Just like modular kitchens have replaced the traditional ones lending greater space efficiency, aesthetic appeal and time saving, mivan technology formwork has helped the real estate sector with easy assembling and quicker construction.
Mivan shuttering: How does it work?
In its ways and procedure, mivan formwork is much like any other formwork. At first, the wall reinforcing steel is used to mould the structure. This steel is pre-casted in the factory and is ported to the construction site. In short, it is ready-made. All the parts in Mivan construction, be it slabs or beams, are tailored to suit the dimensions of the house structure. Given that it is assembled, mivan shuttering can also be dismantled. So far, the Mivan construction formwork has been placed and the next step is to pour concrete on this formwork to strengthen the shape. Over a set period, the Mivan construction structure gathers the required strength and thereafter the formwork is removed.
