Working with CO2-reduced concrete mixes
The construction industry accounts for 37 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. If the sector were a country, it would rank third in global emissions after the USA and China. At Doka, we are committed to making a substantial contribution towards creating a sustainable future. Our pledge to reduce carbon emissions concentrates on more than just our processes. We also focus on key levers such as the building material concrete. We must understand that in the future, using concrete for construction is unavoidable. So, we need to work together to make concrete construction more eco-friendly.
Our contribution to the decarbonisation of the construction industry is based on our own commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 and to create a long-term perspective for concrete construction through product innovation for our customers.
Steady, ongoing decarbonisation is a key element of our sustainability strategy. As one of the world's leading formwork manufacturers, we operate at the interface between formwork and concrete. We are developing new technologies to reduce CO2 in concrete and incorporating the latest research and results from our pilot projects. We also work closely with concrete producers and contractors. In the near future, intelligent formwork systems will help us to use environmentally friendly concrete cost-effectively on construction sites around the world.
Our goal is to continuously change concrete for the better to create concrete that is fit for a green future. By using advanced formwork technologies and continuously focusing on innovation, we aim to create added value for our customers, the industry and the environment.
Our mission is to support our customers in the development of CO2-reduced concrete mixes and their safe and efficient use on construction sites.
Software, equipment and consultancy - for concrete suppliers and precast producers
Sensors, software and formwork - for construction companies. Productivity and safety with CO2-reduced concrete mixes on the jobsite
As of today, we have solutions at hand to support our customers in efficiently using CO2 reduced concrete in their construction projects. But we do not stop here. We are investing in the future of sustainable concrete construction.
Research projects range from optimizing concrete mixes with the help of artificial intelligence to developing a Functional Prototype of an Intelligent Heated Formwork. Here we are lifting the curtain on the latter.
The Austrian research study RCC2 (reduced carbon concrete) investigated the potential of innovative concrete mix designs to decarbonise concrete. The broad-based consortium tested ways of establishing CO2-reduced and even climate-neutral concrete as the new state of the art.
Their common goal is to overcome the technical, legal and economic hurdles of establishing CO2-reduced concrete as the new state of the art and to open the way for this climate-friendly building material on Austria's construction sites.
Our experts are happy to help.
