About Michels
Michels is a family-owned construction organisation specialising in energy and infrastructure. Its family of companies provides services across new construction, rehabilitation and specialist technical works, supported by its own personnel and equipment. Based in Brownsville, Wisconsin, the organisation works across different regions and markets, with individual businesses focused on particular construction disciplines.
Markets and Project Experience
Its markets include civil construction, traditional and renewable energy, foundations, marine works, mission-critical infrastructure, transportation and water or wastewater systems. Energy transition capabilities cover solar, wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, battery storage and renewable natural gas. Published work includes the Cavalry Solar battery storage system and infrastructure supporting Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind.
Construction and Technical Services
Michels’ specialist businesses undertake pipelines, power infrastructure, underground cables, road and stone work, trenchless construction and utility services. Its preconstruction team supports large energy, infrastructure, marine and transportation programmes. Documented trenchless work includes horizontal directional drilling and Direct Pipe installations for offshore wind electrical conduits, while other teams provide foundations and complex marine construction.
People and Delivery
The organisation describes safety as the cornerstone of its culture, with continuing investment in training, equipment and technology. Its project planning considers social and environmental responsibility alongside constructability and the well-being of personnel. Michels’ profile is therefore centred on technically varied infrastructure work rather than conventional building construction. Its self-performed capabilities and specialist businesses allow projects to draw on a combination of field resources and technical experience where underground, marine or energy interfaces require detailed coordination.
