Instrumentation and Controls for Oakland, CA

Instrumentation, analyzers, calibration, rentals, and start-up for Oakland, Berkeley, and Alameda.

Reliable Measurement for the Port & East Bay Corridor

From tide-influenced outfalls and urban drainage to food plants, cold storage, cleanrooms, and labs, East Bay sites need instrumentation that holds calibration through fog/condensation, EMI from VFDs, and frequent CIP. We specify, supply, and commission systems that keep operations safe, efficient, and audit-ready—without over-engineering.

We supply and support a full range of sensors, transmitters, analyzers, and monitoring equipment for flow, level, pressure, temperature, vibration, and analytical measurement applications.

Products + Services for the Greater Oakland Area

Flow (open channel & pipe)

Ultrasonic/AV and LaserFlow for collections, CSO/MS4, and outfalls; mag and clamp-on ultrasonic for DI/process/CIP, chilled & hot water, and transfer lines. Delivered with site review, programming, start-up, and verification/cal certificates; rentals available.

Level (tanks, basins, lift stations, silos)

80 GHz non-contact radar, guided-wave radar, ultrasonic, and point level with proper mounts, coastal-grade enclosures, loop checks, and alarms.

Pressure & Temperature (industrial & sanitary)

Transmitters, switches, and RTD/TC assemblies with thermowells, diaphragm seals, Tri-Clamp where needed—plus PLC/SCADA handoff and documentation.

Analytical

pH/ORP, conductivity, DO, turbidity/TSS, chlorine, TOC, oil-in-water, and moisture analyzers—paired with sample-conditioning guidance, commissioning, and operator training.

Signal Conditioning & Telemetry

Isolators, alarms/trip amps, intrinsic-safety interfaces, and cellular gateways/dashboards to reduce truck rolls and speed troubleshooting.

Prefer turnkey? We ship instruments pre-mounted in NEMA/IP coastal-/washdown-ready panels with power, I/O, and cellular connectivity—ready to bolt up and run.

Built for Local Conditions

Bay microclimates bring fog, salt-air, and condensation; inland areas add heat, dust, and UV; dense industrial parks mean long cable runs and electrical noise. We plan for corrosion-resistant materials, correct ingress ratings, condensation management and sun-shielding, signal isolation near VFDs, surge protection, and robust telemetry/alarm practices so remote tanks, wells, lift stations, and utility skids stay online with defensible data.

Where We Work

We support Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, Piedmont, San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, Newark, and Albany, with project coverage across Alameda County (and neighboring Contra Costa and Santa Clara counties as needed).

How We Work with Your Team

Need hardware-only? We act as your authorized distributor/supplier with fast quotes, submittals, and factory warranty. Want services-only? We handle start-up, calibration (with certificates), and training. Or choose turnkey (hardware + field work). We partner smoothly with design firms and system integrators, and align with municipal standards and documentation.
