With its collective strength, Michels offers construction, engineering and procurement services to keep pace with the growing demand in the energy, transportation, telecommunications and utility construction industries.

Michels perfected a cutting-edge technology which rehabilitates an existing pipe without the need to break ground. Rather than the costly, messy job of removing and replacing the old pipe, let Michels bring it back to like-new condition. Michels rehabilitates deteriorated lines by lining the inside using premium felts and resins for a monolithic structural repair. No excavation or lengthy downtime is required for this trenchless technology, which means less impact on the surrounding environment. Michels has over 3 million feet of experience in industrial and municipal applications.
