UOW Student Accommodation
The new student residencies on Northfields Avenue at the University of Wollongong will deliver a unique and contemporary accommodation solution. With a total of 1054 beds across 3 buildings, the facility is focused on the integration of learning and social opportunities in a residential context. Doka Australia supplied Formsite Pty Ltd the Dokadek 30 system.
Challenge
Provide a slab formwork system that can be easily replicated across all three similar towers to ensure uniformity and speed from repetition when forming.
Solution
To provide a formwork system for the complete slab that satisfies the cantilever requirements to suit the scaffold layout at the perimeter of each building.
Back
“I highly recommend Dokaflex system and Dokadek 30 Panel System. We are very very happy with it.
The reasons why we like the system include: Speed – quick up and down; good quality off-panel finish;
easy to manoeuvre around site; equally effective for high strutting floors; easy to transition from panel to
conventional formwork with the use of the infill beam; prop centers allow excellent, easily delineated access
under formed deck; and not many components so easy to manage on site.“
