Serving Silverdale, WA
Silverdale is an unincorporated community of roughly 20,700 people at the north tip of Dyes Inlet in Kitsap County, laid out between State Route 3 and State Route 303 with Silverdale Way, Kitsap Mall, and Old Town along the water. Its 98315 ZIP code covers the Naval Base Kitsap‑Bangor waterfront, where Trident Refit Facility Bangor repairs, incrementally overhauls, and modernizes Pacific Fleet ballistic missile submarines during refit, and where the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division detachment on Sealion Road supports West Coast acoustic trials and machinery health monitoring. Commander, Submarine Group 9 and Trident Training Facility Bangor carry Silverdale addresses on Thresher Avenue, and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health runs St. Michael Medical Center at 1800 NW Myhre Road. Refit trades, engineering support contractors, and clinical teams all work to written measurement requirements, and Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Silverdale sits roughly 2,800 road miles from our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory — well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius — we serve Kitsap County and the wider Puget Sound region 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.

In-Lab Calibration:
Send your equipment to our ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory with prepaid inbound and return shipping to our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory. Calibration is performed in a climate-controlled environment against documented procedures, with traceability through NIST. Standard turnaround is approximately five business days from receipt, and asset records are retained with automated due-date notifications.
Onsite Calibration:
Our metrologists travel to Silverdale-area facilities for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved. Calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site on a scheduled appointment, with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service.
