Serving Harrison Township, MI
Harrison Township is a charter township on the Lake St. Clair shoreline in southeastern Macomb County, Michigan, northeast of Detroit, and is unincorporated rather than a separate city. Its technical base combines military and Coast Guard aviation with an industrial corridor of metal finishing, machining, and steel fabrication shops along Production Drive, Irwin Drive, and Executive Drive. Selfridge Air National Guard Base is located in the township and operates an air traffic control tower with radar approach control, instrument landing systems on Runway 01/19, and a TACAN navigation aid. Coast Guard Air Station Detroit is based at 1461 N. Perimeter Rd. on that installation and flies search and rescue, law enforcement, domestic icebreaking, and marine environmental protection missions across the Great Lakes. Par-Kut International at 40961 Production Drive fabricates prefabricated steel booths and visitor screening structures under federal contracts, Selfridge Plating at 42081 Irwin Drive runs a metal finishing operation that holds EPA air, wastewater and hazardous waste registrations, and Metal-Cote at 41525 Production Drive operates in the same Production Drive corridor. Work of this kind rests on dimensional measurement, torque, pressure, temperature, electrical test, and force values that stay within tolerance between checks and carry documented traceability. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Harrison Township sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Macomb County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. 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.
