Doka’s proven Dokaflex tables are helping speed up work on a new 40-storey office tower that is coming up in Jumeirah, as part of Dubai Media City. Located close to the Dubai Marina, the tower will include 11 floors for parking 1,099 cars, making it what is claimed to be the largest multi-storey car-park in the area.

Geoplast, a low and high-density polyethylene and polypropylene products specialist from Italy, introduced to the UAE its economical and reusable plastic formwork systems for round and square columns at the recent Big 5 show in Dubai. “Geotube is the first plastic formwork for making round columns,” says a spokesman for Geoplast of Italy.

With more than 40 years of experience in the formwork industry, Paschal Werk G Maier of Germany is looking forward to strengthen its presence in the booming construction markets of the Middle East by actively promoting its high-quality formwork solutions and also expanding its presence in the region.
