 ABSTRACT

The construction industry is undergoing a paradigm shift with the adoption of innovative technologies aimed
at enhancing efficiency, reducing timelines, and maintaining quality. This paper presents a comparative cost–
benefit analysis of Mivan construction technology versus traditional construction methods. Mivan, an
aluminum formwork system, is known for its speed, precision, and monolithic concrete structures, making it
an increasingly popular choice in high-rise residential and mass housing projects. The study evaluates critical
factors such as initial investment, construction speed, labor requirements, quality of finish, sustainability, and
long-term maintenance costs. While Mivan construction entails a higher initial cost due to formwork and
specialized labor, it demonstrates significant advantages in terms of reduced construction time, lower labor
dependency, minimal material wastage, and consistent structural quality. In contrast, traditional methods,
though cost-effective initially, often suffer from longer timelines, inconsistent workmanship, and higher
cumulative expenses over the project lifecycle. The analysis concludes that Mivan technology, despite its
higher upfront cost, offers substantial benefits in terms of overall efficiency, quality, and long-term savings,
particularly in large-scale developments

 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF INDUSTRY OR USER BASED PROBLEM

1.1 General
Formwork is being used in construction industries as an most important aspect, so as the formwork
technology increases the construction industry will see a positive boost in terms of fast construction and
eventually the end outcome will give us economic benefits. As the population is increasing, constructing a
number of houses to overcome high population rise is a tough task so to make the construction speed fast
mivan formwork system has been used in construction in recent years.

Fig. 1
1.2 Historical development
Mivan is an aluminum formwork system developed by a European construction company. In 1990, the Mivan
Company Ltd . from Malaysia started manufacturing these formwork systems. Before Mivan was introduced as
an formwork system wooden ply formwork system was used and still been used but due to its limitations and
poor workability it has been changed with aluminum formworks in most of the high rise structure. Mivan
formwork is more likely used in Europe, Asia, Gulf Countries, and other parts of the globe. It is suitable for
constructing a large number of houses in a short period of time using room size forms to construct walls and
slabs in one constant pour on concrete. 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.

1.3 Aim The aim of our project is to know all the aspects of MIVAN FORMWORK and get to know all the
techniques used at the construction site and study the 7 day cycle both practically and theoretically.

1.4 In India, development industry is one of the most significant piece of the nation as far as economy and
advancement of the nation. With developing populace, there is urgent need in the development of
framework industry and furthermore advancement of new strategies in development industry. In this way
utilization of advance assembling strategies over the old traditional systems is significant parameter for
the improvement of the nation. This venture portrays the need of mivan innovation in development
industry. Mivan is another innovation contrasted with traditional methods which helps in fruitful
culmination of the undertaking inside recommended time and furthermore cost sparing. Right now is
accomplished for cost and time between ordinary formwork and mivan formwork by utilizing Microsoft
Project.

1.5 The modern methods of construction are broad range of processes and products that aims to improve
business efficiency, quality, customer satisfaction, environmental performance, sustainability and the
predictability of delivery timescales. The construction industry is one of the biggest industries in the whole
world. The contribution of this industry towards the global GDP is enormous. In recent years due to
globalization and advancement in technologies there has been a tremendous development in the
construction industry. In the countries like India and China the situation on the housing front is even
worst. Due to ever increasing population in these countries there is an overgrowing demand for housing.
Now keeping in view the gigantic task of providing affordable shelter to masses, adoption of modern and
cost effective technology assumes greater significance. Today there is a growing realization that the speed
of construction needs to be given greater importance especially for large housing projects. "For
undertaking mass housing works, it is necessary to have innovative technologies which are capable of fast
rate construction and are able to deliver good quality and durable structure in cost effective manner.
Several systems are adopted all over the world but Mivan system has proved to be reasonably economical
and capable of fast rate construction of mass housing. In this system walls and slabs are cast
simultaneously at site by use of specially designed, easy to handle light weight aluminum forms. The
system is far faster than the traditional beam and column construction.

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.

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 analyze 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.

for a multicore project.

Mayank Patel, Jayesh Kumar Pitroda and J.J. Bhavsar (2015) have done a case study on Godrej
Garden City located in Jagatpur, Ahmedabad which is constructed by using the Aluminium formwork. In this
project two types of Aluminium formwork used which are Kumkang Aluminium formwork and Mivan
Aluminium formwork. According to this study, aluminium formwork saves duration and cost of the
construction work. Due to light weight of Aluminium formwork is labour friendly and easy to handling.
Aluminium Formwork gives better surface finishes so no need of plaster.

Parveen, SaShankar Bimal Banerjee, Pawan Dilip Barhate and Vipul Pradip Jaiswal (2015)
study gives the brief introduction of Mivan technology. This study shows Aluminium formwork load bearing
capacity is about 7-8 tonnes per square meter and weigh aroun20 kg per square meter. This mentioned cycle
time of aluminium formwork is 7 days per floor. Mivan technology provides high quality construction at
reasonable price in short duration.

P. Dinesh, M. Soundararajan (2017) The goal of this study was to discover the qualitative parameters
that influence formwork selection in distinct buildings. Flexibility and adaptability (Fixable Sizes) Formwork
should be modular and adaptable to varied structural sizes and shapes so that it can be employed on a variety
of projects. Quality & Surface Finish Quality, of structural finish, Availability Formwork should be viable for the
particular project depending on cost and availability. Availability of materials and suppliers, cost, structure
type, and time factor Faster floor cycles have an impact on formwork selection, as do adaptability, flexibility,
quality, cost, and structural type. Time variables also play a part in formwork selection.
Miss Renuka Hangarge, Mr. Ashish Waghmare Mr. Shridhar Patil (2017) In the construction
sector, there are various forms of formwork. The information was gathered from many companies in order to
compare the cost, length, and quality of various forms of formwork. Aluminum formwork has a higher
beginning cost than other varieties, according to the analysis. In terms of duration, production, quality, and
repetition For largescale construction projects, aluminium formwork is a viable option. Aluminum formwork is
cost-effective for normal floors since the number of repetitions is great and labour expenses are low when
compared to other varieties. At the same time, depending on the project type and floor height, aluminium
formwork is ineffective for smaller projects.

Mitul R., Rokade Nikhil S. Bhor, Aniket K. virkar, Aksah yrode, & Maid Nilesh S. maid (2017)
When the concrete has hardened, the formwork is removed, leaving a solid mass in the shape of the
formwork's inner face. Formwork systems are one of the most important variables in influencing the quality,
quantity, labour, time, and cost of a building project. The goal of this research is to determine the numerous
elements that influence the output of formwork. When it comes to construction projects, the contractor
wants to complete the work quickly and profitably, while the client wants to use the structure as soon as
feasible.

PROPOSED DETAILED 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.

1. Appropriate Site Selection

2. Preparation of Questionnaires
3. Collection of Data
4. Analysis of Data
5. Comparison of data collected
6. Conclusion

Here we have explained the standard 7 days cycle it may change to 8,9 or 10+ days according to site
conditions but the activities involved in it remains same sometimes the big companies with good knowledge
about the technology complete this 7 days cycle in 4,5 or 6 days with good workers and night duty it can also
be achieved. Each individual day which activity we should do to achieve a slab cycle of 7 days. This 7 day slab
cycle is further divided into 14 activities which can be seen in detail further.

3.2 Theoretical Methodology

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.

3.3 Practical methodology

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 7 day 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.

3.4 Mivan Construction

In this Construction main or major part is Formwork and this formwork is different from other form work. In
this construction formwork is prepared initially means formwork is planned for particular building and that will
be used for related planes only and it will not fit for the other type of plans and these formwork can be used
many times for construction these formwork will not break easily and we can easily handle materials means
easy to assemble and dismantle. After dismantling the formwork we can get smooth surface or finishing on
walls and other components this will reduce the plastering works. once concrete is done we cannot change
and disturb the structure , we can’t make a hole’s on any surface. In this construction after concreting we will
cross check the dimensions and slab levels of the Structure. In this construction it requires Skilled labors.

3.4.1 Advantages and Disadvantages Of Mivan Technology

Advantages Disadvantages
Mivan Formwork requires less Laboure. Skilled labors Requires.

Faster Completion of Construction. Initial setup takes more time.

Lesser Noof joints and reduced leakages. Changes cannot be done after completion.

Smooth Finishing of wall and slab. Leakage issue during rainy season.
Low Maintenance Superior Quality of Materials.

3.5 Conventional Construction

This is the Basic or oldest method. Conventional construction is a method of ordinary or standard construction
.it commonly involves the utility of traditional materials and that materials are available easily In near by
places .Most of Conventional building are based upon plans are simple measurements, As well as regular floor
plans. While prefabricated construction is quicker it doesn’t always produce the same dependability as
conventional construction. The However we can Build the beauty of Building or Structure Conventional
Structure is that it causes no two buildings to be same each building constructed this way is individually
designed from the ground up. Conventional structure building also posses an exceptional durability that is
specific to thus method. In this construction method materials are to be modified however we want or
depending upon work. For this construction skilled and non skilled both labors are Suitable .

Advantages Disadvantages

Limitations of MIVAN Formwork
Even though there are so many advantages of MIVAN formwork the limitations cannot be ignored.
However the limitations do not pose any serious problems.

They are as follows: -

1) Because of small sizes finishing lines are seen on the concrete surfaces.

2) Concealed services become difficult due to small thickness of components.

3) It requires uniform planning as well as uniform elevations to be cost effective.

4) Modifications are not possible as all members are caste in RCC.

5) Large volume of work is necessary to be cost effective i.e. at least 200 repetitions of the forms
should be possible at work.

6) The formwork requires number of spacer, wall ties etc. which are placed @ 2 feet c/c; these
create problems such as seepage, leakages during monsoon.

7) Due to box-type construction shrinkage cracks are likely to appear.

8) Heat of Hydration is high due to shear walls. Remedial Measures In external walls, ties used in
shutter connection create holes in wall after deshuttering. These may become a source of leakage if
care is not taken to grout the holes. Due to box-type construction shrinkage cracks are likely to
appear around door and window openings in the walls. It is possible to minimize these cracks by
providing control strips in the structure which could be concreted after a delay of about 3 to 7 days
after major concreting. The problem of cracking can be avoided by minimizing the heat of hydration
by using flyash.

Technical Limitations
1. Limited flexibility: MIVAN formwork is designed for specific building designs and may not be
suitable for complex or irregularly shaped structures.

2. High initial investment: The initial cost of MIVAN formwork can be higher than traditional
formwork methods.

The building in plan made an angle of 1720, 168º and 1610 with each other. The quality of
construction is maintained at the site with the use of RMC. The RMC plant has a capacity of
producing 90 cubic meter of concrete of concrete per hour. The concrete used was of 25 grades.
The construction from foundation up to stilt is done with conventional practice while the upper
floors are constructed using ‘MIVAN’ technology. The construction company has imported three
sets of aluminium forms. The cost is about Rs.500/- sq.ft as against Rs.650/- sq.ft using
conventional methods. Thus it can be said that even though the cost of construction is little bit high
it has an unmatched quality compared to the conventional method. MIVAN formwork played a vital
role in the construction of the project. The project was completed not only on stipulated period of
time but also paid off with its attributes. Speedy & quality dwelling units were provided to the
people of low income groups at very reasonable costs. MIVAN is a definitely future of this ever
growing construction industry with lots of project still awaiting its touch of excellence.

Work cycle

MIVAN is a system for scheduling & controlling the work of other connected construction trades
such as steel reinforcement, concrete placements & electrical inserts. The work at site hence
follows a particular sequence. The work cycle begins with the deshuttering of the panels. It takes
about 12-15hrs. It is followed by positioning of the brackets & platforms on the level. It takes about
10-15hrs simultaneously. The deshuttered panels are lifted & fixed on the floor .The activity
requires 7-10 hours. Kicker & External shutters are fixed in 7 hrs. The wall shutters are erected in 6-
8 hrs One of the major activity reinforcement requires 10-12 hrs. The fixing of the electrical
conduits takes about 10 hrs and finally pouring of concrete takes place in these. This is a well
synchronized work cycle for a period of 7 days. A period of 10-12 hrs is left after concreting for the
concrete to gain strength before the beginning of the next cycle. This work schedule has been
planned for 1010-1080 sq m of formwork with 72-25cu m of concreting & approximate
reinforcement. The formwork assembling at the site is a quick & easy process. On leaving the
MIVAN factory all panels are clearly labeled to ensure that they are easily identifiable on site and
can be smoothly fitted together using formwork modulation drawings. All formwork begins from
corners and proceeds from there. The system usually follows a four day cycle: -
Day 1: -The first activity consists of erection of vertical reinforcement bars and one side of the
vertical formwork for the entire floor or a part of one floor.
Day 2: -The second activity involves erection of the second side of the vertical formwork and
formwork for the floor
Day 3: - Fixing reinforcement bars for floor slabs and casting of walls and slabs.
Day 4: -Removal of vertical form work panels after 24hours, leaving the props in place for 7 days
and floor slab formwork in place for 2.5 days.

 Cost – Benefit analysis of MIVAN Construction Compared to Traditional Methods

The work cycle of MIVAN (Modular Integrated Vaulted Architecture) construction involves a series
of repetitive steps that are designed to optimize efficiency and productivity. The following is a
general overview of the MIVAN work cycle:

Step 1: Slab Pouring

1. Slab preparation: The slab is prepared by laying down a layer of concrete and finishing it to the
required level.
2. Slab pouring: The slab is poured, and the concrete is spread and finished to the required
specifications.

Step 2: Wall Formwork Erection

1. Formwork assembly: The wall formwork is assembled and connected according to the design and
erection plan.
2. Formwork placement: The wall formwork is placed in the correct position and aligned to the
required tolerances.

Step 3: Wall Concrete Pouring

1. Concrete preparation: The concrete is prepared and poured into the wall formwork.
2. Concrete finishing: The concrete is finished to the required specifications.

Step 4: Slab Formwork Erection

1. Formwork assembly: The slab formwork is assembled and connected according to the design and
erection plan.
2. Formwork placement: The slab formwork is placed in the correct position and aligned to the
required tolerances.

Step 5: Slab Concrete Pouring

1. Concrete preparation: The concrete is prepared and poured into the slab formwork.
2. Concrete finishing: The concrete is finished to the required specifications.

Step 6: Repetition of Cycle

The MIVAN work cycle is repetitive, with each step building on the previous one. The cycle is
repeated for each floor or section of the building, allowing for efficient and rapid construction.

Construction with MIVAN

A) PRE – CONCRETE ACTIVITIES

a) Receipt of Equipment on Site – The equipments is received in the site as ordered.
b) Level Surveys – Level checking are made to maintain horizontal level check.
c) Setting Out – The setting out of the formwork is done.
d) Control / Correction of Deviation – Deviation or any correction are carried out.
e) Erect Formwork – The formwork is erected on site.
f) Erect Deck Formwork – Deck is erected for labours to work.
g) Setting Kickers – kickers are provided over the beam.
After the above activities have been completed it is necessary to check the following.
1. All formwork should be cleaned and coated with approved realize agent.
2. Ensure wall formwork is erected to the setting out lines.
3. Check all openings are of correct dimensions, not twist.
4. Check all horizontal formwork (deck soffit, and beam soffit etc.) in level.
5. Ensure deck and beam props are vertical and there is vertical movement in the prop lengths.
6. Check wall ties, pins and wedges are all in position and secure.
7. Any surplus material or items to be cleared from the area to be cast.
8. Ensure working platform brackets are securely fastened to the concrete.

B) ON CONCRETE ACTIVITIES
At least two operatives should be on stand by during concreting for checking pins, wedges and wall
ties as the pour is in progress. Pins, wedges or wall ties missing could lead to a movement of the
formwork and possibility of the formwork being damaged. This – effected area will then required
remedial work after striking of the formwork. Things to look for during concreting:
i. Dislodging of pins / wedges due to vibration.
ii. Beam / deck props adjacent to drop areas slipping due to vibration.
iii. Ensure all bracing at special areas slipping due to vibration.
iv. Overspill of concrete at window opening etc.

POST – CONCRETE ACTIVITIES

i) Strike Wall Form- It is required to strike down the wall form.
ii) Strike Deck Form- The deck form is then removed.
iii) Clean, Transport and stack formwork
iv) Strike Kicker Formwork – The kicker are removed.
v) Strike wall – Mounted on a Working Platform the wall are fitted on next floor.

 Cost – Benefit analysis of MIVAN Construction Compared to Traditional Methods

vi) Erect Wall – Mount Working Platform and the wall is erected. Normally all formwork can be
struck after 12 hours.

The post-concreting activities includes:

CLEANING All components should be cleaned with scrapers and wire brushes as soon as they are
struck. Wire brush is to be used on side rails only. The longer cleaning is delayed, the more difficult
the task will be. It is usually best to clean panels in the area where they are struck. TRANSPORTING
There are basic three methods recommended when transporting to the next floor:

i. The heaviest and the longest, which is a full height of wall panel, can be carried up the nearest
stairway.
ii. Passes through void areas.
iii. Rose through slots specially formed in the floor slab for this purpose. Once they have served
their purpose they are closed by casting in concrete filter.

STRIKING Once cleaned and transported to the next point of erection, panels should be stacked at
right place and in right order. Proper stacking is a clean sign of a wall – managed operation greatly
aids the next sequence of erection as well as prevents clutters and impend other activities.

 Also from the research it is observed that time for constructions require less as compared to
conventional building. i.e. Time saving or rapid construction.
 From the case study it is seen that quality of construction is better than conventional
building construction quality.
 But initial cost of mivan building is higher than conventional building.
 Construction industry is the most important part of Indian economy, so Mivan technology
plays and important role in growth of construction in India.
 After going through the papers on MIVAN formwork and conventional formwork, it
becomes clear how important MIVAN formwork is for the construction of high rise
buildings. The papers cited thoroughly analyse their fields of study, making it simpler for the
following researchers to investigate their field of research more effectively.
 Most of the papers have discussed about formwork in construction, Conventional Formwork
and MIVAN formwork. All the papers focused on comparing the cost and duration of
Conventional formwork and Mivan formwork extensively. After going through the papers
briefly it can be concluded that the construction duration using MIVAN formwork was found
to be half the time required with conventional formwork for the same type of building.
 Most of the papers indicated that the cost of construction using MIVAN formwork was
lesser when compared to Conventional formwork for the same building. Hence it can be
concluded that Mivan Formwork is more efficient in terms of time, money, and quality if
there is a greater volume of work. Although the initial investment is high, it is advised for
large projects because it offsets the cost with expedited construction and ultimately greater
economy. When time-effective formwork is required for construction, Mivan Formwork is
preferable. The Mivan technology system can produce construction of superior quality at
unexpectedly rapid construction speeds while also being reasonably priced. The best option
to address the demand for energy efficient and cost-effective housing, according to survey
of the literature and references, is to use modern construction methods like MIVAN
technology.
 Also It is concluded from the above data analysis that mivan construction require less time
and cost to complete construction. In this construction there is no requirement of plastering
walls aluminium formwork will provide better surface finish. Hence it is much better than
conventional brickwork construction.
