INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Big famous towers in Mumbai are also constructed by mivan formwork like lodha
one towers, dosti towers all big builders have adopted mivan as their main formwork system
for construction.
This chart shows that Indian construction has been changing and adopting new form
of construction formwork but still lacking behind in some parts where replacing or changing
the existing formwork system is not accepted yet.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Atul R.Kolhe, et. al (2014), For implementing the ‘Location Based Repetitive Scheduling
Method (LBRSM) and analyzing the results the commercial housing project ‘MEGAPOLIS’, at
Pune city has been taken asa case study. The data were collected during several visits to the field
and site offices from the different persons.The consultant for the project is RSP, Singapore who
are the pioneers in integrated township designs and Belt Collins, Singapore, who are the global
leaders in the art of landscaping. This prime project has been introduced by Pegasus Properties
Pvt. Ltd. and has been execute by Joint Venture of two Leading groups in Pune, ‘Kumar
Properties’ & ‘Avinash Bhoslae Group’. Every Building is to be executed with two floors sub
structure in conventional works & the rest in ‘MIVAN’ type of specialized aluminum base
material.
Arbaz Kazi, et.al (2015), International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology: To
address the housing and transportation requirements of an exponentially increasing population,
Indian construction industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Thus with the globalization of
Indian economy & introduction of multinational companies in India for construction activities, it
has become imperative to have precise & speedy construction projects. Formwork is an
important part of construction and it takes 25-30 % of total cost of construction. Thus with the
use of new technologies in formwork, construction permits casting of larger elements in a single
pour, which reduces time and labor requirement as compared to conventional methods.In this
paper, an attempt is made to have a comparative study of established conventional formwork
technology with a set of new formwork techniques, which are currently not used much in the
Indian construction industry; and hence suggest which method is superior for the construction
project under consideration.
Ganar A. S., et.al (2015), The project involves cost and duration analysis of a building
constructed by Conventional formwork building and MIVAN formwork building. The buildings
are of G+12 floors and the area of both the buildings are 771.92 Sqm with 2.95 m as the height
of each floor. The analysis involves the quantity calculation for cost for both buildings and
duration comparison of conventional formwork building and MIVAN formwork building.

Kushal Patil, et.al (2015), The aluminum formwork system was developed by Malaysian
Company and that’s why the aluminum formwork technology is named after it. Mivan is a new
construction technology upcoming for successful completion of mass housing projects in India.
The project also includes remedial measures for one of the defects in mivan technology i.e.,
segregation while placing the concrete resulting honeycombing in shear walls by using
“MasterGleniumACE30JP” admixture.
Mayank Patel, et.al (2015), Formwork systems are among the key factors determining the
success of a construction project in terms of speed, quality, cost and safety of the works. The
rapid advancement in the field of formwork along with the innovation in concrete as a material
has led to a revolutionary change where safer, quicker, sustainable and more efficient
construction is possible these days. The aluminum formwork system is very cost effective. This
is one of the systems identified to be very much suitable for Indian conditions for mass
construction, where quality and speed can be achieved at a high level. The labour handles this
method effectively to speed up the construction, to assure quality control.
Prathul U, et.al (2015), Productivity is the important factor affecting the overall efficiency in
Construction sites. At site level productivity can be grouped under various departments like
productivity in concrete, steel work and shuttering. The main aim of the study is to analyse
productivity by comparing conventional and Mivan formwork. The study showed that mivan
formwork has higher productivity when compared to conventional formwork and proves
economical for repetitive jobs.
Sajeet.S.B, et.al (2015), In recent times due to globalization, the construction industry has
started focusing on new innovative ways of working. The construction industry has started
adopting new technologies and approaches in order to increase the overall efficiency of the
project. The “aluminum formwork systems” which is also called as Mivan wall System is one
such new technology which has been used extensively across the world. Further investigation is
carried out to know the contribution of different shapes of Mivan wall building to lateral strength
and lateral stiffness of the high-rise building. Along with this the comparison has been carried
out between different shapes of Mivan wall building.

METHODOLOGY
3.1 – General
The method used for gathering the information knowing the concepts related to mivan
formwork is explained in this part of the research paper. Step wise plan of our project has been
stated in this part of the report, means firstly we started with the theoretical study of the topic in
which we gathered previous studies made on it and also studied them for getting to know the
entire concept of the topic theoretically.
Once the theoretical methodology is completed, we headed towards practical
methodology in which by choosing a construction site and analyzing the working of mivan
technology there in a floor-to-floor slab cycle.
The theoretical methodology consists of the theoretic approach to the topic when we study
all the previous research papers, journals, articles, etc.. study materials to get the idea of the topic
this is considered as a theoretical approach on construction technology.
Considering our topic at the very start we have been collecting the literature present on
the internet. After collecting more than 50 research papers we after studying them in depth got to
know all the concepts of the technology in terms of theory and were then ready to go to a
construction site to work out all these concepts practically.
A practical approach to the research work was performed by identifying the formwork new
techniques all around the world studying then the concerned literature reviewed on formwork
system data collection and analysis later is perfromed this all works are helped at construction
site at the time of case study.
We have performed a 7day slab cycle internship at a construction site equipped with mivan
formwork there. We have made notes of all the activities at site and noted down all the small
points studied there with the help of site engineers and project managers working there and took
pictures of each and every activity in detail.

3.2 – Mivan Shuttering 7 days Slab Cycle
Activity 1: Grid line work
In this activity points are given by the surveyor and as per the points given the grid
line is placed as x axis and y axis according to the drawing till the end of the building drawing,
so keeping the reference of these can help in maintaining the structure. The engineer must always
ensure checking of formwork with the reference to grid lines only. Hole is left in the slab with
the help of placing sleeves and then using a plumb bob by aligning it to the upper floor grid line
can be placed easily. This method saves money and time and its accuracy is same as that of the
surveyor.

On site the corners should have more of thesi then compared to the center as it has more
chances to collapse. In this thesi work has to be completed and these are the things which have
to be kept in mind while doing thesi wok.
Activity 3: Column and non-structural wall reinforcement work
This is the standard activity which is common in all construction fields. The purpose of
reinforcement is to provide additional strength for concrete where it is needed. As per Structural
drawing complete reinforcement work is done the bars are placed according to it and the covers
are also provided by keeping the structural drawing in mind and as per this and after its checking
work is completed.
10
Activity – 4: Column and wall panel erection work
Wall panels are placed on kickers and kickers are supported by the thesi which was fixed
previously. The main thing to be considered during this activity is the oiling of the panels of the
side facing the concrete to overcome the chances of sticking of concrete on the panel and for
better finishing. This wall panels are fixed with each other vertically using the pin and wedge the
standard number of pin pattis used are it should be 600 mm between two pin pattis and at the
bottom sides should be at the distance of 300 mm distances as the pressure of the concrete at the
time of casting is high at the bottom side of panel. Deck paneling will only be started ones the
wall panels are intact ones wall panel work is done beam bottom works are started as soon as the
wall paneling is done. All wall panels are attached with a flat tie which should be one flat tie
from bottom at 200 mm and all other at 500 nm intervals as there will be high pressure of
concrete in the bottom side.
11
Activity – 6: Internal checking
At this point of time as the paneling and deck work is completed its checking has
to be done for to proceed on the next activity, this checklist provides a check point to engineers
to ensure correct execution of work and avoid reworks.
It’s very difficult having repairs later and cost huge and may cause losses to the owner if not
executed properly.
In a broad way there are two types of checking which are considered in sites mainly internal
checking and the external checking, Internal checking is done when the internal components are
fixed, and they are checked according to the kayam line Dori and dimensions are checked
according to drawing.
Before placing the concrete, Check the reinforcement details with a bar bending schedule
and get an approval from a structural consultant.
12
Activity – 8 - Levelling work of slab
There are two common methods used on site to check the levelling of the slab one is by
using dumpy level and second one which is most used is by marking the TBM and by line Dori
making the slab on level.
A. Slab checking by dumpy level.
Setting up Your Level, find a benchmark location at the site where you want to
check the levelling. set the tripod up near the spot you want to measure. then connect
your device to the tripod and position it over 2 levelling screws and adjust them
accordingly. Turn your telescope 90 degrees and adjust the third levelling screw.
Check your level’s calibration by turning it 180 degrees. Focusing Your Level,
remove your dumpy level’s lens cap. Adjust the eyepiece until you can see the
device’s crosshairs. Twist the device’s focusing knob until the image is clear.
Taking a Measurement, Position an E staff on top of your benchmark spot. Find
the height difference between your level and the benchmark spot. Calculate your
level’s actual height using the benchmark height. Find the height difference between
your level and the unmeasured spot. Calculate the spot’s actual height using your
level’s height.
13
Activity – 9: External Checking
Then the external checking is done at the top of slab in which alignment and the works has been
done according to drawing is done or not is checked properly by the civil engineers and the
authority specialist in Mivan is they’re at the time of external checking. The common check of
Mivan in external checking is Plumb bob check, lift check, stairs check. Right Angle Check is
done on the slab to check the overall alignment of the slab. In this type of checking 2 long spans
of the slab are considered and then also considered as the sides of the right angle of triangle and
then its hypo is calculated manually and practically if matched overall alignment is proper of the
slab.
Activity – 10: Electrical conduiting work
An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or
structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is
rigid, but flexible conduit is used for electrical wiring purposes in the construction Industry.
Conduits which are to be taken in the ceiling slab shall be laid on the prepared shuttering work of
the ceiling slab before concrete is poured. The conduits, boxes, accessories, joints, etc. shall be
laid along with the conduits.
14
Activity – 11: Complete grid line checking
Complete grid line checking means that all the panels should be at right distance from each
other, so the room dimensions are not to be affected because of it. All supporting panels should
be in the right position and must be tight and fixed properly to overcome chances of collapse at
the time of casting.
Activity – 12: Arrangement for casting
Planning for the casting the previous day because in mivan there is a mass concreting so to
avoid delay the setting of the 125 mm diameters pipelines are fixed with the diesel or petrol
pump to pump the concreting up in high rise structures. Production of Concrete, Stock of
material shall be sufficient to start the concrete. It shall be ensured by stores/purchase depth that
concreting is not stopped on account of materials. All plants and machinery are checked and
made in working conditions. Concrete Pouring, Proper walkways/platforms shall be arranged so
that the supports of the pipeline and manpower are not directly standing on reinforcement.
15
Activity – 14: Casting
As the complete floor is casted at ones in this form of construction so there is no use of
contraction joints as mostly used in conventional way of construction. Cast the concrete
according to the pathway decided earlier and follow the instructions given by the site engineer
given to the workers. Firstly, columns are filled with concrete then beam and lastly concreting of
the slab is done at the site consisting of mivan formwork. To avoid the voids and to get better
finish good quality needle vibrators are used on the sites mostly of best in class as it has to go
right through the bottom of columns and shear wall and vibrate it.
Rubber hammer are the other things which are used at the construction sites and
hammer made with rubber which makes vibrations when hit hard on wall panels. So, the workers
hit it on the panels from downside at the time of casting. After that power float is used for the
smooth finish surface purpose.

COMPARISON
When we compare mivan with other forms of formworks we can see many changes in terms of
its materials used, the work cycles and comparison in terms of end outcomes in this way mivan
can be compared with other sort of formworks.
Mainly in India the most used formwork is conventional type of formwork so comparing
it with mivan makes the most sense in terms of speed of construction, quality, aesthetics, external
finishes, maintenance, and the cost comparison has to be done and all this comparison will be
done with the reference to case study and research works done till now.
4.1 – Quality Comparison
As mivan is a new technology and is for the new era of construction it also provides
great quality in terms of wall finishing and smoothness of the wall no voids are seen
after the concreting maximum of it is wiped because of the good construction
material used and aluminum formwork used.
Houses made by mivan formwork systems are more powerful than houses made from
conventional formwork systems.
4.2 – Aesthetics Comparison
In conventional construction partition walls are made with block work except shear
walls all the walls are made with block works and hence shows the unevenness with
beams and columns and gives an anaesthetic look to the structure.
In mivan all the wall and other components of the superstructure are casted together,
so it doesn't show unevenness and gives the building an aesthetic look.
4.3 – External Finishes Comparison
In conventional formwork systems and in block work manual cement plastering is
required and is also not permanent it requires continuous repair and due to its poor
strengths, it must be repainted frequently and while in mivan external wall shows
smooth finishes and requires no repairing frequently.
4.4 – Maintenance Comparison
In Conventional form of construction there is an high chances of maintenance work
as plaster requires repair ceiling plaster may get affected due to leakage so as inner
walls may get affected due to leakage as the block wall tends to have maintenance
cost high but as compared to mivan there is an negligible cost of repair and no
frequent repairing is needed in this kind of construction.
4.5 – Cost Comparison
As cost in conventional initial phase of the project is very less as compared to the
mivan but in long term mivan wins the cost comparison as mivan is for 250 slab
cycles using is for construction is the first choice for builders financially. As mivan is
an aluminum formwork it has good scrap values also which is way more than other
forms of formwork.
17
Sr.No. Formwork Scrap Value%
1 Conventional 10%
2 Steel 30%
3 Aluminum 50%

CHAPTER – 5
CONCLUSION
Our conclusion will be that mivan formwork can become backbone to the Indian construction
industry, As India being the construction capital of world due to the frequency of the
construction going on in India and due the large population adopting mivan as the main form of
Formwork system will be very much beneficial to our countries growth, it can fulfil our demand
for efficient and sustainable housing also the speed of construction and cost is less as compared
to other forms of formwork system.
1. Adopting new techniques in construction after using traditional techniques for many
years is very difficult but needs to be adopted for the betterment of the Indian construction
industry.
2. It can also be concluded that the overall cost and duration is reduced drastically when we
use mivan as the main formwork system instead of conventional formwork system.
3. The floor-to-floor cycle when using mivan is of 7 days which is standard which changes
due to site conditions it goes to 4 days and even at 10 days which is still way less than
conventional formwork system which is of 20 days minimum.
4. Mivan formwork is not only the fast pace construction system but also the cost efficient
and can be used for mass township projects.
5. Mivan even has indirect benefits as it has good scrap value and is 100% recyclable and
also thus environment friendly. It can now be concluded that mivan is a most suitable type of
formwork system in India as it is economical since labour cost is comparatively less and the
number of repetition is more and is also time saving.
