Smooth start
of forming operations- Special formwork designs go through a test set-up prior to delivery to ensure each order is complete and ready for use when the system arrives on-site.
- Our experienced formwork support engineers will train and guide our customer’s local construction teams to use Doka Monolithic with efficiency and safety as a priority.
Rapid construction processes
thanks to lightweight aluminium panels and short cycle times- Effortless repositioning thanks to low panel weight and built-in grips
- The formwork can be assembled with non skilled labours with simple training and no special tools are required
- High accurate buildings dimensions and high quality finish leads to a fast construction time and minimum costs for remedial works
- Typical cycle times of 1 floor every 4-5 days or 1 single house a day can be simple achieved
- Always correctly positioned formwork panels thanks to clear identification
Easy to adapt
to project specific requirementsFormwork systems are designed for maximum use of standard panel types, but special panels can be manufactured for all types of buildings and structures, and can include all architectural features for construction speed, efficiency and finish quality.
Safe working conditions
for smooth construction workflows- Aluminium formwork mores through the construction project fast and efficiently and substantially reduces on-site rubbish and waste.
- A wide range of safety systems and accessories are available for integration into the complete solution.
Ideally suited for large housing developments and high-rise projects with layouts that are fixed
Doka Monolithic is designed for high reusability to maximise your formwork investment returns. Thanks to the efficiency of our design and simplicity of our methodology, Doka Monolithic panels can be reused and redesigned for multiple projects.
As Doka Monolithic is optimally adapted to the structure-improvisations are no longer necessary, saving time and money.System features and functionality
Doka Monolithic panels
- Our designers will maximise the use of Doka Monolithic standard panels within the design for maximum formwork reusability
- With variable standard sizes, formwork panels are easily adapted to the structure
- Panels can also be manufactured to project-specific requirements and in various shapes and dimensions required.

Casting wall and floor in a single operation
Doka Monolithic is a monolithic formwork system for forming, casting and stripping wall and floor panels in a single operation. All structural components can be integrated into a monolithic construction process. The complete system can be assembled and repositioned by hand thanks to the use of lightweight aluminium panels.
Easy connection and form-tie components
Doka Monolithic formwork panels are connected with simple Pin & Wedge fixings, or optional Fast Lock panel mounted fixings and require no special tools, just a hammer.
The panels are anchored quickly and easily with flat wall ties that also serve to define and control wall thickness. The flat ties are provided with plastic sleeve coverings to allow fast and easy removal of the ties and making the ties fully reusable through the project.![connectors for aluminium formwork]()

Windows, doors and stairways are built into the system
Doka Monolithic is able to form all of the building components including walls, columns, shafts, floors, beams, window and doors openings are cast with the system.
Doka Monolithic is designed for easy formwork stripping processes with vertical formwork able to be removed after 12 hours, or concrete strength of2 N/mm² achieved, and horizontal formwork removed after 36 hours, or achieving a concrete strength of10 N/mm² . The specially designed Doka Monolithic prop heads allow slab formwork to be removed without moving or disturbing the props, for speed and efficiency so no back-propping is required.
Stairways can also be integrated into a monolithic casting, eliminating the need for secondary forming or stairs, or pre-cast stairs.![casting windows with aluminium formwork]()

Safety Guardrail Systems
Guardrail systems are easily assembled with the Doka Monolithic handrail post and protect the crew during the casting process. Doka Monolithic brackets can be used to assemble working platforms for safely forming and stripping additional each level of the building.
