Note:
Construction period is calculated as follows:
Average 22 pouring of concrete are considered per
month.
About 3 months are required for mobilization and
getting plinths ready.
About 3 months are required for finishing.
Cost of formwork = $ 360; dollar Exchange Rate =
Rs50; No of flats = 1120
(Weight of aluminium formwork = 24 kg/m).

The Advantages of this system are...


The MIVAN formwork is specifically designed to allow rapid construction of all types of architectural layouts.
1)

Total system forms the complete concrete structure.

2)

Custom designed to suit project requirements.

3)

Unsurpassed construction speed.

4)

High quality finish.

5)

Cost effective.

6)

Panels can be reused up to 250 times.

7)

Erected using unskilled labor.

Quality and speed must be given due consideration along with economy. Good quality construction will never deter to p

Even though there are so many advantages of MIVAN formwork the limitations cannot be ignored. However the limitations do n

1)

Because of small sizes finishing lines are seen on the concrete surfaces.

2)

Concealed services become difficult due to small thickness of components.

3)

It requires uniform planning as well as uniform elevations to be cost effective.

4)

Modifications are not possible as all members are caste in RCC.

5)

Large volume of work is necessary to be cost effective i.e. at least 200 repetitions of the forms should be possible at wor

6)

The formwork requires number of spacer, wall ties etc. which are placed @ 2 feet c/c; these create problems such as see

7)

Due to box-type construction shrinkage cracks are likely to appear.

construction

1. More seismic resistance: - The box type construction provides more seismic resistance t
the structure.
2. Increased durability: - The durability of a complete concrete structure is more than
conventional brick bat masonry.
3. Lesser number of joints thereby reducing the leakages and enhancing the durability.
4. Higher carpet area- Due to shear walls the walls are thin thus increasing area.
5. Integral and smooth finishing of wall and slab- Smooth finish of aluminium can be seen
vividly on walls.
6. Uniform quality of construction Uniform grade of concrete is used.
7. Negligible maintenance Strong built up of concrete needs no maintenance.
8. Faster completion Unsurpassed construction speed can be achieved due to light
of forms
9. Lesser manual labour- Less labour is required for carrying formworks.
10. Simplified foundation design due to consistent load distribution.
11. The natural density of concrete wall result in better sound transmission coefficient.
