Elementary safety warnings
Introduction
User target groups
● This User Information booklet (Method Statement) is
aimed at everyone who will be working with the Doka
product or system it describes. It contains information on how to set up this system, and on correct,
compliant utilisation of the system.
● All persons working with the product described
herein must be familiar with the contents of this manual and with all the safety instructions it contains.
● Persons who are incapable of reading and understanding this booklet, or who can do so only with difficulty, must be instructed and trained by the customer.
● The customer is to ensure that the information materials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information booklets, Instructions for Assembly and Use, Operating
Instruction manuals, plans etc.) are available to all
users, and that they have been made aware of them
and have easy access to them at the usage location.
Remarks on this document
● This User Information booklet can also be used as a
generic method statement or incorporated with a
site-specific method statement.
● Many of the illustrations in this booklet show the
situation during formwork assembly and are
therefore not always complete from the safety
point of view.
● Further safety instructions, especially warnings,
will be found in the individual sections of this
document!
Planning
● Provide safe workplaces for those using the formwork (e.g. for when it is being erected/dismantled,
modified or repositioned etc). It must be possible to
get to and from these workplaces via safe access
routes!
● If you are considering any deviation from the
details and instructions given in this booklet, or
any application which goes beyond those
described in the booklet, then revised static calculations must be produced for checking, as well
as supplementary assembly instructions.

The Formwork Experts
Rules applying during all phases of
the assignment:
● The customer must ensure that this product is
erected and dismantled, reset and generally used for
its intended purpose under the direction and supervision of suitably skilled persons with the authority to
issue instructions.
● Doka products are ONLY to be used in accordance
with the Doka User Information booklets or other
technical documentation provided by Doka.
● The stability of all components and units must be
ensured during all phases of the construction work!
● The functional/technical instructions, safety warnings and loading data must all be strictly observed
and complied with. Failure to do so can cause accidents and severe (even life-threatening) damage to
health, as well as very great material damage.
● Fire-sources are not permitted anywhere near the
formwork. Heating appliances are only allowed if
properly and expertly used, and set up a safe distance away from the formwork.
● The work must take account of the weather conditions (e.g. risk of slippage). In extreme weather,
steps must be taken in good time to safeguard the
equipment, and the immediate vicinity of the equipment, and to protect employees.
● All connections must be checked regularly to ensure
that they still fit properly and are functioning correctly.
It is very important to check all screw-type connections and wedge-clamped joins whenever the construction operations require (particularly after exceptional events such as storms), and to tighten them if
necessary.
Assembly
● The equipment/system must be inspected by the
customer before use, to ensure that it is in suitable
condition. Steps must be taken to rule out the use of
any components that are damaged, deformed, or
weakened due to wear, corrosion or rot.
● Combining our formwork systems with those of other
manufacturers could be dangerous, risking damage
to both health and property. If you intend to combine
different systems, please contact Doka for advice
first.
● The assembly work must be carried out by suitably
qualified employees of the client's.

Introduction
Erecting the formwork
Symbols used
● Doka products and systems must be set up in such
a way that all loads acting upon them are safely
transferred!
The following symbols are used in this booklet:
Pouring
● Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pressures. Excessively high pouring rates lead to formwork overload, cause greater deflection and risk
causing breakage.
Striking the formwork
● Do not strike the formwork until the concrete has
reached sufficient strength and the person in charge
has given the order for the formwork to be struck!
● When striking the formwork, never use the crane to
break concrete cohesion. Use suitable tools such as
timber wedges, special pry-bars or system features
such as Framax stripping corners.
● When striking the formwork, do not endanger the
stability of any part of the structure, or of any scaffolding, platforms or formwork that is still in place!
☞
Important note
Failure to observe this may lead to malfunction or damage.
Caution / warning / danger
Failure to observe this may lead to material
damage, and to injury to health which may
range up to the severe or even life-threatening.
Instruction
This symbol indicates that actions need to be
taken by the user.
Sight-check
Indicates that you need to do a sight-check
to make sure that necessary actions have
been carried out.
Transporting, stacking and storing
● Observe all regulations applying to the handling of
formwork and scaffolding. In addition, the Doka
slinging means must be used - this is a mandatory
requirement.
● Remove any loose parts or fix them in place so that
they cannot be dislodged or fall free!
● All components must be stored safely, following all
the special Doka instructions given in the relevant

Eurocodes at Doka
In Europe, a uniform series of Standards known as
Eurocodes (EC) was developed for the construction
field by the end of 2007. These are intended to provide
a uniform basis, valid throughout Europe, for product
specifications, tenders and mathematical verification.
The EC are the world's most highly developed Standards in the construction field.
In the Doka Group, the EC are to be used as standard
from the end of 2008. They will thus supersede the DIN
norms as the "Doka standard" for product design.

The widely used "Permissible stress design" (comparing the actual stresses with the permissible stresses)
has been superseded by a new safety concept in the
EC.
The EC contrast the actions (loads) with the resistance
(capacity). The previous safety factor in the permissible
stresses is now divided into several partial factors. The
safety level remains the same!

Guided climbing
Swift repositioning operations
The Guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 is a system in
which the entire unit is structure-guided at all times,
even while being repositioned.
Even in windy conditions, an entire unit is repositioned
safely and easily in one single lift.
● each formwork unit is raised in one single lift, while
secured to the structure at all times
● only one positioning-point per casting section –
avoids extra work before and after pouring
High safety in every phase of the work
● The system is guided up, and secured to, the structure during lifting.
● Its large platforms and an integrated vertical access
system make for safe working.
● It can be repositioned safely in winds of up to 70 km/
h.
High flexibility
● The platform sizes can be freely selected and
accommodated to the geometry of the structure.
● The height of the casting sections is freely selectable
up to a maximum of 4.5 m.
● Finishing-work platforms can be attached anywhere
on the scaffold.

Both the positioning points and the suspension points
are prepared using one single type of cone, the Universal climbing cone (A) .
The Cone screw B 7cm (C) also fulfils 2 functions:
● On the positioning point - for fastening the Universal
climbing cone.
● On the suspension point – for safe fixing of the
"Guiding shoe Xclimb 60 rigid", and thus of the unit
for repositioning.
Preferably, stop-anchors (D) are used, or – depending on the characteristics of the structure – pigtail
anchors (E) .
Risk of formwork falling off if two cones are
fitted opposite one another and joined with
a tie-rod.
Unscrewing the anchoring component on one
side may cause the anchoring point on the
opposite side to shear off.
➤ Every suspension point must have its own
separate anchorage.

Dimensioning the suspension point
The required cube compressive strength of the concrete at the time of loading (at least B10 or

factors:
● load actually occurring
● length of stop-anchor or pigtail anchor
● reinforcement / extra reinforcement steel
● distance from edge
Separate proof must also be provided regarding the

Warning!
➤ Always screw the pigtail or stop-anchor into
the Universal climbing cone until it fully
engages (i.e. up to the depth mark).
Not screwing the anchor sufficiently far into
the cone may subsequently lead to reduced
load-bearing capacity and to the failure of
the suspension point – resulting in injury and
damage.
➤ Never weld or heat tie-rods - risk of fracture!
➤ For the positioning point and suspension
point, ONLY use Cone screws B 7 cm (head
of screw is red, to indicate its high load-bearing capacity)!
➤ Do not place concrete directly above the pigtail or
stop-anchors.
➤ Do not allow the vibrator to touch the pigtail or stopanchors.

Form-ply protection
The "Form-ply protector for cone 15.0" protects the
form-ply from damage around the positioning-point.
This is a particular advantage for formwork with high
numbers of repeat uses.
Possible thicknesses of form-ply: 18 - 27 mm
In order to fit the Form-ply protector, a 46 mm diam.
hole must be drilled in the form-ply first.
Positioning point with Positioning clamp M30
(with hole drilled through form-ply)
Because the hole only needs to be drilled with a diameter of 9-10 mm, the positioning-point can be relocated
at smaller intervals than would be possible with the
Cone screw B 7cm.

Crane slinging using a four-part lifting chain
Crane slinging using two-part lifting
chain in typical sequence
If the unit to be lifted is not yet being guided in
the “Guiding shoes” (during the start-up
phases, for example), then the lifting chains
must – without exception – be attached to all
four slinging points on the unit to be lifted.
In the typical sequence, the unit is guided in
the “Guiding shoes”. For this reason, it is
sufficient here if the lifting chains are attached
to the two front hoisting points.
However, it is equally possible to lift and reset
the unit with a four-part lifting chain. This is
advantageous when it is necessary to
minimise the friction in the “Guiding shoes”
(e.g. if the crane only has a low load capacity).
(A)
(B)
For a formwork height of 4.5 m, the chain must
be at least 14 m long, or a standard spreader
beam (A) should be used (the recommended
procedure for this is with site-provided chains
(B) that are length-adjustable at the rear).
999801102 – 10/2008
The spread-angle β between the vertical
and the crane chain should not be bigger
than max. 30°, with a chain length of min.
6 m. In this case, too, it is advisable to use
a standard spreader beam.

Mounting instructions
The climbing unit for the first two casting
sections is assembled in the same way as
on the Guided climbing formwork
Xclimb 60.
Depending on whether the system is used
with or without an opposing shaft
platform, different suspension situations
will need to be considered.
Bolt the Vertical profile Xclimb 60 bottom
2.00m to the Vertical profile Xclimb 60 top
2.48m, then attach WS10 connections and
bracing tubes.
Open the guide cheeks of the bottom
“Guiding shoe”. Attach the lifting chain to
the Xclimb 60 bracket. After this, raise the
climbing unit until the unit is hanging
straight.
Close the guide cheeks again and bolt the
Vertical profile Xclimb 60 bottom 2.00m
into place.
Set down the unit on the bottom bolt of
the “Guiding shoe” in the first casting
section.
Remove the lifting chain.

Transporting, stacking and storing
General remarks
The following instructions must be complied with when
storing and transporting separate parts or assemblies.
This ensures careful, safe treatment of the equipment:
● The parts must be onloaded and off-loaded, transported and stacked in such a way that it is not possible for them to fall off, tip over or slide apart.
● Only set down the parts or assembly units on flat,
firm, clean surfaces.
● Spread-angle β of slinging chains: max. 30°.
● Do not detach parts from the lifting straps until they
have been safely set down.
● When transporting the equipment by truck, bundle
the components or otherwise secure them against
slippage, or else transport them in suitable containers.
● Protect all components against soiling, as this prolongs their service life.
● Clearly arranged, logical storage arrangements
reduce the time needed for assembly.
● Using intermediate packing timbers during storage
and transport lessens the risk of damage.
Please co-ordinate arrangements for return delivery of
the equipment with the Doka branch responsible.

General remarks
Doka service offerings
Doka customer training
Formwork training pays
Forming operations account for the lion’s share of
labour costs on concrete construction sites. Modern
formwork equipment helps to rationalise operations. By
improving the overall construction sequence at the
same time, however, further very worthwhile gains in
efficiency can be achieved.
This requires not only better equipment, but also
greater skill in making optimum use of this equipment.
Doka can help here, with its specialist training programme - to help each and every member of the team
do his bit towards boosting efficiency and lowering
costs.
Doka customer training events also look at the formwork equipment and handling methods that are needed
in order to achieve optimum safety - knowledge and
awareness which can only enhance workplace safety
on the site.
You’ll find the Doka training programme well worth
looking into.
Your nearest Doka branch will be pleased to tell
you more about Doka's various training offerings.

Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 – the innovative,
modular system for a wide range of building-construction uses
The Guided Climbing System from Doka saves crane time and is anchored to the structure
at all times during lifting. This means that even when higher wind speeds are encountered,
the platform units can still be lifted and reset equally swiftly and safely. Integral ladders with ladder cages
enable the site crew to move up and down between the platform levels in complete safety.
Doka guided climbing formwork Xclimb 60 is available for rental, leasing or purchase.
At any of the Doka branches in your region.
