Mivan Shuttering Wall Tie with Cone

About Mivan Shuttering Wall Tie with Cone

What is a Mivan Shuttering Wall Tie with Cone?

A Mivan Shuttering Wall Tie with Cone (referred to on-site as a mivan wall tie patti with cone) is a high-tensile steel tie system that spans the internal width of a concrete wall to lock parallel aluminum formwork panels securely together.

The assembly consists of a flat, sacrificial steel tie plate fitted with specialized Aluminium Formwork PVC Cones (also called mivan formwork plastic bullet cones) at both ends.

Why is it Used?

When wet concrete is poured into vertical aluminum formwork, it exerts immense lateral hydrostatic pressure. Without a reliable tie system, the panels will bulge, deflect, or burst outward, ruining the structural alignment.

The Mivan cone wall tie serves two critical, non-negotiable structural purposes:

1. Tensile Resistance: It absorbs the heavy splitting tensile stresses generated during rapid concrete pouring, keeping the wall thickness perfectly uniform.

2. Slurry-Tight Sealing: The attached plastic cones act as tight gaskets against the inner face of the aluminum panels. This prevents slurry leakage, eliminating concrete honeycombing at the panel joints.

Technical Classification of Mivan Wall Ties

Engineering requirements change depending on structural layouts and wall placements. Surya Engineering manufactures and supplies three primary categories:

1. Full Tie System (Sacrificial Patti)

This is the standard setup for internal shear walls and partitions. The high-tensile steel patti remains permanently embedded inside the cured concrete matrix, while the plastic bullet cones are extracted and reused.

2. Nominal / Short Ties

Custom-engineered, shorter tie variants utilized at structural junctions like beam drops, kickers, or edge profiles where standard wall thicknesses do not apply.

3. Reusable Tie Rod & PVC Sleeve System

For thick shear walls or heavy civil structures, a high-tensile Mivan Tie Rod is passed through a 25mm PVC Tie Rod Pipe. Heavy-duty 18mm or 20mm PVC Cones seal both ends of the sleeve. After the concrete cures, the tie rod is fully extracted and reused, leaving only the plastic sleeve cast inside the wall.

Core Applications in Modern Infrastructure

Because Mivan technology permits casting columns, beams, slabs, and walls simultaneously, these accessories are heavily utilized in:

• High-Rise Residential Towers: Ensuring strict vertical alignment across massive structural heights in dense zones like Mumbai, Thane, and Panvel.

• Mass Affordable Housing Projects: Facilitating rapid turnaround times where component reusability directly impacts project profitability.

• Commercial Complexes & Lift Shafts: Guaranteeing perfect 90-degree right angles and dimensional accuracy to handle seismic and wind loads.
