Industrial ยท Plants, hospitals, yards
We buy industrial cable in San Antonio.
A plant shutdown, a hospital refit and a data-centre fit-out leave three different piles in the same electrical room: feeder, control, and the cable nobody wanted to cut.

Reviewed by a buyerTell us what you have and where it sits. Nothing is moved until written lot terms are agreed.
01
What a plant leaves behind
A shutdown is the productive window. Feeders are replaced while the line is down, padmounts are changed out, drives are upgraded and the old tray runs are pulled because the new cable will not share a tray with them; the result is medium voltage feeder on its drum, tray and control cable in bundles, and a good deal of cut length. Length is not the problem; a thousand feet cut into eight-foot pieces is.
02
Buildings that cannot go dark
Hospitals, data centres and any facility with a critical load produce the most valuable and the most restricted cable. Generator feeder and transfer cable are replaced on a plan, usually at night, and the old runs come out intact because nobody has time to cut them up. Fire-rated cable from life-safety work is bought with its jacket markings intact and its rating legible, so ask the contractor to keep the printing readable through removal.
03
Taking a building apart
Demolition is the other end of the same business. Service entrance, riser feeder and tray come out before the structure does, and the grounding grid comes out of the slab last, often with the exothermic connections still welded to it. Heavy demolition also releases bus bar and switchgear, quoted beside the cable rather than inside it.
Questions
Answers before you send anything.
If your question is not here, call the desk. A buyer answers, not a call centre.
Must the cable be de-energised before you inspect it?
Before it is handled, yes. Look at photographs and tags at any stage, but nothing is cut, coiled or loaded until your crew signs it off as de-energised and discharged. At medium voltage that sign-off is the first item on the list, and it is the first thing a buyer asks for.
We are replacing one section of a switchgear lineup.
That is a normal lot. The cable from a single section is often short and heavy, and it is bought on size, insulation type and the condition of the terminations. Send the one-line if you have it and the footage you think came out.
The grounding conductor still has connections welded on.
Send it as it is. Exothermic connections are cut off before weighing, and the copper is priced on cleanliness. Painted, tarred or concrete-coated conductor needs to be described honestly, because the weight includes material that is not copper.
Fire-rated cable that was damaged during removal.
Jacket damage matters more on fire-rated cable than on almost anything else, because the rating depends on the construction staying intact. A crushed or slit length is priced on the copper. Undamaged lengths off the same job are priced as cable.
