nederland. Saving valuable crane time, Doka’s self-climbing formwork, SCP platform and various lightweight formwork as well as flexible scaffolding systems are being optimised to ensure a secure work environment and improved onsite efficiency.

Doka, one of the world's leading experts in formwork and scaffolding, has been a reliable partner for years providing digital solutions for increasing efficiency and safety on construction sites. With the introduction of the new DokaXact Load & Pressure sensors, Doka now enables real-time monitoring of the pouring process.

Doka is taking another important step towards sustainability. In addition to the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for formwork products, the CO₂ footprint for scaffolding is also available. Doka customers now have access to PCF data for around 7,000 products.

Doka, one of the world's leading suppliers of formwork and scaffolding, is once again demonstrating that it is a pioneer in sustainability by playing a key role in the development of minimum standards for calculating Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) – a milestone for the formwork and scaffolding industry and a further step down the road to decarbonising the construction sector.

Rail Baltica represents a landmark achievement in European transportation infrastructure and stands as the largest Baltic project of the century. By 2030, an 870 km long double-track high-speed railway will connect the Baltic countries with the Central European rail network. Doka is playing a pivotal role in ensuring the project's timely completion with its comprehensive solutions.

Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, is adding value to renovation projects by enabling construction companies to intelligently apply its Ringlock scaffolding system to support renovation projects of all sizes. The recent repairs and refurbishment of the important Voest Bridge showcase how the modular scaffold system played a significant part in supporting the repairs of one of Austria’s busiest road sections on the A7 highway.

The contribution Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, has made to the one-of-a-kind Danube River Bridge project in the Austrian city of Linz, demonstrates the added value teaming with a single source can bring to complex construction projects. As the bridge, which represents the first construction phase of the A26 motorway, nears completion, the innovative Doka products, including formwork, scaffolding, and digital solutions, have enabled streamlined operations, secure working environments and cost-effective budget management.
