Ultra robust and lightweight formwork suitable for monolithic constructions
Mivan, short for Aluminium Formwork System, is a modern construction technology that uses aluminium formwork to cast and reinforce concrete buildings.
Unlike the traditional formwork system which relies on timber, steel or plastic, Mivan uses high-grade aluminium alloy to produce lightweight, robust, and reusable formwork panels. These panels are prefabricated and can be easily assembled and dismantled, significantly reducing construction times and labour costs.
Originally pioneered by Mivan Ltd, a well-known British construction company, MFE has since become the first company in the world to successfully commercialise aluminium formwork on an industrial scale.
01
Easily adaptable for all types of concrete buildings, from office towers, hotels and up-market high-rise condominiums, to single and double-storey homes and affordable housing projects.
02
All building components can be casted in a single operation, including: walls, floor slabs, columns and beams, lift core, balconies, stairs, and door and window openings.
03
Resulting structure is extremely strong with a smooth concrete surface finish, which only requires a minimum skim coat.
04
Unskilled labour can be trained by MFE’s support team, with no specialist tools or equipment required.
05
High-rise buildings constructed at a rate of 4 days per floor and landed properties constructed at a rate of 1 house per day with only a single set of forms.
Between 300 - 1,000 times to maximise ROI
Average weight of 25kg/m², eliminating the need for heavy lifting or cranes
100% recyclable at the end of their lifecycle
Has no consumables, resulting in a clean and safe site operation
Can be assembled by non-skilled labour with simple training and without special tools
Easily achieve construction cycle times of 1 floor every 4-5 days, or 1 landed house per day
No heavy plastering or excessive finishing needed
Highly experienced design team able to provide solutions for multiple applications
High load bearing capacity of up to 100 KN per m² when assembled
Sustainable alternative to wooden formwork
