Laboratory
In 2020, JKP Static Ltd. established its own Concrete Laboratory to better meet the growing and complex needs of our clients. The laboratory allows us to stay at the forefront of material research and testing, providing the flexibility to test new materials and continually improve sustainability practices in the construction industry. Having an in-house lab is crucial for us to conduct real-time material validation, ensuring that the designs we produce are based on accurate, up-to-date data.
Our laboratory is accredited according to EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 standards, which guarantees the highest level of precision, reliability, and quality control in all tests. This accreditation is essential, as it ensures that our methods are consistent with international standards and provides credible, reproducible results for both internal use and external clients.

Why Our Own Laboratory is Essential
The presence of our own laboratory gives us the ability to conduct critical real-time testing of materials and structures. This is particularly important as we develop and test new concrete materials that are not yet covered by industry standards. With our lab, we can:
- Improve sustainability by validating the use of recycled and eco-friendly materials.
- Accelerate innovation by testing new designs and construction methods.
- Ensure quality control by constantly validating the performance of materials under different conditions.
By having our own facility, we have full control over the testing process, allowing for tailored tests that meet the specific requirements of our projects. This level of control ensures that our designs are not only compliant but also optimized for sustainability and efficiency.
R&D Activity
Our laboratory is deeply involved in Research and Development, focusing on cutting-edge materials such as:
- Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC)
- Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP)
We are equipped with high-quality testing machinery that allows us to perform an extensive range of tests. Our equipment, such as compression testing machines, universal testing machines, and specialized panel testing machines, ensures we can carry out precise, detailed analyses of any material or structure.
With our state-of-the-art machines, we are capable of testing:
- Load-bearing capacities of various structure elements.
- Flexural and compressive strengths of different kind of concretes.
- Durability and long-term performance under different environmental conditions.
These tools enable us to perform practically any kind of material test, providing our clients with customized testing solutions based on project-specific needs.
Industrial Testing and Research
Our lab is not only focused on research but also provides a wide range of industrial testing services. We work with leading companies across various sectors to test concrete materials for real-world applications. From large-scale industrial structures to advanced material applications, our lab ensures that each project meets the required standards for durability, safety, and performance.
Our industrial testing services include:
- Testing for construction projects to ensure compliance with both local and international standards.
- Evaluation of new materials for market introduction.
- Support for product development in collaboration with manufacturers.
