Michels completes one of area's Top Projects

Michels is honored to receive a Top Projects Award for the successful installation of a mile-long pipeline under Interstate 41 in Germantown, WI.

The 24-inch natural gas pipeline replaced a smaller-diameter pipeline installed more than 50 years ago. Although open cutting was used to install that pipeline, development and the interstate highway made that impractical today. Instead Michels used Horizontal Directional Drilling to bore under the roadway and a wetland in the area.

The award was presented Thursday by the Daily Reporter.
