Mivan is an aluminum formwork system originally developed in Europe and manufactured in Malaysia since 1990. It is used globally for constructing large numbers of structures rapidly. The system uses lightweight, reusable aluminum panels to cast concrete walls and slabs together in a single pour. This creates a monolithic structure with smooth finishes, high strength, and speed of construction. The document discusses the history and components of the Mivan system, provides examples of its use, and outlines its advantages over conventional construction methods like reduced time, costs, and labor needs. It also notes some limitations and concludes the technology has great potential for affordable housing development in India.

2. Introduction
• It is the information about AdvanceTechnologies In Building
Construction.
• The construction industry is rapidly changing.With-changing
times, new processes and the materials are being used.
• A lot of research and development is carried out in the
construction industry throughout the globe
• Time, economy and utility of space have become the
important aspects of the construction industry.

3. MIVAN
(Aluminum Formwork)
• FORMWORK :-
Formwork is the temporary moulds or shutters in
which concrete is placed, so that it will have desired shape or
outline when hardened.This temporary casing is known as
Formwork or Shuttering.
.

4. History of MIVAN
Mivan is an aluminum formwork system developed by a European
construction company. In 1990, the Mivan Company Ltd. from Malaysia
started manufacturing these formwork systems.Today, more than
30,000sqm of formwork from Mivan Co. Ltd. is used across the world.
There are a number of buildings in Mumbai that are being constructed
with the help of the Mivan system, that has proven economical as well
as satisfactory for the overall Indian construction environment. Mivan
technology is suitable for constructing large number of houses in a
short span of time using room size forms to construct walls and slabs in
one continuous pour on concrete. In this system of formwork
construction, cast–in–situ concrete wall and floor slabs cast monolithic
provides the structural system in one continuous pour. On the removal
of the formwork mold a high quality concrete finish is produced to
accurate tolerances and verticality.The high tolerance of the finish
means that, no further plastering is required.

5. Uses of Mivan Formwork
• 3S – System of Construction – Speed, Strength, Safety.
• Column and beam construction are eliminated.
• Walls and slabs are cast in one operation.
• Specially designed, easy to handle light weight pre-engineered
aluminum forms.
• Fitting and erecting the portion of shuttering.
• Carrying out concreting of the walls and slabs together.

6. Advantages of Mivan formwork over
conventional construction
• More seismic resistance: -The box type construction provides more seismic
resistance to the structure.
• Increased durability: -The durability of a complete concrete structure is more
than conventional brick bat masonry.
• Lesser number of joints thereby reducing the leakages and enhancing the
durability.
• Higher carpet area- Due to shear walls the walls are thin thus increasing area.
• Integral and smooth finishing of wall and slab- Smooth finish of aluminum can be
seen vividly on walls.

7. • Uniform quality of construction – Uniform grade of concrete is
used.
• Negligible maintenance – Strong built up of concrete needs no
maintenance.
• Faster completion – Unsurpassed construction speed can be
achieved due to light weight of forms.
• Lesser manual labour- Less labour is required for carrying
formworks.
• Simplified foundation design due to consistent load distribution.
• The natural density of concrete wall result in better sound
transmission coefficient.

8. Limitations Of Mivan• Because of small sizes finishing lines are seen on the concrete
surfaces.
• Concealed services become difficult due to small thickness of
components.
• It requires uniform planning as well as uniform elevations to
be cost effective.
• Modifications are not possible as all members are caste in
RCC.
• The formwork requires number of spacer, wall ties etc. which
are create problems such as seepage, leakages during
monsoon.
• Due to box-type construction shrinkage cracks are likely to
appear.
• Heat of Hydration is high due to shear walls.

9. METHODAND SYSTEMOF CONSTRUCTIONBY MIVAN
FORMWORK
INTRODUCTION
• MIVAN is the brand name from Mivan Far East,
Malaysia. It is Aluminum alloy Form work The
Aluminum formwork system for concreting is
probably the most versatile modern construction
system. Unlike other systems it is equally suited
to both high and low rise construction specifically
designed to allow the rapid construction of
multiple unit projects at optimum productivity.

11. WALL PANEL:TheWall Panel forms the face of the wall from
the top of the Rocker to the underside of theTop Panel.

12. ROCKER: The Rocker forms the wall face at the bottom of the wall panels and
helps to facilitate striking.

13. KICKER:The kicker forms the wall Face at the top of theTop
Panels. It is anchored to the concrete and acts as a ledge for
theWall panels on the next floor to sit on.

14. BEAM SOFFIT BULKHEAD: The Beam Soffit Bulkhead is used to
form the soffit of the beam. It is used for beams less than 300mm.

15. DECK COMPONENT: The deck panel rests between pairs of
mid-beams and provides a horizontal surface for casting the
slabs and provides a horizontal surface for casting the slabs.

16. INTERNAL SOFFIT CORNER: The Internal Soffit Corner forms
the vertical corner between walls and / or beam faces and
horizontal internal corners between wall / beam face and soffit
of slabs.

17. INTERNAL CORNER:
The Internal Corner connects
2 pieces of vertical formwork
together of their internal
intersection.

18. PROP LENGTH:
The prop length is
manufactured to a
specific length for each
project. It transmits load
to the previous slab.

19. PANEL PULLER: It is required for removing panels after concreting of wall.

20. TIE PULLER: It is required for removing wallTies after de shuttering of panels.

21. BEAM – BAR:
These are used in pairs to
fix the Mid Beam and End
Beams to the deck prop.
The beam_ Bar is removed
when the slab is cast to
allow quick striking of the
deck form work.

34. CONCLUSION
The task of housing due to the rising population of the country is becoming
increasingly monumental. In terms of technical capabilities to face this
challenge, the potential is enormous; it only needs to be judiciously exploited.
Traditionally, construction firms all over the world have been slow to adopt the
innovation and changes. Contractors are a conservative lot. It is the need of
time to analyze the depth of the problem and find effective solutions. Our aim
is to serves as a cost effective and efficient tool to solve the problems of the
mega housing project all over the world. Our aim is to maximize the use of
modern construction techniques and equipments on its entire project. We
have tried to cover each and every aspect related to conventional and
aluminum form construction. We thus infer that aluminum form construction
is able to provide high quality construction at unbelievable speed and at
reasonable cost.This technology has great potential for application in India to
provide affordable housing to its rising population.Thus it can be concluded
that quality and speed must be given due consideration with regards to
economy. Good quality construction will never deter to projects speed nor will
it be uneconomical. In fact time consuming repairs and modification due to
poor quality work generally delay the job and cause additional financial impact
on the project. Some experts feel that housing alternatives with low
maintenance requirements may be preferred even if at the slightly may
preferred even if at the higher initial cost.

35. FUTURE SCOPES
This thesis work is restricted to only Mivan formwork and
not other type of aluminum formworks.The future
researchers can continue by working over other type of
formworks construction by analyzing activities like brickwork,
plastering, painting and many more. Furthermore interviews
of different people from construction industry can be taken
based on questionnaire prepared and analysis can be done.
