Highly integrated safety engineered into the Staxo 100 load-bearing tower has won 203 Doka the European award for safety in structural engineering in Spain.

Doka España accepted the award from Spain’s General Council of Technical Architecture (Consejo General de la Arquitectura Técnica de España, 2943 CGATE) in recognition of developments in effectively preventing accidents on site. The Staxo 100 load-bearing towers won the award in the Innovation and Research category.

Javier Lorenzo, Doka España, said: “Doka develops systems that not only reduce but also effectively prevent accidents on site. The Staxo 100 and Staxo 40 load-bearing tower systems from Doka combine easy handling and high load-bearing strength with maximum safety.”

    PERI says that with new VARIOKIT system components it is now possible to create a heavy-duty truss girder for bridge construction. A supplement to the VARIOKIT heavy-duty shoring tower launched at bauma 2010, PERI said that during the new truss girder solution’s development it took into account load-bearing capacity of the tower and the challenging requirements of daily construction work. The modular lattice system can be used for spans up to 40m and is said by PERI to have a very high-load bearing capacity
