• During my internship in <b>Mivan construction technology</b>, I gained hands-on exposure to one of the most advanced and efficient methods of modern building construction. The internship focused on <b>aluminum formwork systems </b>(commonly known as Mivan shuttering), which are widely used for fast-track mass housing projects due to their speed, quality, and durability.
• Understanding Mivan Technology:
• Learned about the modular aluminum formwork system, its components (such as wall panels, beam panels, soffit panels, and support systems), and how it differs from conventional shuttering methods.
• Site Supervision:
• Assisted in the supervision of shuttering, reinforcement, and concreting work, ensuring proper alignment and quality control during slab and wall casting.
• Quality Checks:
• Monitored plumb, level, and alignment of the formwork system using tools like spirit levels, plumb bob, and laser levels to maintain dimensional accuracy.
• Cycle Time Management:
• Observed and reported on daily progress and formwork cycle times, understanding how Mivan technology enables slab casting every 7â€“10 days under efficient conditions.
• Safety and Coordination:
• Coordinated with different teams (formwork, steel, and concrete) to ensure safety practices were followed and work was streamlined.
• Finishing Work Insights:
• Gained knowledge about post-casting processes like de-shuttering, surface finishing, curing, and defect rectification.
