Definition
Mivan is a brand name that has become synonymous with "Aluminum Formwork Systems" in India. It is a highly engineered, lightweight system of interlocking aluminum panels. Unlike traditional column-and-beam construction, Mivan allows the contractor to pour all walls and the roof slab of an entire floor simultaneously in one monolithic concrete pour, guaranteeing exceptional structural strength, smooth finishes, and blistering speed.
Practical Example
A developer needs to build a 30-story affordable housing tower quickly. Traditional construction takes 15 days per floor. By investing heavily in a custom Mivan shuttering system, they pour all sheer walls, stairs, and slabs together. The smooth finish eliminates the need for plastering, bringing the floor construction cycle down to just 6 days per floor.
Application in Superwise
Mivan requires intense initial capital expenditure, but low recurring labor. Project Planners using Superwise model this cost variance deeply. They use the scheduling engine to map the hyper-accelerated 6-day cycle times across the Gantt chart, automatically adjusting just-in-time material Indents so the site never lacks the massive amounts of concrete required for simultaneous pours.
