Consumers Energy Neighborhood Grid Projects

Consumers Energy is upgrading the gas pipeline infrastructure with some large neighborhood projects this summer, as shown in YELLOW on the project map above. To learn more visit: ConsumersEnergy.com/pipelineupgrade 

Below is a quick summary of work done this past week on the 2 grid projects, ROK1 & ROK2. The map below shows the location of those 2 projects, but not necessarily the phase (or area) of current work.

Both projects have been affected by reduced work crew sizes (due to Covid-19, training, and other absences) which has slowed productivity some. Although the absence rates are getting lower, Consumers continues to manage through these challenges in order to maintain their goal to complete the projects before year end. Restoration is also slowed due to employee attrition & Covid-19 absences.

ROK1:

• This past week crews worked along Grandview, Sheridan, Arden,  Greenfield, Berkshire, Mankato, and Seminole streets.
• Consumers is near completion of phase 6.  The bulk of work is in the phase 1 area.
• Next week Consumers plans to continue work along Greenfield, Normandy and Berkshire streets.
• Adjustments to Consumers' traffic control plan along Greenfield have made some improvement. Police presence has aided significantly. As before, Consumers will continue to monitor this situation since employee safety and public safety is at risk.

• This past week crews worked along  Main, Orchard Grove, Greenleaf, Poplar, Evergreen, Maple and Maxwell streets.
• Consumers is completing restoration work on phase 1 and installations in phase 5 & 1.
• Next week crews will be on Main, Hickory, Evergreen, Maxwell, Maple, Woodsboro, Cedar Hill, Butternut and streets.

• Consumers is now working 10 hour days Monday through Thursday, 8 hour days on Fridays and voluntary 8 hour days on Saturdays.
• The proposed construction schedules for each project are listed below so that you can coordinate with any city activity/work.
• Below are the planned start/finish dates for each grid project:

While working on weekends Consumers crews will be conscious of disruptions our presence may have and will be engaged in creative ways to minimize noise and other impacts to the residences.
