Doka showcases Cut&Cover tunnel construction solution

Austrian firm Doka will be showcasing at bauma its first system to be specifically designed and optimised for cut-and-cover tunnel construction.

Doka says Doka CC is its first system specifically for cut and cover tunnel builds
Austrian firm 203 Doka will be showcasing at 688 Bauma its first system to be specifically designed and optimised for cut-and-cover tunnel construction. With Doka CC (Cut and Cover), different types of traffic tunnel, such as rail or road tunnels, are said to be able to be built quickly, efficiently and safely.

Doka says the creation of its innovative tunnel system was made possible only by the use of hi-tech construction materials and products such as the Composite formwork beam I tec 20. The choice of high-grade steel members is said to have enabled the weight to be considerably reduced. These attributes are said to make for quick system set-up and great ease of use on the site.

The Doka CC system provides, says Doka, a high degree of safety against base failure. Safe shoring is possible whenever needed, regardless of the type of foundation. Another benefit claimed by Doka when using this variable tunnel formwork system is that it is geometry-independent and can be adapted to even the most challenging shapes and routes of a tunnel.

The tunnel formwork traveller has an all-hydraulic wheel system that is said to allow it to be three-dimensionally aligned with millimetre precision, without needing to be set down between alignments. Even gradients of as much as 10% are claimed to be easily negotiated. A slide-type solution for the new stop-end system saves time when stripping out, and the integral platform system and ladderways are said to provide a high level of safety.

Other Doka formwork solutions for transport infrastructure at bauma are the firm’s composite forming carriage, Bridge formwork ParaTop, and DokaShore.

The formwork specialists are exhibiting at bauma under the slogan: ‘Pathbreaking. Beyond Solutions’.

  • Bonfiglioli opts for AC/DC electric drum drive for truck mixers
    January 6, 2017
    Bonfiglioli has developed an electric drum drive for the new hybrid truck mixer from CIFA, the concrete equipment specialist owned by Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion. The 500 series drum drive with electric motor offers drum rotation speeds from 15-22rpm and is suited to mixer capacities from 6-14m3. The drivetrain relies on an AC induction motor to turn the drum, which gets its power from an on-board battery pack. The electric drum drive can also be powered by mains electricity – the latter can be plugged in

    The new HL780-9A wheeled loader from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HI) is one of five new 9A series wheeled loaders being exhibited by the South Korean company at bauma. Like its fellow Hyundai HI 9A machines, the HL780-9A complies with strict Tier 4 Interim/EU-Stage IIIB standards on engine emissions. Its engine comes with an EGR and diesel particulate filter (DPF). The DPF is automatically and/or manually regenerated, ensuring compliance with all NOx and PM values. Hyundai HI says the high performance DPF fil

    Following the success of its 8MCR high-speed compact excavator, Mecalac has developed a larger, heavier model, called the 10MCR. Like the smaller machine introduced in 2009, this new model combines the speed and manoeuvrability of a skid steer loader with the functionality of a midi excavator. Weighing in at nine tones and using a 75kW turbocharged diesel engine, the new model retains Mecalac’s MCR concept and uses a triangular track frame profile, which affords fast travel speeds in both directions usin
