Indiana electrical engineers for hire for your next building retrofit or upgrade

Trusted electrical engineers for education, commercial, and industrial operations

Tim HIll — Tim Hill, Vice President of Electrical Engineering & Equity Partner

R.E. Dimond provides:

Efficient state-of-the-art lighting
Power distribution system design for new buildings
Renovation of existing buildings
Infrastructure retrofits

Our innovative solutions to any project’s challenges come from a solid foundation of education and experience.

Contractors, architects, and institutions across Indiana and the Midwest can trust R.E. Dimond and Associates for:

Medium voltage and low voltage electrical distribution systems
Emergency and standby power systems
Photo Voltaic Solar design
Lighting design — including interior, exterior, sports venues, and theaters
Lighting retrofit, lighting control, and photometric studies for energy savings
Lightning protection/grounding
Power factor correction
Over-Current Protection/Coordination, Short-Circuit, and Arc flash studies
Explosion-proof installations
Building power and control systems
Renewable energy consulting

Facility managers and contractors working with healthcare, education, religious, and other organizations are responsible for more than just the safe wiring of a building. The power the building consumes this year and next directly impacts patient care, student safety, or employee performance.

Trusted electrical engineers for education, commercial, and industrial operations

Electrical upgrades often come in tandem with other mechanical building system work, like new plumbing, air-conditioning and heating, and intercom systems.

Since 1977, R.E. Dimond has consulted on dozens of electrical, mechanical, and building system projects.

Rose Hulman Institute of Technology Mussallem Union

Rose Hulman’s main dining facility serves over 2,200 students and includes a bookstore, wellness services, offices, and more. This world-class engineering institution received new LED lighting, sunshade controls to reduce glare, and more.

Frequently asked questions about electrical engineering, systems, and controls

Our electrical engineering team works closely with clients to go beyond specific requirements, all through our tested design process without the need for oversight.

Plus, you can get answers to the most common questions before, during, and after a building’s renovation or retrofit.

Can we get a facility and energy assessment to estimate savings or costs?

Yes! R.E. Dimond has produced dozens of facility and energy assessments. For most projects in Indiana, solar is the most environmentally sustainable way of creating efficient savings within ten years. However, some project requirements may require the use of other technology.

Can you tell me how many lightbulbs we’d have to replace to notice savings on our energy bill?

It sounds insignificant, but yes! Our electrical engineering teams can identify ways to replace or retrofit existing lighting to save you money. In addition, by analyzing your building’s historical usage we can identify ways new technology — like LED bulbs — can work in tandem with lighting control, motion sensors, and renewable sources.

What are Arc Flash Studies and do we need one?

Any energized electrical system with a buildup of dust or corrosion, insulation issues, or an old insulation system that can no longer withstand the voltage it receives is at risk for an arc flash. Like lightning, an arc flash releases electrical energy and heat that can cause severe burns and death.

Short circuit studies are similar in scope. Short circuit studies measure the amount of abnormal currents flowing throughout a power system at various time intervals after a “fault” occurs.

Arc flash and short circuit studies are done on equipment to determine the risk of injury.

The studies give you actionable recommendations for arc flash protection and improved circuit reliability. R.E. Dimond can also instruct your team and staff about the present dangers and arc flash safety.

What is power factor correction and do I need it?

Power factor calculations help improve the existing power factor in a plant or system. These calculations measure the ratio of real power to apparent power. By maintaining a high power factor, you can avoid costly energy bills. They can also improve voltage profiles and reduce power failures.

One of our electrical engineers can help you identify the potential value of power factor correction studies.

Upgrade your building’s lighting, power, and electrical safety with R.E. Dimond and Associates

Lighting creates a functional environment and enhances a room or structure’s mood, character, safety, and experience.

R.E. Dimond and Associates can help you conserve energy, encourage productivity, and reduce long-term maintenance.

Many new advances in technology, plus renewed interest in sustainability and strengthening energy codes, make lighting designers and engineers critical to any retrofit or building project.

R.E. Dimond and Associates is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI) and Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES).

Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, we help customers across Indiana and the Midwest. Talk to a representative today about your project. Call 317.634.4672, email Tim Hill, or contact us online.
