Construction Applications
The JK STRUCTURE System is a unique and truly revolutionary system
- High quality
- Time-labour and logistics-effective
- Hurricane and earthquake-resistant
- EPS-alleviated steel reinforced concrete incorporating thermal and sound insulation
JK STRUCTURE Houses
Lightweight concrete, a mix of concrete and expanded polystyrene beads, is injected into a Steel Structure made of JK STRUCTURE Panels reinforced with JK BEAMS (galvanized steel wire studs / steel rods).
A 120m² house requires some 360m² of JK Structure Panels (approx. 1200kg) and some 720 metres of JK Beams (approx. 510kg).
The rest of the supplies consist of only wire mesh, cement, EPS beads and/or lime.
The JK STRUCTURE Construction process is an entirely on-site construction process.
- Suitable for low Skilled Labour
- Little or no heavy construction equipment is required on site
- Insulation is part of the process
- Prior to the concrete being injected, all networks (electricity, water, gas, telephone, sewage, etc.) are positioned
Reduced construction times and the lesser consumption of sub-base aggregates allows for cost effectiveness.
Environment
Economics
Architecture
JK STRUCTURE Panels:
- Adapt to most styles and types of architectures
- Are particularly easy to use to create curved walls and/or original forms and shapes
- Are particularly appreciated when the walls, and especially the external walls of the building are rounded or curved
Insulation and Resistances
The JK STRUCTURE System allows the following to be achieved:
High Thermal Insulation
High Phonic Insulation
Resistance to Fire
- The alleviated concrete is rated MO, the highest possible grade of non-flammability
- Standard JK STRUCTURE walls and floors have a fire-resistance of over one hour (Walls 110 minutes, Floors 90 minutes)
Water Resistance
- Resistance to steam is 136g / m² per 24 hours. The walls breathe well, a precondition for a good and economical natural air-conditioning.
Seismic Resistance
- The JK STRUCTURE complies with the anti-seismic norms (DTU PS-MI89), which allows for earthquake, hurricane and tornado resistance.
