Supporting the Free State Construction Industry

ON-SITE AND LABORATORY TESTING

The Free State: Wind, Solar and More

As South Africa’s geographical center, the Free State is a crucial transport and infrastructure hub with growing renewable and municipal infrastructure. Our Bloemfontein laboratory is playing a critical role in the province by ensuring world-leading quality assurance standards through geotechnical and materials testing.

With increasing demand for materials testing in the Free State we have expanded our footprint through a new branch in Welkom. This has already reduced turnaround times, lowered costs and enabled faster testing results.

Our long-standing facility in Bloemfontein will support our expanded operation in Welkom.

 

From Bloemfontein’s urban areas to the growing renewable energy hubs of Welkom, Virginia and Kimberley, we continue to provide industry-leading testing services that ensure quality, reliability, and compliance.


Renewable Energy Expansion: Powering the Free State

With South Africa’s growing investment in renewable energy, Roadlab Bloemfontein is ensuring quality and durability in the construction of major wind and solar farms across the province.

Koruson Renewable Energy Wind Farm (Middleburg)
Roadlab is providing ongoing control testing including plate load testing to determine the bearing capacity of turbine foundations and CBR testing for access road stability and foundation reinforcement.

Grasspan Solar Farm (Kimberley)
Our geotechnical and materials testing scope includes density testing for foundation compaction and soil stability and concrete cube strength testing 
to ensure structural integrity of solar panel bases.

Springbok Solar Farm (Welkom) - Completed
We have successfully completed geotechnical and concrete strength testing investigations on this project, ensuring compliance with engineering and regulatory standards.

Virginia Solar Farm (Welkom) – New Appointment
We were recently awarded control testing services for this newly built solar farm from March 2025.


 


Supporting Municipal & Infrastructure Development

Our geotechnical, soil, concrete and road testing services are employed across the Free State, playing a vital role in major municipal infrastructure projects. 

These are some of the projects we are currently working on in the Free State.

Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality - Bloemfontein
Roadlab Bloemfontein was awarded 66 km of geotechnical testing for the Integrated Public Transport Network (IPTN). We are currently providing geotechnical investigation services for Phase 1B & 1C of the network, ensuring the long-term durability of new road infrastructure. 

Matjhabeng Local Municipality - Welkom
We have conducted geotechnical investigations for the repair and unblocking of sewer networks, addressing aging and collapsed infrastructure in key areas such as Allanridge, Bronville, Flamingo Park, Meloding, and Ventersburg.

Upgrading of Saulsport Water Treatment Works
Roadlab is maintaining quality control testing for one of the largest water treatment plant upgrades in Bethlehem, a project spanning 22 months.


 

Commitment to Quality: A SANAS-Accredited Facility

At Roadlab, quality is what we do. 

This commitment to excellence extends beyond compliance—it drives innovation in how we support infrastructure development across the Free State. 

By continuously refining our geotechnical, concrete, and materials testing processes, we help ensure that roads, bridges, water systems, and renewable energy projects are built to last.

Our work in this regard and our continued commitment to SANAS accreditation standards ensures that our testing methods, processes, and results remain reliable, trusted, and in accordance with national and international requirements.
