1. Introduction
The following study will describe the process of the basic assembly of scaffolding and
formwork systems for the Qelia Canal Structure. The surface finish to be achieved on formed
concrete surfaces shall be in accordance to item 4.2.5.1 of volume 2.2 of item specification
(F1, F2, F3 and F4).
The used equipment in the walls formwork operations is comprised of Doka Top 50 and
Circular Formwork H20.
The used equipment in the slabs scaffolding is comprised of Doka-Staxo 100and/or Zaidan
Shoring Towers System.
2. List of Equipment
The H20 beams are fastened onto the WS10 walling in a robust tilt proof manner. The special
splice plates link the formwork elements together in such a way that they are resistant to
tensile and compressive forces, and align them at the same time.

Advantages
A very simple system, you just fit the elements on top of each other and
you get ready-to-use shoring tower. Shoring tower are the ideal shoring
solution for high slabs, bridges and religious buildings.
Easy erection:
This system is well studied to make erection a very simple operation. Its
low skill requirements make it very easy even for the most unskilled
workers.
Quick handling:
By using the pigtail pins, one can even erect the Shoring Tower on the
ground and then lift it all together by using a crane.
With only three elements, in addition to adjustable base plates and top,
keeping track of all items is quick and easy. Stackability is efficient and
store keeping is straightforward.
Ease of calculations:

Shoring towers are simple to use in design. Just think of them as high props, whose load
bearing is 220 KN up to 20m (55 KN per tube).
Shoring towers vertical elements are made of thick 48mm tubes. Tower bases and heads are
made of full round steel.
