Six ways switchgear comes out of a building
Most of the gear we buy is released by one of six events. Each one has a different clock, a different set of people to coordinate with, and a different way to lose money if the electrical scope is handled last instead of first.
A permanent plant closure is a race against the demolition contractor. A live facility upgrade is a cutover where the old lineup sits on the critical path for the new one. A demolition contractor is selling equipment that would otherwise be priced as metal in their own bid. An electrical contractor is freeing up working capital and warehouse racks. A utility is working through an internal surplus declaration process. A property owner is discovering that the existing service is oversized and wrong for the building's next use.
What does not change
In every one of these situations we do the same things: we take title to the equipment, we bring our own riggers and trucks, we cover freight, and we pay upfront before the load leaves the property. The gear has to be de-energized, isolated and locked out by your electrician or the utility before our crew touches it. We do not perform energized work, utility switching or abatement.
What changes is the sequencing and the paperwork, which is what the pages below are about.
