MIVAN FORMWORK TECHNOLOGY
Construction is one of the significant sectors of Indian economy and is an integral part of the development. Today India’s urban population is the second largest in the world and its future development leads to increased demand for housing to cope with this problem India should desperately need to plan for acquisition of land and rapid creation of dwelling units. Construction is a complex process involving basically the areas of Architectural planning, Engineering & Construction. There is growing realization today that speed of construction needs to be given greater importance especially for large housing projects. This is not only essential for the faster turnover of equipment and investment – leading possible to the reduction in the housing cost but also for achieving the national objective of creating a large stock to overcome shortest possible time. Fortunately, some of the advanced technologies catering to faster speed of construction are already available in the country. For e.g. Prefabrication, autoclaved blocks, tunnel formwork, aluminium formwork (MIVAN Technology) of construction etc.   The aluminium formwork system was developed by Malaysian Company and that’s why the aluminium formwork technology is named after it. Mivan is an aluminium formwork system used widely in the construction of residential units and mass housing projects. It is fast, simple, adaptable, durable and cost effective, produces total quality work which requires minimum maintenance. This system suitable for Indian condition as a tailor made aluminium formwork for cast-in-situ fully concrete structure.  Mivan is new construction technology upcoming for successful completion of mass housing project in India. In this project we have discussed about cost comparison of mivan technology with conventional construction technology. The Mivan technology is absolutely fine with cost, quality and time saving as compare to conventional
