Lake Champlain Heavy Civil Marine Construction

Project Overview:

As part of a major system infrastructure project, CMI was contracted by the New York Power Authority to place new underwater transmission cables, spanning 1.7 miles, across Lake Champlain. The new power cables, laid as much as 195 feet below the lake’s surface, enable power flow to and from Vermont along with improved power communications systems. Work involved uniquely drilling into bedrock to avoid disrupting the shoreline habitat, remotely operating underwater vehicles, and cable laying vessels and divers.
