electric and battery powered forklifts to collaborating with others to reduce concrete’ s carbon content,” Michael explains.“ As a rental business, the industry’ s framework is robust and allows us to recycle and reuse products.
“ We’ re introducing Xlife top, the first Doka formwork sheet that features a core made primarily from recycled plastic,” he explains.“ Because it’ s more durable, it needs fewer component replacements. Those components can also be recycled, creating a true closedloop system. In addition to its sustainability benefits, Xlife top also reduces labor costs and offers a uniform concrete finish.
As a forward-thinking business, Michael notes the benefits that clients reap from Doka’ s experience.“ Part of our value proposition is our legacy of work on so many different and challenging projects,” he explains.“ Understanding how something was designed in the past and applying those lessons to new projects is invaluable. Behind each contract is a significant, orchestrated effort- logistics, planning, and sequencing are critical components for us.
“ Planning how the staging is built, how the formwork is craned in, and creating the right sequencing- all of this comes with experience. That’ s what differentiates us from competitors who simply don’ t have the same depth of project history to draw from.”
Looking ahead, Doka’ s commitment to innovation and sustainability remains central to the company’ s growth strategy. By embracing digital technologies, advancing low-carbon solutions, and designing systems that simplify complex construction processes, Doka is securing its position at the forefront of the global forming and scaffolding industry. In doing so, Doka is shaping the construction landscape, building strong structures that support the sector’ s sustainable and resilient future. ■
