The buying desk
A wire buyer for the technical end of the market
We buy surplus, obsolete and scrap electrical wire and cable across Georgia, with an emphasis on the material that needs a technical read: transmission conductor, substation cable, medium and high voltage cable, and plant surplus.
- Statewide
- Utility and industrial
- Direct buyer review
01Position
What this desk is for
There is no shortage of people who will buy wire by weight. There are far fewer who will read a reel tag, work out what a 15 kV 500 kcmil copper reel with documented footage actually is, and price it as the asset it represents rather than as copper with a jacket on.
This desk exists for the second kind of transaction. The material comes from utilities and electric membership cooperatives clearing surplus or reconductoring a line, from EPC contractors finishing transmission and substation work, from plants and mills during shutdowns and liquidations, and from demolition contractors taking down industrial buildings.
Georgia already has a general contractor wire site in the group. This one takes the utility, high-voltage and heavy-industry end deliberately, because the questions are different. A contractor wants to know what a pallet of leftover THHN is worth. A substation engineer wants to know whether the 230 kV reel in the yard can be reused, and what documentation has to travel with it. Those are not the same conversation.
02Method
How a review actually runs
Identify
Tag, jacket print, stranding or a measured cut end. The family and construction come first because everything else — voltage, handling, freight — follows from them.
Quantify
Sequential footage marks where they exist, wrap count against barrel diameter where they do not, and weight only when the construction is known well enough to look it up.
Establish release
Utility, plant or owner authorisation, with a reference and a site contact. Utility material without a release cannot be bought, however good it looks.
Plan the movement
Reel diameter, weight, lifting equipment and access. Freight is planned around the site, and the site is not always built for a 53-foot trailer.
