Gulf Coast reconstruction efforts continue to generate business for electrical manufacturers, distributors, reps and their customers. At least one large electrical contractor said it had received a substantial amount of work related to damage for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Through several of its business units, Integrated Electrical Services Inc., Houston, is focused on work in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas and is beginning to see increased business opportunities resulting from the rebuilding and relief efforts. IES has already received more than $16 million in work awarded or verbally committed related to rebuilding and relief efforts in the Gulf Coast. The work includes commitments on apartment building projects, plant maintenance work and repair and refinery-related clean-up projects. Some of these projects have been accelerated due to need and federal grants. Recently awarded work includes emergency generator services and electrical hook-up work for FEMA and other relief-oriented agencies.
