On 9 July 2021, Mr Helmut Chik, Chief Operating Officer, North East Asia, SGS Group, Mr Simon Yan, General Manager of The Lab Asia Limited, and the honourable guest, Mr. Amund Wong, Senior Manager, Projects, Third Runway jointly officiate at the grand opening ceremony for HKIA Third Runway’s Material laboratory, along with other valuable guests and SGS The Lab Asia team.

HKIA 3RS on-site materials testing laboratory, commissioned to The Lab (Asia) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the SGS Group, was first accredited by HKAS in July 2020 and has since been providing professional construction materials testing services to suppliers and contractors to this enormous infrastructure project. As of Jun 2021, the project has completed the pavement work of 3.7 kilometres and over 100,000 tonnes of asphalt, which have undergone rigorous testing by TLA and conformed with the standards set forth by the Hong Kong Airport Authority. All services of Concrete, Soil, Asphalt, and Metallic Materials testing will be granted by HKAS accreditation in July 2021. And those services are now ready to ensure all materials and workmanship are in conformity with project standards.

TLA was established back in 2010 and has newly become a wholly owned subsidiary of SGS Group this year.  The company now boasts a professional  team of 300+ which includes registered engineers and material engineers. TLA is committed to advocating  eco-friendliness and workplace health and safety,  for instance,  concrete cubes which have been tested, are consigned to construction materials company for remaking of eco-blocks, as part of our recycling initiative.  The company has also invested in its digitalization of  test procedure and paper-less initiative, in a bid to increase efficiency and accuracy.

SGS and TLA will continue to ensure our world-class testing capabilities and compliance with our client expectation for the third runway project,  in support of Hong Kong as a global aviation hub.
