Project pressures
be pre-determined to assess potential
challenges of any givenproject.
Such computer-based techniques, in
combination with new products such as
a dismantling inside corner post for use
with its Logo steel-based wall formwork,
has, says the company, beenwell-received
by the construction industry for its time-
saving during the dismantling phase of a
scheme.
Underlining its commitment to
advanced research and development,
the company has just finished a new
feasibility study on advanced formwork
inDenmark.The work, which was done
with a groupof 14partner organisations, examined the potential
use of robot-assisted constructionmethods.
Itwas demonstrated through creating a striking24m long, 6m
high sculptural installation in the city of Aarhus.
As part of the study, a robot supplied with CAD computer
designmilled the uppermould of the polystyrene blocks for the
sculpture.The structurewas then supported by Logo formwork,
proving successfully that robots couldwork accuratelyondesigns
off-site alongside construction teams.
Testing terrain
Dealing with the challenges of testing terrain is something
Doka is particularly used to.One of its latest projects has seen it
undertake the building a bridge for Estonia’s second largest city,
Tartu, as part of the area’smajor road infrastructure upgrade.
For the first time in a Baltic state, the company used a
cantilever forming traveller to place the 55mmid-section of the
400 m bridge of the city approach road requiring a crossing at
the Emajogi river. It was not possible for the river to be damned
or diverted, hence the cantilever solution.
According to the company, its innovative construction
approach had proved effective in delivering the project that
was carried out by K-most contracting team under guidance
fromDoka formwork engineers. The project is expected to be
completednext year.
