Project Profile: In 2022, MES was awarded the Trenton Channel Submarine Cable Failure Replacement project that consisted of 4,000ft of underground conduit and 7,000ft of sub transmission cables design within DTE Energy’s Trenton Channel Power Plant. The project was initiated due to a submarine cable failure beneath the Detroit River, and included a 3,000ft directional bore from City of Trenton to Grosse Ile Township. MES was responsible for performing pre and post pulling calculations on the sub transmission cables that were installed in said conduits. In addition, MES prepared an inadvertent return (IR) plan and performed field monitoring during construction by drone during active drilling times.
