Reclamation’s Technical Service Center (TSC) provides innovative solutions to water and power resource issues.  The TSC consists of approximately 565 scientists, engineers, and other professional and office staff, and operates a world-class materials and hydraulic engineering laboratory.

TSC's mission is to be Reclamation’s preferred provider of science and engineering services, and to be the preferred employer of engineers and scientists in the U.S. TSC values are founded on personal and professional integrity.

Although focused on Reclamation’s mission, TSC also provides technical assistance to other Federal agencies through interagency agreements, as well as working with state and private entities through cooperative and technology transfer agreements.  Technical assistance and training are also available through agreements with other countries interested in developing their own water resources.
