How do you form 6-metre-high walls in a confined space without crane support? 🏗️ At the City of Calgary Composting Facility Expansion, construction had reached one of its most demanding phases: forming the reinforced lower walls of the digester building - directly beneath and around the installed steel drums. Working closely with Maple-Nason Chinook, Doka’s engineering and site teams supported the execution using the aluminium framed formwork DokaXlight. Fully handset, the system enabled precise placement within the confined layout and for pour heights of up to 6 metres. ⬆️ The dense reinforcement, varying tie lengths, and waterproof tie requirements near the drums made this phase particularly demanding. With no option for ganged formwork and restricted crane access, each panel was positioned manually - supported by the lightweight and modular design of the system. 🚀 This phase highlighted how close collaboration and the right formwork solution supported progress - because when it really matters, our solutions make it work. ✨ #Doka #Formwork #Construction #WeMakeItWork
