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
Indias 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

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

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

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

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
11/9/15

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

11/9/15

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
11/9/15

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

11/9/15

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
11/9/15

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

Quality Enhancements
High quality formwork panels - consistency of

dimensions
Level and verticality
Plastering eliminated
3mm to 4mm skin coat enough for pleasant

appearance
11/9/15

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
11/9/15

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

11/9/15

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

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
