About Mr. Jayant Lakhlani

Mr. Jayant Lakhlani, founder of the firm ‘Lakhlani Associates’, had penchant for structural engineering since his college days at undergraduate level. After completing his post-graduation in ‘Computer Aided Structural Analysis and Design’ from Gujarat University, India, he got experience with one of the best structural designing firms in the industry.

Since establishment of his own structural designing firm in 1991, he has designed, supervised and commissioned various types of structures composed of reinforced concrete and structural steel, composite structures, liquid retaining structures, machine foundations, bridges and high volume fly ash concrete pavements. He is also having vast experience for restoration and rehabilitation of structures and as a peer consultant for proof checking of structural design.

Following is brief account of his creditable involvement and active participation.
