Doka’s UniKit is a quick way to support heavy concrete pours

Doka’s new UniKit is a modular shoring system for heavy civil engineering applications. Designed to be quick and easy to erect in a number of different configurations, UniKit provides a steel-girder like structure which can support loads from bridge deck or beam concrete pours. “It’s an efficient way to construct infrastructure without stopping existing infrastructure – such as roads – running underneath,” said Doka’s director of research and development Johann Peneder.

    Innovative solutions are being applied to the construction of bridge structures as Patrick Smith reports. RMD Kwikform Iberica has engineered and supplied specialist formwork and falsework for construction of the much-needed Monteporreiro Viaduct in northern Spain. The viaduct will connect Monteporreiro with the Benedictine Monastery of San Bieito Lérez on the other side of the river, and in the process will ease congestion in the nearby town of Pontevedra, diverting some 5,000 vehicles/day.
