Mivan Shuttering

 Mivan Shuttering is an aluminum formwork system used in construction to cast walls and slabs in one continuous pour. It is widely used for fast and efficient construction, especially in high-rise buildings.

Key Features of Mivan Shuttering:

1. Material: Made of aluminum, making it lightweight and durable.

2. Speed: Faster construction as walls and slabs are cast together.

3. Finish Quality: Provides smooth concrete surfaces, reducing the need for plastering.

4. Cost-Effective: Though the initial investment is high, it reduces labor costs and project duration.

5. Reusability: Can be reused up to 250+ times, making it suitable for mass housing projects.

Components of Mivan Shuttering:

Wall Panels – Used for vertical structures (walls, columns).

Slab Panels – Used for horizontal structures (slabs).

Deck Beams – Support slab panels.

Prop Heads & Props – Provide temporary support.

Kickers & Rockers – Align the panels correctly.

Advantages of Mivan Formwork:

✅ Faster construction cycle (4–5 days per floor)

✅ Higher seismic resistance due to monolithic structure

✅ Minimal need for skilled labor

✅ Less wastage and better material utilization

Disadvantages of Mivan Formwork:

❌ High initial investment

❌ Requires precise planning and execution

❌ Difficult modifications after construction

Applications:

✔ High-rise buildings

✔ Mass housing projects

✔ Infrastructure projects (bridges, tunnels)
