[ecis2016.org] In order to bring down the cost of construction while not compromising on the quality of construction, real estate developers are using Mivan Technology – a fast-paced technology that ensures durability of the structure at the same time. This Mivan technology can solve the housing deficit in the country.
Did you know that mivan shuttering can leave behind traditional ways of construction? Most real estate developers and Indian homebuyers may shy away from mivan technology, but if problems like project delays, lack of skilled workforce need to be addressed, it is time the Indian real estate sector tried its hand on mivan construction. Let us explore what mivan formwork actually means, and how it is helpful in the realty space.
What is Mivan Shuttering?
A kind of aluminium formwork, mivan shuttering has travelled across the globe and proved to be an economical variant to the traditional method of construction which is labour-intensive and time-taking. Mivan technology construction is economical when it is a large construction. In Mivan technology, the use of bricks is totally eliminated and all the components- beams, walls, slabs, staircases, etc., is made of concrete. Just like modular kitchens have replaced the traditional ones lending greater space efficiency, aesthetic appeal and time saving, mivan technology formwork has helped the real estate sector with easy assembling and quicker construction.

Mivan shuttering: How does it work?
In its ways and the procedure, mivan formwork is much like any other formwork. At first, the wall reinforcing steel is used to mould the structure. This steel is pre-casted in the factory and is ported to the construction site. In short, it is ready-made. All the parts in Mivan construction, be it slabs or beams, are tailored to suit the dimensions of the house structure. Given that it is assembled, mivan shuttering can also be dismantled. So far, the Mivan construction formwork has been placed and the next step is to pour concrete on this formwork to strengthen the shape. Over a set period of time, the ivan construction structure gathers required strength and thereafter the formwork is removed.
Advantages of Mivan shuttering
As already mentioned, mivan technology helps fasten the speed of construction and sometimes even yields a better quality of construction. The finishing is smooth when Mivan technology is used. It is not labour-intensive and there is an economy of scale as well. Did you know that Mivan construction formwork could be reused? Yes, that is another benefit of using this technology. Mivan formwork can be reused up to 250 times. Given that it is made of concrete, Mivan construction does not require builders or homeowners to spend much on its maintenance either.

Disadvantages of Mivan construction
Aluminium formwork is costly and might not be economical for small projects. Mivan construction is advantageous only if you look at it from a large-scale perspective. These should also be of uniform layouts. Also note that while the process is not labour-intensive, skilled workforce is pivotal to ensure that the alignment, pouring of concrete, etc., is done skillfully and in time.

Mivan technology formwork components
The Mivan technology formwork has been divided into four types:
1) The Mivan technology formwork for wall components include wall panel, stub pin, kickers and rocker.
2) The Mivan technology formwork for deck components include soffit length, deck panels and deck prop and prop length.
3) The Mivan technology formwork for beam components include beam side panel and prop head and panel for soffit beam.

FAQs
A kind of aluminium formwork, Mivan shuttering or Mivan construction technology is an economical and faster way of construction, slowly becoming popular in India.
Mivan shuttering is carried out by skilled workforce that can assemble the aluminium formwork, pour concrete and remove the formwork all in the right time so that the construction is durable.
Formwork is the process of building a temporary mould. At a later stage, concrete is placed into it and the structure is formed. Traditional formwork is fabricated using timber, but it can also be constructed from aluminium, steel and other materials. What is mivan shuttering?
