How Montana jobs actually run
Utility territory matters here more than most owners expect: NorthWestern Energy, Montana-Dakota Utilities, Flathead Electric each have their own disconnect and metering process, and the sequence of who de-energizes what is usually the longest lead item on the schedule.
Freight is the other half. We route Montana work along I-90, I-15 and US-2, which is what keeps trailer and crew cost predictable on a quote instead of padded.
Long hauls between sites make freight a real line item on Montana quotes, so we combine mining, refinery and utility pickups across the state where scheduling allows.
Primary hubs
Billings, Missoula and Great Falls — but coverage is statewide, including rural substation and mine sites.

What we buy in Montana
Electrical Switchgear
We buy low- and medium-voltage switchgear line-ups out of live plants, substations and buildings scheduled for demolition — metal-clad, metal-enclosed, drawout and fixed-mount.
480 V – 38 kV, up to 5,000 AGenerators
Diesel and natural-gas gensets from 100 kW through 3 MW — enclosed, open-skid, trailer-mounted and sub-base tank units, with or without their transfer switches.
100 kW – 3 MW diesel and gasTransformers
Pad-mount, dry-type, cast-coil, unit substation and liquid-filled power transformers from 75 kVA through 50 MVA, including units still energized on the pad.
75 kVA – 50 MVABus Plugs
Fusible and circuit-breaker bus plugs by the unit or by the pallet — 30 A through 1,200 A, all major busway systems, any vintage.
30 A – 1,200 A fusible and breakerBus Duct & Busway
Plug-in and feeder busway runs, elbows, tees, end boxes and cable-tap sections — copper or aluminum, 225 A through 5,000 A, removed by our own crews.
225 A – 5,000 A runsPanelboards & Switchboards
Panelboards, switchboards, distribution panels, safety switches and disconnects — loaded with breakers or empty, one panel or a whole building's worth.
100 A – 4,000 AWire & Cable
Surplus and reclaimed copper and aluminum wire and cable — full spools, partial spools, off-spool coils and cable pulled out of cancelled jobs.
#12 AWG – 1,000 MCMLoad Banks
Resistive and resistive/reactive load banks — portable, trailer-mounted, roof-top and permanently installed, 100 kW through 3 MW.
100 kW – 3 MW resistiveCircuit Breakers
Molded-case, insulated-case, low-voltage power and medium-voltage vacuum and air-magnetic breakers — single units, pallets and full sets pulled from a line-up.
15 A – 6,000 A framesMotor Control Centers
Complete MCC line-ups, individual vertical sections, starter buckets and VFD sections — low voltage and medium voltage, any generation.
MCC line-ups, buckets, VFD sectionsSubstations
Complete unit substations and outdoor station equipment — primary switch, transformer, secondary switchgear, structures, bus and relaying, bought as one lot.
Complete unit and station substationsTransfer Switches
Automatic and manual transfer switches, bypass-isolation switches and paralleling gear, 100 A through 4,000 A, pulled with or without their generators.
100 A – 4,000 A ATSCapacitors & Power Quality
Fixed and automatically switched capacitor banks, harmonic filters, reactors and power-factor correction equipment, indoor and outdoor.
50 kVAR – 10 MVARComplete Plant Lots
When a plant closes, we buy the entire electrical scope as one lot — substation to receptacle — and we do the teardown and loading at our cost.

Montana questions
When do we get paid?
Before the equipment leaves your Montana dock. Wire, company check or cashier's check, whichever your accounting group prefers. On large phased projects we pay per load as it ships rather than holding everything until the end.
What if the equipment is old or has no test records?
We still quote it. Records raise the number — a NETA test report on a breaker or a transformer is the single document that most improves what we can pay — but their absence disqualifies nothing. We price Montana equipment on what our technicians and the replacement market say it is worth.
Are you insured to work inside our Montana facility?
Yes. We carry general liability, auto, workers' compensation and umbrella coverage, and we issue a certificate naming your entity as additional insured before crews mobilize to Montana. We also complete vendor onboarding, background checks and site-specific safety orientation on request.
Can you work nights, weekends or during a shutdown in Montana?
Regularly. Most electrical removals happen outside production hours because that is when circuits can be released. Night, weekend, holiday and turnaround windows in Montana are normal scheduling for us, not a premium service.
What happens to the equipment after you buy it?
Serviceable gear is tested, reconditioned where needed and resold as replacement equipment — that resale is what funds your offer. What cannot go back into service is dismantled for copper, aluminum and steel recovery through permitted processors, with regulated fractions documented.
