Light Industrial Work in New Orleans & the River Region

Mayer Building Company was selected to perform essential electrical infrastructure upgrades at Copart’s facility in New Orleans East. This project ensured reliable backup power by installing a 600A double-throw manual transfer switch with camlocks. Key tasks included rerouting the Entergy utility service, coordinating shutdowns, and implementing custom blocking, caulking, and structural support for the new system. Despite a 30-week lead time on critical equipment, Mayer worked closely with the client and electrical subcontractor to execute the project with safety and efficiency at the forefront. Through proactive cost management and transparent communication, we successfully returned unused project funds to the owner at the closeout, providing operational readiness and measurable value. As a result, a clean and well-integrated generator connection was created, ensuring that Copart's operations can continue seamlessly when most needed.
