Mivan – A Versatile Formwork for the New Age
Population explosion has always been a bottleneck to the development for Indian society especially providing housing for low income groups is both gigantic and a complex problem. A host of issues operating in the political, social, legal, financial, and technological domains are needed to be tackled effectively to arrive at a meaningful solution. India desperately needs a lot of rapid dwelling units. Mass housing project is one of the solutions to the overgrowing problem. Speed of construction and quality of construction bolsters this technology.
MIVAN is an upcoming technology which has empowered and motivated the mass construction projects throughout the world. In this paper, I have discussed about the pioneering and yet pragmatic approach of this technology with provisions of speed, quality, financial incentives and construction aspects which is required for a successful completion of mass housing project.
This paper also includes comparison of aluminum formwork technology and conventional system. This comparison also reveals the reduced total cost of a ground-plus-seven building. Other aspects include its box type construction which proves much advantageous as far as earthquake resistant structure is considered.
Good quality construction should not deter the project speed nor should it be uneconomical. A genuine effort has been taken in this paper to cover all the aspects of the MIVAN technology keeping a motto in mind that “Cost is long forgotten, but the Quality is remembered forever”.

The data given is very good, can i have detail of methodology i.e. process of construction with this system in detail, technical aspects and costing of mivan system
Correspondents towards the aluminum form work u guys are mentioning, we are manufacturer and also supplier for this system in malaysia, drop me email to me if u have any enquirie, thanks
What should be thicness of walls – external, internal in MIVAN Technology? Whether does IS codal provisions exist to comply MIVAN Technolgy as far as design of walls and slab together is concerned.
The thickness of walls would depend on the design and height of the building, as walls in Mivan tech are load-bearing. I am not aware of existing provisions in IS codes that cover Mivan technology. It is a proprietary technique that is used very rarely.
What is approx.cost of Mivan Shuttering in proportion to cost of project for optimum result cost wise.
how much Mivan shuttering cost vis-a-vis project cost foreight storied building for about 128 reuses.
