Based in Sacramento, California since 1972, Tesco Controls, Inc. is a controls system integrator and manufacturer for the water/wastewater and traffic industries. TESCO has emerged as a leader, whose success can be attributed to the creation of effective, durable products that reflect quality, reliability and functionality in each of its customers’ projects.
TESCO also offers a complete range of professional services that include: engineering design, technical studies, customized computer programming, field installation, field calibration, technical support, and maintenance packages.
TESCO began its business by introducing the “Slimline” Pedestal—a simple, innovative means of distributing underground electrical power to a wide variety of municipal applications. The TESCO Pedestal product line provides a cost-effective solution for efficient street lighting, park lighting, irrigation, and battery backup systems (BBS) for traffic signal installations. Over the years, TESCO progressed to include the design and manufacture of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), process instrumentation, integrated pump control panels, motor control, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA systems) that allow municipal water/wastewater and irrigation districts to monitor and control treatment plants, water distribution systems, and wastewater collection systems.
Our SCADA system installations, now over 300 systems nationwide, are in operation throughout California, as well as in Washington, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. These systems consist of multiple Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) that communicate between central sites and various remote sites over telephone lines, fiber optics, radio links, or dedicated cable television. These redundant, open architecture SCADA software and hardware systems consist of multi-user, multi-tasking, real time graphical-use-interfaces with report capability, designed specifically around the demanding needs of the water/wastewater industry.
To date, our installed base of products and control systems is in excess of $300 million. TESCO has grown to occupy 93,000 square feet of office and manufacturing space. Employed at the TESCO campus are over 200 employees who work in a full complement of fields, including: research and development, engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing, accounting, administrative, and field support services. |
