3. ADVANTAGES FOR CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES AND INVESTORS Amidst the different options in power plant construction, there is one goal at the top of the list: producing energy as quickly as possible. Although the objective is formulated with utmost simplicity, the solutions for getting there are no less challenging. The combination of formwork experience and concrete expertise of Doka allows the customer a ‘scenario gaming’ in the design phase of a construction project. During execution phase the ‘Concremote Value Engineering Methodology’ offers the possibility to use the most economic concrete mixture and to monitor the evolution of the temperature gradients in the concrete. The resulting benefits are a higher productivity during construction, higher concrete quality and financial savings during execution and the service life of a dam structure.
