Peter Fischer, Managing Director, Advanced Formwork Co. Ltd. (Doka), shares his thoughts about the country’s USD 2.1tn construction pipeline, its evolving landscape, and the importance of early-stage involvement and technological innovation.

Doka, one of the world's leading experts in formwork and scaffolding, has been a reliable partner for years providing digital solutions for increasing efficiency and safety on construction sites. With the introduction of the new DokaXact Load & Pressure sensors in Saudi Arabia, Doka now enables real-time monitoring of the pouring process.

Doka, one of the world's leading suppliers of formwork and scaffolding, is once again demonstrating that it is a pioneer in sustainability by playing a key role in the development of minimum standards for calculating Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) – a milestone for the formwork and scaffolding industry and a further step down the road to decarbonising the construction sector.

With its raised, beach-themed swimming area and tight deadline, Doka’s in-depth knowledge of dynamic loads and time-saving techniques is helping to deliver the latest mixed-used community project of its trusted partner, Azizi Developments.

Austria/UAE, March 4, 2024 – Azizi Developments and Doka are joining forces for the manufacturing and supply of formwork systems to build the second tallest tower in the world. The project in Dubai will be a new landmark for Azizi, Doka and the entire region.

Austria/Malaysia, February 16th, 2024 – Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, now combines its strengths with Malaysian-based MFE Formwork Technology, market leader in monolithic aluminium formwork. Doka and MFE – together, they are now the major player in the Asia-Pacific region. For customers, this means innovative solutions from a single source.

Doka’s work on the ”Smart Qatar” Pavilion delivers a fully immersive space, where tradition meets technology.

Doka welcomed Dr. Martin Kocher, Federal Minister of Labour and Economic Affairs, as well as delegates from the Austrian ministry who met with team members, while experiencing several of Doka’s products, systems and services as part of its two-day, regional trade mission

As two companies with extensive experience in the Middle East, particularly in Dubai, where both have been operating for well over twenty years, it was only a matter of time before Doka Gulf and ALEC E&C’s paths would cross and discover some of the time, cost and safety benefits each organisation’s respective investments in technology have yielded.

Doha, Qatar – 10th October 2023: Doka, one of the world’s leaders in formwork, scaffolding and engineering solutions is showcasing its versatile Ringlock scaffolding system at this year’s Big 5 Construct Qatar event. Centered around its multifaceted Ringlock system, Doka has expanded its offering in recent years to include scaffolding as a value-add to its existing portfolio of formwork and engineering solutions.
