    The system of aluminum forms (MIVAN) has been used widely in the construction of residential

    units and mass housing projects. It is fast, simple, adaptable and cost – effective. It produces total
    quality work which requires minimum maintenance and when durability is the prime
    consideration. This system is most suitable for Indian condition as a tailor–made aluminum
    formwork for cast–in–situ fully concrete structure.
     
    Background
              Mivan is basically an aluminium formwork system developed by one of the construction
    company from Europe. In 1990, the Mivan Company Ltd from Malaysia started the
    manufacturing of such formwork systems. Now a days more than 30,000 sq m of formwork used
    in the world are under their operation. In Mumbai, India there are number of buildings
    constructed with the help of the above system which has been proved to be very economical and
    satisfactory for Indian Construction Environment.       
                The technology has been used extensively in other countries such as Europe, Gulf
    Countries, Asia and all other parts of the world. MIVAN technology is suitable for constructing
    large number of houses within short time using room size forms to construct walls and slabs in
    one continuous pour on concrete. Early removal of forms can be achieved by hot air curing /
    curing compounds. This facilitates fast construction, say two flats per day. All the activities are
    planned in assembly line manner and hence result into more accurate, well – controlled and high
    quality production at optimum cost and in shortest possible time.
                In this system of formwork construction, cast – in – situ concrete wall and floor slabs cast
    monolithic provides the structural system in one continuous pour. Large room sized forms for
    walls and floors slabs are erected at site. These forms are made strong and sturdy, fabricated with
    accuracy and easy to handle. They afford large number of repetitions (around 250). The concrete
    is produced in RMC batching plants under strict quality control and convey it to site with transit
    mixers.
                The frames for windows and door as well as ducts for services are placed in the form
    before concreting. Staircase flights, façade panels, chajjas and jails etc. and other pre-fabricated
    items are also integrated into the structure. This proves to be a major advantage as compared to
    other modern construction techniques.
                The method of construction adopted is no difference except for that the sub – structure is
    constructed using conventional techniques. The super–structure is constructed using MIVAN
    techniques. The integrated use the technology results in a durable structure.
