Formwork systems are among the key factors determining the success
of a construction project in terms of speed, quality, cost and safety of
the works. The rapid advancement in the field of formwork along with the
innovation in concrete as a material has to lead to a revolutionary change
where safer, quicker, sustainable and more efficient construction is
possible these days. The aluminium forms are recent scenario of the Indian
construction industry. The aluminium formwork system saves cost, time
and improves the quality of construction. Aluminum formwork is
successfully used in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and the Middle East for the
construction of apartments and buildings, both low and high rises. The
aluminium formwork system is very cost effective. This is one of the
systems identified to be very much suitable for Indian conditions for mass
construction, where quality and speed can be achieved at a high level. The
labor handles this method effectively to speed up the construction, to assure
quality control and
Contents of my presentation:
The most effective means available for the construction of high, medium
and low rise mass housing R/C structures.
It is a precision-engineered formwork fabricated in Aluminium.
Induces a disciplined & systemized approach to construction, which
creates a daily work cycle, the essence of the productivity. The
productivity generates an overall work cycle, that can achieve 4 day per
floor outputs or other cycle times to suit your project requirements.
It is flexible in design and can form any architectural or structural
configuration, such as stairs, bay windows, curved features, etc.
When struck the aluminium formwork reveals a good quality fair face onto
which a 4–5mm skim coat can be applied for a perfect finish.
Provides an Integrated Scaffolding reducing the cost of your scaffolding
requirements.
The formwork panels are manually handled, generating further savings on
heavy equipment and crane.
Mechanical and electrical installation is simplified where conducts are
embedded in the structure and by precise engineering of outlets and
service ducts.
Merits of the MIVAN Technology:
Speed – Reduces the total turnaround time by almost half when compared
to conventional construction techniques.
Demands Less Labour – With a set procedure and checklists to follow,
This technology minimizes the need for skilled labour and also eliminates
Activities like masonry and rendering activities which are labour intensive.
Seismic Resistant & Durable – The buildings are more seismic resistant
And more durable.
Less Maintenance – Primarily with no construction joints and with free flow
concrete used, this technology reduces the chances of seepage which
Further results in negligible maintenance.
Smooth Finish – Mivan construction ensures uniformity, hence all walls
And slabs have a smooth finish which means additional plastering is not
needed.
Higher Carpet Area – it gives the scope to take out more carpet area in
comparison to traditional construction techniques.
Earthquake Resistant – More earthquake resistant structure and safer in
Case of a strong earthquake. This is because structures built using Mivan
Is a monolithic concrete structure which acts as a whole single strong unit
Demerits of the MIVAN Technology
Uses
To provide quick, clean and easy stripping of moulds, and formwork and
ensure high quality fair-faced and stain-free concrete.
Advantages
Ensures easy release, good fair-faced concrete
Can be used on all types of formwork
Minimizes surface blemishes and staining
Minimizes cleaning of shutters before re-use
Reduces opportunity of damage to formwork, extending usable life.
WALL TIES HOLES PACKING – FOSROC RENDEROC (RG)
Advantages
Gaseous expansion system compensates for shrinkage and settlement
in the plastic state.
Can be pumped or poured into restricted locations.
Highly fluid to allow for placement without vibration.
Pre-packed to overcome site-batched variations.
Rapid strength gain to facilitate early reinstatement.
High ultimate strengths and low permeability of cured repair.
Contains no chloride admixture
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.

10 Walkway Bracket
13 Props for LH
14 Waller Holder
17 Panel Puller
18 Tie Puller
MATERIAL SHIFTING:
There are basic three methods recommended when
transporting to the next floor:
The heaviest and the longest, which is a full height of
wall panel, can be carried up the nearest stairway.
Passes through void areas.
Pass through slots specially formed in the floor slab for
this purpose. Once they have served their purpose they
are closed by casting in concrete.
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 well-managed operation greatly aids
the next sequence of erection as well as prevents clutters and
impend other activities
SAFE STORAGE METHODS:
Formwork panels and any other material and equipment must be stored a
safe distance from overhead powerlines. The safe distance depends upon the
amount of power in the lines. Section 188 of the Construction Regulation
defines the minimum safe distances:
Proximity to overhead electrical equipment
(2) No object shall be brought closer to an energized overhead electrical
conductor with a nominal phase-to-phase voltage rating set out in Column 1
of the Table to this subsection than the distance specified opposite to it in
Column 2.

COMPETENT WORKERS
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
• Get someone to help you lift when a mechanical lifting device, such
as a wheelbarrow or dolly, is not available.
MAJOR HAZARDS:
Your sight lines can be reduced when carrying plywood and other sheet
materials, so be very sure that your path is clear.
Be aware of the location and path of travel of vehicles, equipment, and other
workers.
Plywood and other sheet materials can be difficult to handle in the wind. The
added and unexpected extra load imposed by a sudden gust of wind can
throw a worker off-balance and lead to a fall. In windy conditions, get help
when carrying or moving sheet materials.
Workers should enter and exit the excavation using a braced and
secured ladder or, if height requires, a scaffold- type stair system
complete with handrails and landings.
A pedestrian ramp is also good. The ramp slope must not exceed a
gradient of 1:3.
Keep workers separated from vehicles wherever possible. This
decreases the chances of injury.
Workers must be protected from non- construction vehicles that are
near the project. Public ways (roads, sidewalks, etc.) must also be
protected from the construction project. Signalers to direct material,
equipment, and vehicles in and around the site
EINFORCING STEEL:
PHYSICAL HAZARDS:
A common hazard when placing rebar is overexertion, which can mean back
injuries and muscle strains. Practice proper lifting and back care techniques.
Tying rebar can lead to repetitive strain injuries, particularly in the wrist and
forearm. Changing hands while tying reduces the risk of injury. So does using
a rebar tying.
The kind of formwork usually determines the kind of braces you need.
A manufactured panel system may have braces designed and built to
work as part of that system. In this case, you must not substitute
these braces with different braces. Whatever type of formwork system
is being used, follow the information provided on the formwork
drawings regarding the size, location, and means of attachment for
braces.
ACCESS:
Climbing shoring frames is not permitted under the Construction
Regulation because the frames do not meet the definition of a ladder
Therefore, a suitable ladder or temporary stairs must be installed to
provide access to the top of the shoring frames.
As well, a suitable work platform with guardrails must be in place for
workers.
If installing guardrails is not practicable, then personal fall protection
must be provided and used.
GUARDS:
All guards must be in place on power trowels. It’s dangerous to
operate any piece of equipment with the guards removed.
Also dangerous is bypassing built-in safety devices.
OTHER HAZARDS:
Review and understand the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for
any hazardous product used. Follow all of its instructions, including
those regarding
