The only way I would touch that is with a total redo- shutting down the building. Perhaps a sealant can take care of the water entering the boxes.

Rip it apart start again with a plan and it will come together nicely.
It realy does not look like that many circuits, clean up the LV crap and get that out of the way then deal with the feeders.
You could make this look great ........ but I do agree with the others, there is no half way here, it's time to jump in and fix it right.

We're dealing with the water situation first.
This is for the kind of stuff that can not be turned off so we're planning to re feed it all temporary first, disconnect all the crap and hopefully re use some of the underground conduit runs.
Alot of this stuff is no longer in use, just left there. This building was built in the 30's I think.

Foam the inside of the pipes to stop the water and rip everything out when you get the job

Foam the other end so they don't fill up with water. Duct seal doesn't keep water out?
