Instrumentation and Controls for Bakersfield, CA

Instrumentation, analyzers, calibration, rentals, and start-up for Bakersfield and Kern County—built for heat, dust, H₂S, and long runs across oilfields, water/wastewater, food processing, and power.

Built for Kern County Operations

From treatment plants on the Kern River to oilfield separators and food plants along the 99, your sites need instruments that hold calibration in hot yards, dusty cabinets, and corrosive basins. We help you choose, install, and maintain measurement that stands up to local conditions—and we document it so compliance is straightforward.

Why Kern County Operators Choose Us

You need gear that survives hot yards, dusty cabinets, and H₂S-exposed basins—and a team that can commission it quickly. As an authorized manufacturer’s representative and distributor, we pair the right instruments (flow, level, pressure, temperature, analytical, signal conditioning, telemetry) with hands-on field services—site review, programming, start-up, and calibration certificates—so your data is defensible and downtime stays low. When timelines are tight, we stage common parts and provide short-term rentals to keep projects moving.
