Doka now stands for formwork and scaffolding. While much of the construction industry has remained stagnant for the past forty years, some businesses, such as Doka have continued to invest throughout their development in order to provide, faster, more cost-effective and safer products for their clients.

Sharing this ethos is AT-PAC, a U.S-based business with over 25-years’ global experience, which has solely focused on developing and enhancing its Ringlock product to meet performance-based demand, while gaining significant experience in the industrial sector, something that was clearly identified by Doka as it sought to capitalise on the synergies of formwork and scaffolding.

Designed as a versatile, high quality performance system, Ringlock provides a reliable solution for today's fast-paced market, where time, efficiency and safety are paramount towards ensuring that business is able to operate effectively, not to mention profitably in the post-COVID economy.

As a modular system, Ringlock is designed with 30% fewer main components when compared to traditional scaffolding, while offering a multifaceted system, for which up to 80% of its components can be used for different applications. Not only do the minimal components mean a reduction of commissioning quantities, it is also 30% lighter per m3 and 50% faster to assemble when compared to other scaffolding systems, making it easier to handle while enabling a faster turnaround on projects.

Besides Ringlock, Doka is now able to provide a State of the Art Scaffold Management Software, Hi-Vis®. This software is widely compatible with other scaffolding systems, its value as a digital management tool for Ringlock means project managers can monitor real-time scaffolding requests, management processes and up-to-the-minute data on resources, labour and existing material deployed.

Certainly, as the world continues to assess the fastest return to economic stability after the challenges faced in 2020, products such as Ringlock and Hi-Vis will ultimately support the construction and industrial sectors by providing a clear and transparent way to assess the volume of material used or required; a lean and efficient use of manpower and a safe and practical product that prioritises the welfare of site teams, as well as the sustainability of our environment.
