Our story

VH Develop operates the Johannesburg hub, in Midrand, on behalf of Element Materials Technology — a strategic logistics and client-services centre that complements and enhances our industry-leading environmental business.

Based in Midrand, the office is operated by VH Develop (Pty) Ltd on behalf of Element Materials Technology, serving as a strategic logistics hub and client-services centre. We support comprehensive analysis of a wide range of environmental samples — soils, waters, effluents, leachates, wastes, sediments, gases, vapours and ambient air. Our collective expertise ensures accurate, reliable results that meet the stringent requirements of many industries.

World-class environmental analysis, closer to home. From our Johannesburg hub in Midrand, we connect you to Element Deeside's laboratory — running a strategic logistics and client-services centre that complements and enhances our environmental standards.

How our hub works

  • As a distribution centre, we dispatch sampling containers, cool boxes and ice packs, and receive your completed samples. Samples are then couriered to our ISO 17025 accredited laboratory in Deeside, UK, which specialises in comprehensive chemical analysis. You are welcome to collect containers and drop off samples at our Midrand hub — convenient, swift service when you need it most, especially for urgent work.
  • Order online with FieldReady
    Order your sample containers and request quotes through FieldReady, our client portal — feeding straight into our daily dispatch.

Accreditation & standards
