Serving Hilliard, OH
Hilliard sits in western Franklin County along the I-270 Outerbelt, where the beltway meets I-70 just south of the city, with US 33 running northwest through Dublin toward Marysville. The city is the headquarters of Advanced Drainage Systems, the largest manufacturer of high-density polyethylene pipe in the United States, and it sits inside one of the Midwest’s deepest industrial and research corridors — DLA Weapons Support in Columbus, which supplies parts and maintenance for military ground vehicles and ships; Battelle Memorial Institute, the applied science and technology institute that manages laboratories for the U.S. Department of Energy; the 121st Air Refueling Wing and its KC-135 fleet at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in southern Franklin County; The Ohio State University research complex and its Don Scott airfield just northeast of town; and the automotive and semiconductor manufacturing base spreading across Marysville and New Albany. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Hilliard sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Franklin County and the greater Columbus metro 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.
