With this acquisition the company takes another big step toward Industry 4.0 and into the future of the international formwork group from Lower Austria

Doka forms exceptional fair-faced concrete core of the Palác národní (National Palace), Prague's new shopping centre and office complex

Doka’s formwork expertise is currently in demand during the construction of one of the busiest motorway viaducts in Germany. The Lahntal bridge located in Limburg dates back to the early nineteen-sixties and is 400-metre long. Every day about 100,000 vehicles cross the valley of the River Lahn on the viaduct. Its traffic load has increased sharply, so a new bridge is being built sited just a few metres west of the old viaduct.

The Umdasch Group AG is a concern which is 100% family-owned and which has its headquarters in Amstetten. During 2015 it grew significantly once more and was thus able to demonstrate the success of its growth strategy for the fifth time in succession.

Back in 2011, Züblin started the first works on the Nordhavnsvej project for the City of Copenhagen and in 2015, the project entered its second major phase.

A one-of-a-kind cast-in-place structure is currently under way near Munich: the ESO Supernova Planetarium and Visitors Centre. The building's cubature takes its cue from a narrow double star system. The architecture of the construction project is characterised by inclinations up to 23 degrees and demands the ultimate in artful engineering from contractor and formwork supplier.

Rebuilding at Ground Zero moving full speed ahead; World Trade Center Complex will serve simultaneously as a new landmark and a memorial for New York. Following Towers 2 and 4, Austrian formwork experts’ know-how is required for Tower 3 as well: Doka is providing formwork solutions, engineering design and field supervision to support the construction schedule.

In the construction of the 824 MW Muskrat Falls hydroelectric power station in Labrador, Canada, extreme cold is a particular challenge. Temperatures as low as -40°C are not uncommon at the site. These conditions require accuracy and expertise at the highest level in terms of planning and implementation. To meet these challenges, Doka is providing the formwork solutions and is setting new standards with its innovative Concremote system.

Doka know-how helps build the world's tallest buildings and is much in demand on tunnel projects as well. A build-in-progress at depths of 26 m below the surface of the sea, the Second Midtown Tunnel now nearing completion will be another connecting link between the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth in the state of Virginia, USA. The immersed tunnel consists of eleven individual sections pre-cast in the Baltimore dry dock and then towed some 320 km south into the Elizabeth River for immersion on site.

The training in the Doka Forum in Amstetten has paid off for Michael Haydn and Alexander Hiesberger: The both Austrian young formwork engineers from the company Strabag won the gold medal at the “World Skills 2015” in the “Concrete Construction Work” category.
