Company History
Founding and Early Years
D.L. Steiner, Inc. began operations in February 1988, founded by Daniel L. Steiner, PE. Dan started D.L. Steiner after more than 15 years of service as a staff and managing engineer for what was then the Standard Oil Refinery in Lima, Ohio (now the Husky Energy Lima Refinery). While at the refinery, Dan gained experience in electrical system design, electrical equipment maintenance, and electrical system reliability--a diverse background that served as the basis for successfully launching his own electrical engineering and consulting business.
During the early years, D.L. Steiner focused on new and retrofit design projects for electrical systems in industrial and commercial facilities, extending the value of these services with in-depth knowledge of electrical equipment maintenance and reliability. By the late 1990s, we had expanded our offering to include electrical construction, equipment testing, and custom control panel design and build. Among our clients were such names as Ford Motor Company, General Dynamics, Lafarge Corp., and Owens-Illinois.
Electrical Safety Services
At the start of the 21st Century, as arc flash became a recognized and much-studied electrical hazard, D.L. Steiner returned to our origins as consulting engineers, refocusing on electrical system design and analysis with an emphasis on system safety management. Our turnkey arc flash hazard safety program and NFPA 70E-based electrical safety training course have helped
dozens of organizations implement an effective electrical safety program while complying with the OSHA mandate to provide an electrically safe workplace for their employees. Companies such as The Cooper Tire and Rubber Company, Honda Corporation, US Steel, and Whirlpool Corporation are among our arc flash analysis and electrical safety training clients.
Energy Management Services
Energy efficiency has become as high a priority as workplace safety in recent years. In response, D.L. Steiner has pursued training and accreditation in the field of energy management--not only for electrical systems, but for all energy systems used in modern industrial, commercial, and public facilities: natural
gas, steam, water, etc. Our comprehensive energy audits, demand control solutions, and electrical design expertise have helped companies such as Dow Corning, Ford Motor Company, and Hanson Aggregates use energy more efficiently without negatively impacting production output for big savings on energy costs.
Other Professional Services
Along with electrical safety and energy management, D.L. Steiner offers other professional services that enable our clients to implement safe, reliable, and efficient energy systems--and maintain them at this level:
