Road Construction
Michels Road & Stone, Inc. meets the rising demands for safe, durable road and highway construction. Contrary to what the public may think, concrete or asphalt surfaces are not the only determining factor for a roadway’s smooth, low-maintenance life. From sourcing DOT-approved aggregates to optimizing smoothness and ride with stringless equipment, lasers and 3D models, we combine the power of the largest equipment with attention to the smallest details. The result is a roadway able to withstand heavy traffic loads and all weather conditions.
We invite you to discover Michels Road & Stone’s road construction solutions.
Earthwork, Excavation & Grading
Earthwork is a foundational element of every project and never an afterthought. Our massive equipment fleet allows us to use the right equipment for the job, regardless of the material. Site grading and water management, through the installation of underdrain and drain tile, ensure the site remains stable.
We optimize our earthmoving equipment and experienced operators by pairing them with state-of-the-art technology to complete projects of all sizes, scopes, and complexities, safely and efficiently.
Mass Aggregate Placement
Pavement strength is determined by many factors besides the top layer of concrete. Michels Road & Stone sources and places the specific aggregate base mixture required for strong, smooth, long-lasting surfaces. Our combination of spreaders, dozers, graders, rollers, and other specialized equipment place and compact roadbeds for optimal lifespan and performance.
Shouldering
Michels Road & Stone offers the same care to road shoulders as all other aspects of road construction. We use specialized equipment and experienced crews to compact and level subgrade before we place DOT-approved aggregate at a specified gradation. The result is a stable surface able to support vehicle traffic and emergency needs.
Batch Plants
Michels Road & Stone uses sophisticated, fully mobile concrete batch plants to ensure we produce and use properly mixed concrete. Each concrete batch plant is a mix of brawn and brain, using mighty loaders, belts, and augers to precisely combine and test concrete before, during, and after we place and finish it.
Paving the Way
FACT: Michels Road & Stone operated two side-by-side batch plants to produce 575,300 square yards of 12-inch concrete pavement for a 9-mile interstate highway project in southeastern Wisconsin.
Concrete Paving
Michels Road & Stone uses experienced crews and advanced technologies to maximize safety, efficiency, durability and quality in all concrete paving projects. Lasers and 3D models allow our entirely stringless paving fleet to increase smoothness and timeliness in paving projects of all sizes. Our equipment includes slipform pavers, spreaders, placers and trimmers.
Materials Lab
A structure is only as strong as its core components. At our Materials Lab in Fond du Lac, WI, our quality control technicians conduct aggregate quality and gradation testing, test concrete cylinders and beams to discover what they can withstand, and perform a battery of additional tests to ensure the materials used at Michels Road & Stone’s jobsites meet or exceed project requirements.
Our satellite labs throughout the state assist with testing, allowing us to keep concrete and aggregate testing, pavement smoothness testing, concrete mixing, and the creation of new construction aggregates in house and cost effective for our customers, including other members of the Michels Family of Companies.
