01The market
What Northeast Georgia generates
Northeast Georgia holds three very different electrical economies. Dalton is the carpet and floorcovering capital, with tufting machines, dye lines and continuous process equipment that consume drive cable and motor lead. Gainesville processes poultry at a scale that makes refrigeration and washdown the dominant electrical load. Athens adds the University of Georgia, research buildings and a machinery plant.
Plant material from this region is usually the most interesting: VFD cable from dye lines, control and instrumentation cable from process areas, tray cable from rack runs, and the medium voltage feeders behind a plant substation. It is also the material most often stored badly, in a wet corner of a maintenance shop.

04Questions
Northeast Georgia questions
What does a carpet plant generate when a line is rebuilt?
VFD and motor lead cable from tufting and dye equipment, control cable from the line controllers, tray cable from rack runs, and the occasional medium voltage feeder from a plant substation upgrade.
Do you review cable from poultry processing plants?
Yes. Washdown chemicals and constant moisture attack jackets, so condition is read first and ends are checked for water ingress before footage matters.
Is plant liquidation material different from ordinary surplus?
It is usually larger and less documented. A liquidation review depends on a manifest, an authorised contact and access to the whole storehouse rather than one shelf.
