Building transmission lines is a complex operation. Michels knows exactly how to get it done because we have built tens of thousands of miles of 69kV to 500kV transmission lines throughout the United States, often in challenging conditions. Forgive our boasting, but we have proven that we have the crews and equipment needed to construct multiple large-scale projects simultaneously. We also have tenured project leaders who demonstrate every day the importance of safe work, good communication and strong environmental stewardship.
Michels installed 27 concrete caisson foundations ranging from 7 to 10 feet in diameter and up to 64 feet in depth and 73 direct embed excavations 5 feet in diameter and up to 36 feet in depth to support Michels' construction of a transmission line.
This Michels project consists of building 38 miles of transmission line as well as rebuilding nine miles of existing line in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Michels installed approximately 250 miles of high voltage 345-kV AC transmission line.
Michels installed 55 miles of 345-kV double and single circuit conductor lines.
