Instrumentation and Controls for Kailua-Kona, HI

Instrumentation, analyzers, calibration, rentals, and start-up for West Hawai‘i—built for salt-fog, vog, UV, and long runs to remote coastal and upland sites.

West Hawai‘i Performance—Practical, Audit-Ready

From wells and treatment works serving Kona and Kohala to resorts, aquaculture, food processing, and energy sites, your instruments face salt air, temperature swings, and volcanic dust. We help you specify, supply, and commission measurement that stays accurate and easy to maintain—without over-engineering—then hand it off cleanly to PLC/SCADA or secure telemetry.

How We Work With Your Team

We work on your terms: hardware-only (authorized distributor; fast quotes, submittals, factory warranty), services-only (start-up/commissioning, calibration, training), or turnkey (hardware + field work). We collaborate smoothly with design firms and system integrators, and align with municipal standards and documentation to keep procurement and audits straightforward.
