Serving Miamisburg, OH
Miamisburg sits on the Great Miami River in southern Montgomery County, roughly ten miles south of Dayton, where Interstate 75 meets State Route 725 and State Route 741 (Springboro Pike). The city’s measurement heritage runs unusually deep. The Mound Laboratory, built here in 1948 on a 306-acre site and operated for the Atomic Energy Commission and later the Department of Energy, grew directly out of the wartime Dayton Project and spent four decades producing detonators, cable assemblies, timers, firing sets, and the plutonium-238 thermoelectric heat sources that powered U.S. deep-space missions. That site is now the Mound Business Park and Mound Advanced Technology Center. Around it sits a genuinely instrument-dependent employer base: Yaskawa America’s Motoman industrial-robotics operation, an Avery Dennison materials plant, the headquarters of Verso and Dayton Superior, the Isotec stable-isotope plant, and Kettering Health Miamisburg, the former Sycamore Medical Center. 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 Miamisburg. Because southwest Ohio sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, we serve the Miamisburg area 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.
