Rapid response when disasters strike

"While 2006 was a quiet year, Cleco would like to thank Irby again for its outstanding performance supplying transmission materials during hurricanes Katrina and Rita restoration efforts.

These disasters were the most devastating storms in Cleco’s long history. Both storms had inland winds in excess of 120 mph. Katrina produced record storm surges and damage along the entire north shore of Lake Pontchartrain.

Cleco could not recover from such events without capable suppliers such as Irby. With quick response, materials for transmission line repair began delivering as soon as roads were marginally passable after both storms. Supply of materials continued until the final structure was completed and energized.

Cleco looks forward to continuing its long-term business relationship with Irby.”
