Design
At JKP Static Ltd, we leverage ATENA Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to deliver precise and reliable designs. ATENA allows us to simulate the behavior of complex structures, especially those involving fibre-reinforced concrete (FRC), helping us predict how materials will perform under various conditions. This advanced tool, paired with our own in-house material models, ensures that our designs meet the highest standards of accuracy and performance.

What defines a good design? Does it simply mean adhering to standards, being economical, or ensuring swift construction? The answer, of course, is more nuanced.
For us, a good design means meeting the needs of both our clients and society—and in today's world, that often means considering the broader impacts on the environment. While standards and guidelines typically provide the foundation for design, they don't always offer a one-size-fits-all solution. In some cases, we must go beyond the guidelines, exploring innovative approaches to meet unique project requirements. Balancing all these factors—performance, sustainability, cost-effectiveness—may seem challenging, but it’s the core responsibility of an engineer.
In recent decades, the construction industry has seen a rapid rise in new materials and methods. These newer techniques, while promising, often lack a proven track record. To assess their properties and predict their behavior, in-depth engineering expertise and advanced technical tools are essential. Not every engineer has access to these resources, but at JKP, we always conduct material and construction tests to support our designs, ensuring reliability and accuracy.
Research and material testing are integral to every design we produce. By incorporating data from advanced testing and utilizing finite element analysis simulations, we don’t just meet industry standards—we strive for optimization, sustainability, and a reduced environmental footprint in every project.
