Every mining project has its own challenges and criteria for success, whether these involve
overcoming great distances to remote locations or working under harsh environmental conditions.
Construction companies require high-quality, durable formwork materials capable of bearing heavy
loads, a global logistics network that provides full and on-time delivery, supervisors who ensure
efficient and smooth forming operations during construction, project managers who are able to
coordinate everything, etc. Doka provides it all from a single source and with the authority of a
global market leader. This exceptional _understanding of so many aspects can move mountains.

To find the ideal solution with you ...
Our _understanding of consultancy
and project management:
7. ... and to realize it together
Comprehensive
and results-oriented
We develop a customised formwork con-
cept based on a detailed analysis of your
specific requirements. We then ensure
it is implemented and support you at all
times throughout the entire process.
Tailored to your requirements
Formwork operations are scheduled
based on precise knowledge of the
construction method and project-specific
framework conditions, as well as on
keeping the volume of commissioned
system components as low as possible.
The result: detailed cycle planning to
allow for efficient construction
workflows.
Efficient logistics planning
We work closely with you to optimise site
logistics in an effort to keep unproductive
downtimes and storage site footprint to
an absolute minimum.
Safety first
Moreover, we never lose sight of form-
work operation safety. Working closely
with safety officers, our project managers
develop and implement an end-to-end
safety concept for formwork use.
Focus on time and cost
Consistent project controlling and
efficient reporting ensure that the project
moves forward smoothly: construction
time and costs are made transparent and
kept under control.
Our internationally experienced project managers serve as the effective link between
construction work and formwork technology. Their expertise in both engineering and
business management allows them to focus on the entire construction process.
“The whole is greater than the
sum of its parts. This is exactly
what Doka project management is
about. It ensures that the various
project phases are perfectly co-
ordinated and running effectively,
with the overall goal of ensuring
our clients’ projects run smoothly
and safely.”

“Smart formwork solutions can only
be developed and engineered, if you
understand the project requirements
and if you are familiar with the con-
struction processes. And exactly this
understanding is the starting point for
our engineering services.”
Project Structural Analysis
The precise static design ensures the
safe use of formwork systems.
Cycle Planning
Project-specific cycle planning ensures
personnel and formwork materials are
managed optimally, and provides access
to date and cost information at a glance.
Material Lists
Detailed material lists enable effec-
tive inventory control and construction
management, as well as facilitating an
organised return of materials.
Execution Drawings
At the heart of any formwork planning
are precise design plans developed for
practical use. They take the burden off
construction managers, enable optimised
formwork use, and render makeshift
solutions built on-site obsolete.
Ensuring construction projects run
safely and smoothly

10. 10
To meet the high standards of safety required
when building mining facilities, you need a
formwork partner who consistently focuses
on safety at work – from the drawing board to
project completion and throughout every phase
of the construction process. Doka is committed
to developing and implementing the best possible
safety solutions together with our clients.
We do not compromise on this.
Method Statement
Practice-oriented and easily
understandable drawings are the
basis for safe formwork opera-
tions and avoid unsafe interim
solutions on site.
User Information
Each Doka formwork system
comes with a detailed user infor-
mation. The right assembly and
application are clearly explained
and also possible misapplications
are shown to avoid hazards from
the very beginning.
Formwork Instructors
Our experience formwork instruc-
tors train your site crew in the
proper use of the formwork and
supervise the formwork opera-
tions. At your side. On your site.

Doka Safety
• Method Statement
• User Information
• Formwork Instructors
• Safety Systems
• Inspection of formwork

• Certified formwork systems
Safety Systems
We offer a full range of safety
systems that meet the highest
international standards, in order to
ensure a safe working environment.
Inspection of formwork
as assembled
Our experienced formwork experts
support you in monitoring the correct
mounting and point out any misuse.
Certified formwork systems
The certificates awarded to Doka formwork sys-
tems are your guarantee of high quality and safety.
CE-labelled products refer to the EC
Machinery Directive 89/392/ EEC
and are subject to regular inspec-
tions.
The GS mark stands for “tested
safety” and tells users that their
system has been subjected to rigor-
ous testing.
The GSV is an association of
European formwork manufacturers.
The GSV mark certifies that the
formwork will withstand the stated
formwork pressure.
Because safety
matters
Safety is a top priority at Doka. We take a holistic
approach to safety together with our clients. For
this reason, we launched the important Doka
Safety initiative to raise awareness of safety-related
issues at construction sites.
By understanding the high standards
of safety required for mining projects,
we provide clients with safety solutions
tailored to their needs. Our goal: zero
accidents on the job.

• Formwork Return
• myDoka
myDoka
myDoka is the online platform for
project data monitoring. It gives
anytime access to the latest inventory
and transaction data, so all impor-
tant information can be find easiliy.
From planning to evaluation, from
the contract all the way through to
controlling – all data are displayed at
a glance, and are always up-to-date.
myDoka has a wide range of func-
tions which simplify daily work and
give a quick overview of your project.
Just-in-time Delivery
Scheduled, on-time deliveries free up
limited storage areas at your site and
ensure availability of your formwork
material when you need it. We take
care of organising every aspect of
transport and delivery.
On-site Stock
Our commissioned stock at your
site allows you to cover short-term
requirements for consumables
and spare parts easily, quickly and
without red tape. You take what you
need; at the end you will be invoiced
transparently and based on your re-
quirements. Naturally, we make sure
that stocks are always adequate.
Formwork Return
Together we develop a transparent
and fair plan for returning rented
formwork materials. If required we
jointly inspect the formwork materials
while recording and evaluating the
stock on site. A comprehensive
return report allows for maximum
cost certainty in the process.

17. 6 On-site Services
• Formwork Instructor
• Pre- & Dis-assembly
• Inspection of formwork
as assembled
• Engineering Service on site
Formwork Instructor
Our experienced formwork instructors
are your personal task force on the
construction site. The formwork instruc-
tors train and advise your construction
team in the professional and safe use
of the formwork systems. This ensures
that the system advantages can be fully
used, damages and wear are reduced
and safety at work is increased.
Pre- & Dis-assembly
We take over the pre-assembly of the
formwork at your request. This not only
saves time and money, but also ensures
that you can work professionally without
time-consuming temporary solutions.
Everything fits together perfectly. And when
it comes time to disassemble the formwork
we also support you. You benefit in turn
from less damage to the system and a
shorter rental time.
Inspection of formwork
as assembled
Together with you, our formwork instruc-
tor checks the proper assembly of the
formwork. Any misapplications are pointed
out and the corrective actions are explained.
This ensures safe and smooth formwork
operations from the very beginning.
Engineering Service on site
Our technicans bring you measur-
able benefits. For example, by
effectively managing material flows,
our technicans ensure optimal utili-
zation of the formwork systems and
low idle times. Or when it comes to
short-term planning changes, they
enable short-term adjustments of
the formwork solutions by making
use of existing stock.
