Serving Lawton, OK
Lawton is the largest city in Comanche County by land area and by municipal water system population served, covering roughly 82 square miles in southwestern Oklahoma, and the county government offices sit inside the city at 315 SW 5th Street. Its technical base is built around aviation, hospital-based clinical work, higher education, municipal water treatment, and a small cluster of EPA-regulated industrial sites, all of which depend on documented measurement. Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport at 3401 SW 11th Street is a public-use field with an FAA-owned air traffic control tower now scheduled for replacement. Three CMS-certified hospitals operate inside the city limits: Memorial Health System of Southwest Oklahoma at 3401 West Gore Boulevard, Southwestern Medical Center at 5602 SW Lee Boulevard, and Lawton Indian Hospital at 1515 NE Lawrie Tatum Road. Cameron University at 2800 West Gore Boulevard operates a Department of Chemistry, Physics and Engineering, which places teaching and research instrumentation on campus. The City of Lawton runs a surface water community water system under EPA identifier OK1011303, recorded as serving 92,757 people, and U.S. Army Garrison Fort Sill lies immediately adjacent to the city, mostly outside the municipal boundary. The measurement disciplines involved across these operations include pressure and vacuum, temperature and humidity, electrical and RF parameters, dimensional metrology, mass and balance, torque, and flow. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Lawton sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Comanche 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.
