Industrial Electrical Equipment buyers serving Chalmette
Chalmette sits in Louisiana, where Entergy Louisiana, Cleco, SWEPCO feed the load and I-10, I-12, I-20 and I-49 carry the freight. Sites near those corridors cost us less to service, and that shows up in your offer rather than in our margin. New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport and Lafayette are routine stops and Chalmette work routes with them.
If the Chalmette equipment is still carrying load we phase it — dead sections and spares first, distribution as circuits are released, the main line-up on the final clearance. The phasing is written into the offer so nobody improvises in an energized room at two in the morning.

What we take out of Chalmette sites
Distribution and control equipment
Low- and medium-voltage switchgear and switchboards, motor control centers, panelboards, bus duct with its plugs, transfer switches, capacitor banks and the breakers that live inside all of it. This is the bulk of what moves through our yard, and it is where obsolete models are frequently worth more than current production because nobody else can supply them.
Power conversion and generation
Liquid-filled and dry-type transformers from 75 kVA to 50 MVA, unit substations, rectifier and furnace transformers, and diesel and gas gensets from 100 kW to 3 MW with or without their paralleling gear and transfer switches. Running or not — we price a seized engine on its alternator and core just as seriously as a low-hour set.
Louisiana specifics
Gulf Coast petrochemical turnarounds are the dominant source of medium-voltage switchgear, MV MCCs and large rectifier transformers in the state, and hot-work permitting is standard on our crews' scope.

Chalmette questions
Do you actually buy electrical equipment in Chalmette, or just broker it?
We buy it. Industrial Electrical Buyer is the purchaser of record — we fund the purchase, send our own crews to Chalmette to disconnect and load, and take title when the equipment leaves your dock. There is no third party behind us waiting to approve the price.
What is the smallest job you will take in Chalmette?
A single transformer, one switchgear section, a pallet of bus plugs or a few boxes of breakers is worth a call. Because we route crews across Louisiana continuously, small Chalmette pickups usually get added to an existing run rather than priced as a dedicated trip.
How fast can you get to a Chalmette site?
Written offers go out the same business day in nearly every case. After acceptance, typical mobilization to Chalmette is a few business days for a straightforward removal and one to two weeks for a full plant scope that needs phasing, rigging plans or utility coordination.
Do we have to disconnect the equipment before you arrive?
No. We handle removal. Your electrician or the utility performs the final isolation and we verify it; from there our crews lock out, cut and cap cable at the gland, unbolt the sections, skate them out and load them. If the Chalmette room is still partly live we phase the work.
How do you handle transformer oil in Chalmette?
Oil is tested, drained and manifested through licensed handlers, and you receive the documentation with your paperwork. PCB-suspect units go under a separate waste profile. Nothing is left on your pad in Chalmette and nothing gets dumped — the handling cost is already in the offer.
