en.Wedoany.com Reported - The research and development arm of the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia, the Construction Research Institute of Malaysia, recently established the Malaysia Construction Site Laboratory Sabah Branch at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park in Sabah, Malaysia. Completed in 2022, this laboratory, together with the Sarawak branch, forms the technical core supporting infrastructure development in Borneo.
Since establishing its first laboratory in 2009, the Malaysia Construction Site Laboratory has continuously driven industry research and development. The Sabah branch, serving as a regional reference laboratory, provides testing services for building materials and structures, ensuring all engineering projects comply with the legal requirements of the Fourth Schedule of Act 520, and offers technical support to regulatory and certification bodies.
The laboratory is equipped with various scientific research facilities, including a strong floor for large-scale structural experiments, kilonewton-class actuators for simulating dynamic loads, as well as spectrometers and salt spray test chambers for precise analysis of material composition. These facilities cover testing ranging from ready-mixed concrete to the strength and corrosion resistance of complex structural components.
The laboratory has received the MS ISO/IEC 17025:2017 international certification issued by the Department of Standards Malaysia and has gained global recognition through the ILAC-MRA agreement. Local construction industry players in Sabah no longer need to send samples all the way to Peninsular Malaysia for testing.
The Construction Research Institute of Malaysia stated that the establishment of the Malaysia Construction Site Laboratory Sabah Branch further consolidates the East Malaysian construction market and enhances engineering quality indicators.
