Serving Staunton, VA
Staunton is an independent city set within the boundaries of Augusta County at the crossroads of Interstate 81 and Interstate 64 in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, with Route 11 running south through the city as Greenville Avenue, Route 250 crossing as Churchville Avenue, and the Woodrow Wilson Parkway carrying Routes 262 and 275 around it. Measurement-dependent operations here include Cadence Inc., whose headquarters on Technology Drive runs full-service medical device contract manufacturing under an ISO 13485 quality system in FDA-registered, 21 CFR Part 820 cGMP facilities; Western State Hospital on Valley Center Drive, the Commonwealth's psychiatric hospital on this site since 1825; Mary Baldwin University on East Frederick Street, whose Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences and School of Natural Science and Mathematics run instrumented teaching laboratories; and Augusta Health's 255-bed campus at Fishersville just east of the city. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Staunton sits roughly 155 road miles from our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory, Augusta County customers typically use one of three intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, scheduled pickup and delivery, 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.
