Introduction

Elementary safety warnings

User target groups

▪This booklet is aimed at all persons who will be work-

ing with the Doka product or system that it describes.

It contains information on the standard design for

setting up this system, and on correct, compliant uti-

lisation of the system.

▪All persons working with the product described

herein must be familiar with the contents of this

booklet and with all the safety instructions it contains.

▪Persons who are incapable of reading and under-

standing this booklet, or who can do so only with dif-

ficulty, must be instructed and trained by the cus-

tomer.

▪The customer is to ensure that the information mate-

rials provided by Doka (e.g. User Information book-

lets, 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.

▪In the relevant technical documentation and form-

work utilisation plans, Doka shows the workplace

safety precautions that are necessary in order to use

the Doka products safely in the usage situations

shown.

In all cases, users are obliged to ensure compliance

with national laws, Standards and rules throughout

the entire project and to take appropriate additional

or alternative workplace safety precautions where

necessary.

Hazard assessment

▪The customer is responsible for drawing up, docu-

menting, implementing and continually updating a

hazard assessment at every job-site.

This booklet serves as the basis for the site-specific

hazard assessment, and for the instructions given to

users on how to prepare and utilise the system. It

does not substitute for these, however.

Remarks on this booklet

▪This 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.

Any safety accessories not shown in these illustra-

tions must still be used by the customer, in accord-

ance with the applicable rules and regulations.

▪Further safety instructions, especially warnings,

will be found in the individual sections of this

booklet!

Planning

▪Provide safe workplaces for those using the form-

work (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 cal-

culations must be produced for checking, as well

as supplementary assembly instructions.

Regulations; industrial safety

▪All laws, Standards, industrial safety regulations and

other safety rules applying to the utilisation of our

products in the country and/or region in which you

are operating must be observed at all times.

▪If a person or object falls against, or into, the side-

guard component and/or any of its accessories, the

component affected may only continue in use after it

has been inspected and passed by an expert.

Original Operating Instructions Platform SCP Introduction

7999805802 - 03/2016

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 in accordance with the applica-

ble laws, Standards and rules, under the direction

and supervision of suitably skilled persons. These

persons' mental and physical capacity must not in

any way be impaired by alcohol, medicines or drugs.

▪Doka products are technical working appliances

which are intended for industrial/commercial use

only, always in accordance with the respective Doka

User Information booklets or other technical docu-

mentation authored by Doka.

▪The stability of all components and units must be

ensured during all phases of the construction work!

▪The functional/technical instructions, safety warn-

ings and loading data must all be strictly observed

and complied with. Failure to do so can cause acci-

dents 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 dis-

tance away from the formwork.

▪The work must take account of the weather condi-

tions (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 equip-

ment, and to protect employees.

▪All connections must be checked regularly to ensure

that they still fit properly and are functioning cor-

rectly.

It is very important to check all screw-type connec-

tions and wedge-clamped joins whenever the con-

struction operations require (particularly after excep-

tional events such as storms), and to tighten them if

necessary.

▪It is strictly forbidden to weld Doka products – in par-

ticular anchoring/tying components, suspension

components, connector components and castings

etc. – or otherwise subject them to heating.

Welding causes serious change in the microstruc-

ture of the materials from which these components

are made. This leads to a dramatic drop in the failure

load, representing a very great risk to safety.

The only articles which are allowed to be welded are

those for which the Doka literature expressly points

out that welding is permitted.

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 equipment/system must be assembled and

erected in accordance with the applicable laws,

Standards and rules by suitably skilled personnel of

the customer's, having regard to any and all required

safety inspections.

▪It is not permitted to modify Doka products; any such

modifications constitute a safety risk.

Closing the formwork

▪Doka products and systems must be set up so that

all loads acting upon them are safely transferred!

Pouring

▪Do not exceed the permitted fresh-concrete pres-

sures. Over-high pouring rates overload the form-

work, cause greater deflection and risk breakage.

Stripping out the formwork

▪Do not strip out the formwork until the concrete has

reached sufficient strength and the person in charge

has given the order for the formwork to be stripped

out!

▪When stripping out 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 stripping out 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!

8999805802 - 03/2016

Introduction Original Operating Instructions Platform SCP

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

sections of this booklet!

Maintenance

▪Only original Doka components may be used as

spare parts. Repairs may only be carried out by the

manufacturer or authorised facilities.

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 Stand-

ards 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" (compar-

ing 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!

Comparison of the safety concepts (example)

do not correspond to the design values

(e.g.: VRd = 105 kN)!

➤Avoid any confusion between the two!

➤Our documents will continue to state the per-

Allowance has been made for the following par-

tial factors:

F = 1.5

M, timber = 1.3

M, steel = 1.1

kmod = 0.9

In this way, all the design values needed in an

EC design calculation can be ascertained from

the permissible values.

Original Operating Instructions Platform SCP Intended use

13999805802 - 03/2016

Intended use

The Platform SCP is a lifting appliance that is used

solely for rapid, safe raising of scaffolds, formwork or

other loads in the course of construction operations,

without crane assistance.

A Platform SCP needs a minimum of 4 lifting units.

Safety signs increase awareness

around safe anchoring on the

structure

Doka puts the quality and safety of all of its formwork

products first.

The most important part of a climbing scaffold is its

entirely safe anchorage to the structure.

The safety signs instruct the site crew on how to pre-

pare the positioning points and suspension points cor-

rectly at all times. They measure 1000x750x2mm and

are weatherproof.

The safety signs are available from Doka and must be

prominently positioned by customer in the main access

routes on the working and pouring platforms.

For more information, please contact your Doka techni-

cian.

☞ ▪It is forbidden to use the product for anything

but its intended purpose!

▪Only use serviceable, functioning compo-

nents. (Do a sight-check to see if any parts

are damaged).

▪Doka accepts no liability for products that

have been altered!

▪Repairs may only be carried out by the man-

ufacturer!

▪Wherever possible, the lifting-unit compo-

nents and all hydraulic components must be

stored protected from the weather after

being delivered to the site.

☞Important note:

The first time of putting into service, and the

first typical lifting sequence, must be super-

vised by certified Doka specialists.

☞ ▪All persons who are going to put the Platform

SCP into operation need special knowl-

edge which can only be passed on by certi-

fied Doka specialists in a special instruction

and training programme.

▪As proof that they have received such spe-

cial instruction, an "OPERATION LICENCE"

is issued to persons who have undergone

this training course.

▪Persons who do not have an 'OPERATION

LICENCE' are prohibited from putting the

Platform SCP into service.

CE marking

Note:

The Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) stipulates that

all formwork systems that are moved either electrically

or hydraulically are subject to mandatory CE marking

requirements. For this reason, the project-specific doc-

umentation provided by Doka for the whole system

must be followed.

The Platform SCP must be fitted with a separate rating

plate for each project.

Data on rating plate

Doka Industrie GmbH, A-3300 Amstetten, Austria

Designation: SCP

Project name: see rating plate

Year of manufacture: see rating plate

Before every use

➤Check for any signs of damage or visible deforma-

tion.

➤To ensure optimum functioning, check the entire

Platform SCP while it is in operation to make sure

that it stays clean (no dried concrete spatter, rein-

forcement-steel or timber litter).

Damaged or deformed parts that do not meet

the following criteria must be withdrawn from

use immediately:

▪Crack-free and notch-free welds.

▪No deformation.

▪The rating plate and all adhesive labels

must be in place, and must be clearly legi-

ble.

Before lifting:

Check all components of the hydraulics for

damage and leaks.

Original Operating Instructions Platform SCP System description

15999805802 - 03/2016

System description

The self-climbing forming and

working platform for highrise cores

The platform SCP carries all the site equipment and is

encased so that the crew is safe and protected from the

weather conditions, no matter how high the structure

rises.

Powerful hydraulic cylinders cranelessly raise the plat-

form, formwork, equipment containers and concrete

placing boom to the next casting section, in only one lift.

High safety

for the entire site

▪Safe, weather-shielded working made possible by

the large, fully enclosed workspace.

▪Prevents fall-hazard locations opening up during

repositioning, as the entire platform is raised hydrau-

lically in one lift.

▪Integrated platforms, stair towers and ladders pro-

vide complete safety during working operations and

for up-and-down access.

Rapid working

in a systematic sequence

▪Quick and easy to reposition in only a few opera-

tional steps, as it is raised at the push of a button.

▪Short forming-times, as the formwork suspended

from the girder grille is easy to close and open.

▪Speeds up the workflow, as the crew enjoy an

enhanced sensation of safety at all heights.

Highly cost-efficient

for your highrise core

▪Saves on craneage, as the platform can also trans-

port high payloads, including equipment containers

and concrete placing booms, when it is raised.

▪Can be adapted to any requirement, thanks to its

modular system and to the fact that there are several

different ways of suspension-mounting it to the struc-

ture.

▪Optimised construction sequences achieved by the

planning and engineering services of the Doka Com-

petence Centre.

System description Original Operating Instructions Platform SCP

Two construction methods – one system

There are two basic modes of use, depending on the

site requirements and on the stipulated construction

method.

Core climbed ahead

In this method of construction, the core of the structure

(lift shafts, stairwells) climbs ahead of the slabs – this

separation of the structure‘s components accelerates

progress and offers excellent protection against

adverse weather conditions.

Slab and walls cast in one pour

In this construction method, the floor-slabs and walls

are cast in one single pour – this makes for high cost-

efficiency and speeds up construction progress still fur-

ther.

Core with surrounding slab

Core at structure edge

98058-404-01

Both methods allow slab zones inside the core

to be cast in one pour with the walls.
