What is Mivan technology and what are its uses?

Mivan is a quality aluminum structure developed by a European construction company known as Mivan Company Ltd. In 1990, the company from Malaysia began manufacturing these formwork systems. This innovative form of work is actually suitable for constructing houses in large quantities at a faster speed.

The speed of construction needs to be given greater importance, especially for large housing projects or township project. In order to respond to these unusual challenges in terms of time, cost and quality, the real estate industry has come up with a smart method of construction known as the “MIVAN formwork system”. There are a number of buildings in Mumbai that are being constructed with the help of the Mivan technology, which has been declared economical as well as satisfying for the overall Indian real estate market.

Mivan technology has been used widely 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.
