Controlab South Africa (Pty) Ltd.

About

The company has its origins as a civil engineering firm that operated in East London in the mid 1960's. This included a testing laboratory and it was decided, for various reasons, that this element should be discarded and set up as an entity operating independently. Thus, the seeds were sewn for what was to eventually become (in April 1990) Controlab and the name has not been changed since.

Controlab's Head Office is situated in Vincent (East London) with the main laboratory situated in North End (East London) and branch laboratories in Mthatha, Kokstad, Queenstown, Johannesburg and Cape Town (under the name of Geoscience Laboratories (Pty) Ltd). We have also opened a sister laboratory in Lusaka, Zambia.

Controlab is a Level 2 B-BBEE contributor with 51% black shareholding.

Controlab is a specialist testing company, catering for the civil, geotechnical and structural engineering fraternity. It offers a full range of testing services of soils, aggregates, bitumen, asphalt, concrete and geotechnical investigations for, amongst others, new roads, borrowpits, road rehabilitation, gravel roads, township developments, buildings and structures. We have had field laboratories on various projects nationally for both the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) and various other government departments.

Our Company has also previously monitored the Eastern Cape Gov Provincial Laboratories in the absence of other qualified personnel.

In February 2008, we achieved our SANAS accreditation (EL)(ISO/IEC 17025) for the laboratory (reference number T0308). Controlab is audited annually to ensure that our testing procedures meet the required quality standards.
