Serving Brook Park, OH
Brook Park is a City of Cleveland suburb in northwestern Cuyahoga County, wrapped around the south and west sides of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, where Interstate 71, Interstate 480, State Route 237 (the Berea Freeway), and State Route 17 (Brookpark Road) converge. The city is home to NASA’s John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field — one of ten major NASA centers — whose core competencies include air-breathing propulsion, space propulsion and cryogenic fluids management, power and energy storage, communications technology, and materials and structures for extreme environments. Landmark test assets on the Brook Park campus include the Icing Research Tunnel and the Zero Gravity Research Facility, a National Historic Landmark drop tower sunk more than 500 feet below grade. Ford’s Cleveland Engine plant on Brookpark Road is the city’s largest single employer, building EcoBoost V6 engines, and the Aerospace Parkway corridor, Vesuvius USA’s refractories operation, and the machining, RF, and electronics shops spread through Berea, Middleburg Heights, Parma, and North Olmsted round out a dense, measurement-driven industrial base. Tra-Cal provides ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment to organizations working in this environment.
Our laboratory is physically located at 8577 Atlas Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland; we do not operate an office in Brook Park. Because Northeast Ohio sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, we serve Brook Park through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments at your facility using our mobile laboratories, which carry more than 100 instruments per van. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
