In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Kapolei, HI
With over 35 years of experience, our technicians have provided precise calibration, instrument repair, and metrology database management to a diverse range of industries across the Kapolei area.
Located in Gaithersburg, MD, our calibration laboratory—accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANSI Z540-1, and Z540.3 standards—adheres to strict quality protocols. We perform all calibrations and repairs in line with manufacturer specifications to ensure your measurement tools remain reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready. Each calibration is accompanied by a certificate that confirms compliance with the rigorous standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Serving Kapolei, HI
Kapolei sits on the Ewa plain of leeward Oahu in the City and County of Honolulu, where Interstate H-1 reaches its western terminus and Farrington Highway runs west toward Kalaeloa. U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point operates from Kalaeloa Airport, and Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility lies east along H-1. Campbell Industrial Park holds the Par Hawaii refinery and corporate offices, the H-POWER waste-to-energy plant, and Hawaiian Electric's Kahe Generating Station, while the University of Hawaii-West Oahu campus sits on Farrington Highway. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Kapolei sits across the Pacific and far outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, we serve Oahu from our Gaithersburg, MD laboratory through prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day in-lab turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility, planned as scheduled travel engagements rather than same-day calls. Each calibration is traced through NIST and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.
