Due to mountainous terrain and existing utility lines in some parts of a West Virginia transmission line rebuild project, Michels Power, Inc. combined traditional construction techniques with helicopter-assisted techniques. A helicopter flew poles and sections of structures from a landing zone at the bottom of the hills to their places on the right of way. Communication and trust are essential when lifts with a combined weight up to 6,000 pounds are being lowered into the line workers' waiting hands.


Michels is one of the largest, most diversified energy and infrastructure contractors. We combine the collective strengths of our hard-working people, our enviable equipment fleet and our substantial experience into one team that can construct and manage your project from planning to completion. This unified approach allows the Michels Family of Companies to provide innovative solutions, consistent quality and the convenience of having one key point of contact for all facets of a complex project.
