The construction industry has always been pushed by innovation. One such innovative technology that is being widely accepted in India is the Mivan Construction Technology. In this blog post, we will discuss what this technology is, the components, process, comparison, and disadvantages it has over traditional brick construction methods. Along with that, we’ll also discuss the use of this technology in India. Let's dive right in.
Aluminium Formwork Technology, or Mivan Technology, is a next-gen idea of constructing buildings that uses a set of aluminium formwork panels and other components to erect high-rise buildings in a short span of time. Aluminium formwork in comparison with the traditional formwork of wood and steel is durable, reusable and easier to use.
The development of Mivan technology dates back to early 1960s Europe. It was Mivan Ltd that patented the method that was first used for residential construction and gained popularity when people became aware about the benefits of this technique such as reduced construction time, low labour costs and improved quality.
The Mivan system has four key components that work together:
Mivan Formwork | Traditional/Brick Formwork |
Short completion period | Long completion period |
Minimal need for skilled labour | High need for skilled labour |
Low maintenance cost | High maintenance cost |
Does not require finishing | Needs finishing at the end |
High seismic resistance | Low seismic resistance |
Low wastage of materials | High wastage of materials |
Like any construction method, Mivan Technology also has its own disadvantages which include:
The aluminium formwork system is a recent innovation in India known to lower costs (after some heavy initial investment), save time, and enhance the overall quality of construction. The adoption of Mivan Technology in India initially faced many challenges. L&T (Larsen And Toubro), a leading construction company, introduced this technology for the first time in India in 2003. They used it for constructing both low and high-rise residential and commercial buildings in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore. However, despite these challenges, India has embraced this technology with open arms, recognizing its potential to address the nation's growing infrastructure needs.
To meet the growing real estate demands of Noida, where a large number of buildings are being built in a very short period of time, Mivan Construction Technology meets these demands for speed, quality, and sustainability. This innovative approach is revolutionizing the way we build, live and treat our environment. Builders like Supertech, Trident, Express, CRC Group, AIG Royal, and many more are adapting to this new technology for their developments in Noida.
