Aiming at connecting construction professionals and general contractors with innovations at CONEXPO, Doka has announced a gamut of solutions ranging from new formwork, to digital services, and jobsite advertising. Their booth in the Diamond lot, #D2001, will feature innovations for improving productivity, efficiency, and sustainability in formwork, concrete, and digital services. Doka USA offers opportunities to discover more about their products, innovations, and trends.
In addition to Doka’s products and services, visitors at the Doka booth will be immersed in the latest digital technology for boosting performance onsite as well as a sneak peek of the newest developments!

Doka launched, SiteLight (pictured above) - a new spectrum of construction site advertising opportunities. Doka engineers and the LED experts at sister company, Umdasch The Store Makers, have revolutionized the old-fashioned advertising banners on construction sites by creating an inspired media that continuously changes perspective as the building grows. SiteLight opens new doors for marketing professionals in the digital out-of-home sector by using LED technology and marketing partnerships to enable eye-catching digital advertising spaces in highly competitive areas.
As of the beginning of 2023, Doka has acquired 100% of the scaffolding company AT-PAC (they held a stake since 2020). This allows contractors to gain the advantage with Doka posting themselves as a “one-stop-shop” for formwork and scaffolding, offering everything from a single source, scaffolding both for rent and sale globally, a competitive price-performance ratio, and a product that meets all safety criteria and standards for highly developed markets. This also allows construction companies to benefit from the scaffolding management software HiVis as well as further services and software applications.
The Super Curve system designed for circular and curved concrete walls or arches with radius as small as 8 ft. 0 in.

For the first time, Doka will be debuting a new Garage Beam System, which is a rentable solution for concrete parking structures. Doka’s all-new SuperFlex Garage Beam System is a complete and flexible formwork and shoring solution for cast-in-place garage beams and slabs in post-tensioned multi-story parking garage structures. The system uses standard rentable components, comes pre-assembled and ready for use once it arrives onsite.
Further Connections
- Also at their booth will be a 50-ft. high Scaffolding Tower. Pros who aren't afraid of heights can climb to the visitor platform at the top of the Scaffolding Tower, enjoy the view of the CONEXPO exhibition center, and explore Doka’s Digital services for higher productivity. (Editors Note: We'll try and remember to take the climb.)
- In the slab construction area, Doka is celebrating the success of SuperDek and Truss Tables at CONEXPO. SuperDek is a fast, safe and simple handset drop head slab system, while the Truss Tables represent the fastest method to set and strip large slab formwork.
- The Frami Xlife handset formwork system, and for forming large areas on crane-assisted projects, Framax, a high-performing steel-framed formwork that offers extra-large panel sizes. In addition, visitors will see how Framax hydraulic stripping corner speeds up cycling to the next pour by stripping shafts in a single step.
- Doka believes that exchanges with customers, partners, and industry enthusiasts are crucial to building a common future and that digitization is the key to success. This is evident across all products in the digital services area. Visitors are invited to try out Doka’s latest digital solutions and services including:
- DokaXact - sensor-based digital services on a single IOT platform. The DokaXact product family provides real-time insights into formwork operations and the concrete pouring process for optimized efficiency, quality, and safety.
- 3D Modelling / BIM - 3D design of formwork-related structural data in Revit and Tekla, including export of 2D plans and parts lists, 4D construction progress simulation of defined work stages, and much more.
- Concremote - sensors to measure the temperature and calculate compressive strength of the concrete structure.
- AR/VR – DokaAR App allows users to view Doka Formwork in Augmented Reality. DokaVR will enable users to experience a virtual Doka construction site.

- 3D concrete printing – In a factory or on the construction site: 3D construction printing from Doka’s sister company Umdasch Group Ventures in cooperation with Concrefy is quick, efficient, and sustainable. It reproduces the shortest, digitally continuous process from design to production. The concrete elements are simply printed directly from the digital construction plans. The unique honeycomb structure enables the production of any type of shape and means that the concrete dries faster. The possibility of creating a mix to suit the specific needs of the project saves costs and materials. Saving up to 50% of material helps reduce consumption of precious resources and lowers the ecological footprint of the construction project.
- The myDoka customer portal provides instant access to the inventory and transaction data of all job sites in real-time. The user-friendly interface allows intuitive navigation through the portal, which is available to you 24/7 and thus ensures maximum flexibility.
- Additionally, Doka’s Steel Girder formwork for infrastructure will also be on display. The all-steel, modular form system is a waler-less, large-size panel system best suited for columns, piers, pier caps, beams, retaining walls, foundation walls and culverts. It achieves faster pour rates, and quicker assembly, while spanning large distances without intermediate support.
- Safety Net Fans - The ultimate debris net system for any building structure. They are pre-assembled units and can be adapted to any shape.
- Smart Edge – An innovative edge protection and guardrail system in one. Increases safety, reduces labor, and simplifies site logistics at perimeter edges, internal openings, elevator shafts, and stairs.
- FalPro – The mobile fall protection anchor for when collective fall protection is not possible.
- Other highlights include construction accessories/components, such as Eurex floor props and various construction-grade plywood solutions. A new HDO panel will be introduced to go along with Dokaply Phenolic, Phenolic Eco, MDO and Wire Mesh products.
