System of aluminum forms (MIVAN) has been used

widely in the construction of residential units and mass housing

projects. It is fast, simple, adaptable and cost effective. It produces
total quality work which requires minimum maintenance and when
durability is the prime consideration. This system is most suitable for
Indian condition as a tailormade aluminum formwork for castin
situ fully concrete structure.
INTRODUCTION
Mivan is basically an aluminium formwork system
developed by one of the construction company from Europe. In
1990, the Mivan Company Ltd from Malaysia started the
manufacturing of such formwork systems. Now a days more than
30,000 sq m of formwork used in the world are under their
operation. In Mumbai, India there are number of buildings
constructed with the help of the above system which has been
proved to be very economical and satisfactory for Indian
Construction Environment.

3-S SYSTEM OF PRECAST CONSTRUCTI ON

An engineered system of building
construction, namely 3-S system was developed by
B.G.SHIRKE CONSTRUCTION TECH LTD., for achieving,
speed, strength, safety and economy in construction
practices. The system involves structural elements such as
pre-cast hollow column shells pre-cast concrete beams, light
weighed reinforced cellular autoclaved concrete slabs for floor
and roofs constituting the basic structural formwork
FORMWORK

Requirements of a good formwork

The essential requirements of formwork or shuttering are: -
It should be strong enough to take the dead and live loads
during construction.

The joints in the formwork should be rigid so that the bulging,
twisting, or sagging due to dead and live load is as small as
possible. Excessive deformation may disfigure the surface of
concrete.

Classification of formwork

According to size.
According to location of use.
According to materials of construction.
According to nature of operation.
According to brand name of the product.

MIVAN: - A Versatile Formwork




The formwork system is precisely-engineered system fabricated
in aluminium. Using this system, all the elements of a building
namely, load bearing walls, columns, beams, floor slabs, stairs,
balconies etc can be constructed with cast in place concrete. The
resulting structure has a good quality surface finish and accurate
dimensional tolerances. Further, the construction speed is high
and the work can be done in a cost effective manner.

Pre Concrete Activities:

a) Receipt of Equipment on Site The equipments is received
in the site as ordered.

b) Level Surveys Level checking are made to maintain
horizontal level check.

c) Setting Out The setting out of the formwork is done.




Dislodging of pins / wedges due to vibration.

Beam / deck props adjacent to drop areas slipping due to vibration
Ensure all bracing at special areas slipping due to vibration

ECONOMICS
It can be seen that the total cost of ground-plus-seven
building using MIVAN System is Rs.5344/m which is
lower than that in conventional system is Rs.6034/m.( As
calculated by Srinivaschar.P.H, July 2005).
QUALITY:
High quality Formwork panels ensure
consistency of dimensions. On the removal of the
formwork mould a high quality concrete finish is produced
to accurate tolerances and verticality.
ADVANTAGES OF MIVAN FORMWORK ARE:-


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.
LIMITATION OF MIVAN FORMWORK:

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



Modifications are not possible as all members are caste in RCC


It is not useful for small work

CONCLUSION:


The task of housing due to the rising population of the country
is becoming increasingly monumental. In terms of technical capabilities
to face this challenge, the potential is enormous; it only needs to be
judiciously exploited.

We thus infer that MIVAN form construction is able to
provide high quality construction at unbelievable speed and at
reasonable cost. This technology has great potential for application
in India to provide affordable housing to its rising population.

MIVAN serves as a cost effective and efficient tool to solve the
problems of the mega housing project all over the world. MIVAN aims
to maximize the use of modern construction techniques and
equipments on its entire project.
Thus it can be concluded that quality and speed must be given
due consideration with regards to economy. Good quality
construction will never deter to projects speed nor will it be
uneconomical. In fact time consuming repairs and modification
due to poor quality work generally delay the job and cause
additional financial impact on the project.
