Mivan Shuttering: Merits, Demerits, Pricing In India
Mivan Shuttering
India's urban population has been growing at an average 2.1% every year since 2015 and the economically weaker sections and lower-income group’s account for 96% of the urban shortage. However the housing sector has been unable to meet these growing demands at a quick pace.
Mivan is an aluminum formwork
system which was first manufactured in 1990 by Mivan Company Ltd in Malaysia.
It is suitable for constructing a large number of houses at a faster speed as
this system of formwork construction provides the structural system in one
continuous pour. On the removal of the formwork mold a high quality concrete
finish is produced with accurate tolerances and verticality which nullifies the
need of further plastering.
Mivan Shuttering
is probably the most versatile modern construction system to be introduced in
Indian markets and unlike others it is equally suited to both high and low rise
construction. It is designed to allow rapid construction of multiple unit
projects and increase productivity. A few builders have already started using
this technology and the results will make the rest follow their footsteps.
Mivan shuttering cost calculation ranges from Rs. 8000 – Rs. 9000 per sqm. without any taxes.
Advantages of Mivan shuttering
Mivan shuttering helps fasten the speed of construction
and sometimes even yields a better quality of construction. The finishing is
smooth. It is not labour-intensive and there is an economy of scale as well.
Did you know that 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, it does not
require builders or homeowners to spend much on its maintenance either.
Disadvantages of Mivan construction
Aluminium formwork used in Mivan
Shuttering is costly and might not be economical for small projects. It is
advantageous only if you look at it from a large-scale perspective. These
should also be of uniform layouts.
