Aluminum formwork is manufactured using lightweight aluminum frames that provide a robust and durable mold for pouring concrete. It is well-suited for load-bearing wall construction where traditional plywood and timber forms are not suitable due to high concrete pressures. Aluminum formwork panels can be designed for any building component like bay windows, stairs, and balconies. It has advantages like convenient assembly without machines, low carbon emissions, stability, and high reusability over 300 times with low average costs. However, architectural changes may not be possible and working capital needs advance planning due to fast construction speeds while initial costs are higher than other formworks.

2. ALUMINIUM FORMWORK
• Manufactured by using light-weight aluminium content
• Made up of Aluminium frames provide robust & durable mold for
pouring concrete
• It's often known as 'MIVAN formwork' due to the name
of company which invented Aluminium Formwork

3. Suitability of Aluminium
Formwork
Suited to load bearing wall construction whereas traditional
formwork consisting of plywood and timber is not suitable
to the high pressures of fresh concrete on the wall
Aluminium Formwork panels can be designed for any
condition/component of building such as bay windows,
stairs, balconies and special architectural features.
The structures are more resistant to earthquakes than the
traditional RCC column and beam designs.

4. Convenient &
Effective
It can complete
assembly by manual
without any machines
assistance Low Carbon
Emission
Some developed
countries have
already stipulated
that cannot apply
wooden formwork
The set of
formwork can be
used more than
300 times in a low
average use-cost.
Good stability
