Introduction
Concept of ALUMINIUM FORMWORK
Developed by MIVAN GROUPS, MALAYSIA
Driving force –speed of construction, quality of construction,
seismic resistivity, economy
Good quality construction should not deter the project speed nor
should it be uneconomical
“Cost is long forgotten, but the quality is
remembered forever”

Construction Industry
Significant sectors of Indian economy
India’s urban population - Second largest
Land acquisition and rapid creation of dwelling units
Fortunately, now speed of construction is given
importance.
Prefabrication, autoclaved blocks, tunnel formwork,
aluminium formwork (Mivan technology) of construction
12/8/21 4
Housing Scenario - India
Progressive rise in stock of housing in India since
independence
But speed has not kept pace with the rapid growth of
population and urbanization
And hence shortage of accommodation is increasing
continuously
The situation has become acute in urban areas
12/8/21 5
Innovation in Construction Technology
Traditional mode of construction - inadequate for mass
housing construction.
Prone to poor quality control
Mass housing works – technologies for fast construction to
deliver quality, economic and durable structure.
Pre-cast and cast-in-situ techniques are used for quick
construction.
Use of Aluminum alloy for formwork

What is a Formwork?
Support for plastic concrete when placed
Temporary supports and castings
Forms or moulds or shutters are the receptacles in
which concrete is placed, so that it will have desired
shape or outline when hardened. Once concrete
develops the adequate strength to support its own
weight they can be taken out. - ACC

Formwork - Requirements
Sufficiently strong enough
The joints should be rigid
Construction lines in the formwork should be true
Easily removable without damage to itself
12/8/21 8
MIVAN System
3S - SYSTEM OF CONSTRUCTION - Speed, Strength, Safety
Column and beam construction – eliminated
Walls and slabs are cast in one operation
Specially designed, easy to handle light weight pre-engineered
aluminium forms.
Rapid construction of multiple units of repetitive type using semi-skilled
labours.
Fitting and erecting the portion of shuttering
Carrying out concreting of the walls and slabs together.

MIVAN Formwork
Aluminum alloy panels
Excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio
Face or contact surface - 4mm thick plate
Pin and wedge arrangement system
Requires no bracing
High strength wall ties
Small panels – no heavy equipment
12/8/21 10
MIVAN FORMWORK
Heavy lifting eliminated
Semi skilled labors
Fast construction suitable for large magnitudes
Good quality with accurate dimensions
System components are durable – repetitive
Monolithic construction
Mivan – 4day cycle
Conventional – 14 to 20 day cycle
Plastering eliminated completely
12/8/21 11
Comparison – Mivan and
Conventional
More seismic resistance
Increased durability
Lesser number of joints – reduced leakages
Higher carpet area
Smooth finishing of wall and slab
Uniform quality of construction
Negligible maintenance
Faster completion

Construction with MIVAN
PRE – CONCRETE ACTIVITIES
Receipt of equipment on site
Level surveys
Setting out of formwork
Control / correction of deviation
Erect formwork – vertical
Erect deck formwork
Setting kickers
12/8/21 13
Checks before Concreting
Formwork should be cleaned and coated
Wall formwork erected to the setting out lines
Openings are of correct dimensions
Horizontal formwork are in level
Deck and beam props are vertical
Wall ties, pins and wedges are all in position
Surplus material are cleared
12/8/21 14
On Concrete Activities
Checking pins, wedges and wall ties
Beam / deck props adjacent to drop areas slipping due
to vibration
Bracing at special areas slipping due to vibration
Overspill of concrete at window opening
12/8/21 15
Post – Concrete Activities
Strike down wall form
Strike deck form
Clean, transport and stack formwork
Strike down kicker formwork
Strike wall – mounted working platform
All formwork can be struck after 12 hours

Work Cycle
System for scheduling & controlling the work of other
connected construction trades
Deshuttering of the panels – 12 to 15 hrs
Positioning brackets & platforms on the level- 10 to 15 hrs
Deshuttered panels lifted & fixed on floor-7 to 10 hrs
Kicker & external shutters fixed in 7 hrs
Shutters are erected in 6-8 hrs
Reinforcement and electrical conduits are fixed – 20 to 22 hrs
Pouring concrete
12/8/21 28
4 Day Cycle
Day 1: erection of vertical reinforcement bars and one side of
the vertical formwork
Day 2: erection of the second side of the vertical formwork and
formwork for the slab
Day 3: fixing reinforcement bars for slabs and casting of walls
and slabs
Day 4: removal of vertical form work panels after 24hours,
props in place for 7 days, floor slab formwork in place for 2.5
days
12/8/21 29
Quality Enhancements
High quality formwork panels - consistency of
dimensions
Level and verticality
Plastering eliminated
3mm to 4mm skin coat enough for pleasant
appearance
12/8/21 30
Merits
Total system forms the complete concrete structure
Custom designed to suit project requirements
Unsurpassed construction speed
High quality finish
Cost effective
Panels can be reused up to 250 times
Erected using unskilled labour
Quality and speed - given due consideration along
with economy
12/8/21 31
Limitations
Because of small sizes - finishing lines are seen
Concealed services become difficult
Requires uniform planning and uniform elevations to
be cost effective
Modifications are not possible
Large volume of work is necessary to be cost effective
Spacers, wall ties - seepage, leakages during monsoon
Shrinkage cracks
High heat of hydration – shear walls
12/8/21 32
Remedial Measures
Wall ties - create holes in wall after deshuttering
Box-type construction - shrinkage cracks, near door and
window openings in the walls
Minimize these cracks by providing control strips in the
structure which could be concreted after a delay of about 3 to
7 days after major concreting
The problem of cracking can be avoided by minimizing the
heat of hydration by using Flyash
12/8/21 33
Conclusion and Inference
Civil engineers not only build but also enhance the quality
of life
Creativity and technical skill help to plan, design,
construct and operate the facilities essential to life
MIVAN - cost effective and efficient tool to solve problems
of the mega housing project
MIVAN construction is able to provide high quality
construction at unbelievable speed and at reasonable cost
Effective technology – India
“Cost is long forgotten, but the quality is remembered
forever”
