In early March 2012, Serbia started construction on Highway E 763, also known as Corridor 11, which is an international project of great importance for the whole region. This highway stretches from Timisoara via Belgrade to Bar, where there is a connection across the Adriatic Sea to Bari, Italy.

Norway covers nearly its entire energy demand with hydro power. For this reason, investments into expansion continue, such as at the Otra River in the Aust-Agder province. The new “Sarvsfossen” dam for the Skarg power station will go operational there in April 2014. Doka's Dam formwork D35 is used for the first time during construction of the concrete arch dam. The success of this premiere is ensured by the standard system that includes pouring sections that are 5 m high as well as an integrated safety and logistics concept.

The site of the new Las Bambas copper mine is in one of the remotest regions of the Andes. The work on building the ore-extraction infrastructure is currently the biggest construction project in Peru, comprising several crushing plants, tunnels and a dam. Contractors Bechtel have taken up the manifold challenges of this vast new facility located at over 4000 m above sea level, with Doka at their side as their partner for formwork technology.

The Bouregreg Bridge is definitely one of the most spectacular bridge projects at the present time. The 952 m long cable-stayed bridge near the Moroccan capital Rabat symbolises the modernisation of the country’s infrastructure. Architecturally, it stands out for its two pylons – one 197 m, the other 185 m tall. Their artistic shape also presents the Formwork Experts with some special challenges. The solution Doka developed for them is based on the Automatic climbing formwork SKE100 system.

In the Montenegrin coastal town of Budva, a state-of-the-art water treatment plant is sending a clear signal for sustainability-oriented urban development and eco-friendly sewage disposal. Doka supplied the formwork solution for the infrastructure of this new facility. Working with Doka Serb, the contractors completed the many different structures on schedule and the plant went onstream in the summer of 2013.

Doka Israel is right on site when it comes to the country’s most challenging residential, bridge, tunnel and infrastructure projects. Its involvement in prestige projects like the Hauma Railway Station or the Haifa Port Expansion and the Champion Tower, has given it the reputation of being a reliable partner delivering appropriate solutions for projects of all kinds. This was a crucial factor for Tidhar Construction Group Ltd. when it awarded the contract to supply the engineering solutions and all formwork equipment for the Shahar Tower.

On the A7 near Bad Brückenau in Northern Bavaria, Germany, an aesthetically appealing bridge spans the valley of the River Sinn in a broad sweep. As part of the works on this new bridge, around 3000 linear metres of elegantly shaped cantilevered parapets had to be formed in fair-faced concrete quality, using longitudinal planed tongue-and-groove board formwork. 4.00 m long Forming wagons TU from Doka, coupled together to make 28.00 m long travelling units, helped work to progress both safely and swiftly, as they could be towed ahead rapidly in a single operation.

On 5th July 2013, Doka laid the foundation stone for its new logistics centre for Germany, being built on an 11.4 hectare plot in an industrial estate on the B 87 highway near the town of Apolda in Thuringia, Germany. Scheduled for completion by the end of this year, the first phase will initially create approx. 40 new jobs. The Doka Group is investing around 14 million euros in this first stage of the project, as part of the ongoing build-out of its worldwide distribution and logistics network.
