When it comes to large high-rise projects around the world, Doka from Amstetten (Lower Austria) is often involved. This is because, as one of the largest formwork manufacturers, it provides the stable "shells" in which construction companies can then erect the towers. Doka has now landed a prestigious contract.

Doka boss Robert Hauser wants to take sales to even greater heights: in mid-February, Doka was awarded the contract by renowned real estate developer Azizi Developments from Dubai to provide the formwork for the planned second-largest building in the world, to be called Azizi Tower (see rendering above) on the prestigious Sheikh Zayed Road.
