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.
