Oak Creek SW MIS Extension Project

Project Overview

The Oak Creek Southwest MIS Extension is a sewer extension project to provide sewer service to the southern-most areas of Milwaukee County and northern Racine County. The project includes extending the 24-inch sewer from Oakwood Road to the county line.

The sewer will be constructed in the median of 27th street and will be approximately a mile long. The sewer depth ranges between 25 and 85 feet deep and will be constructed using micro tunneling methods.

The photos below are examples of the micro boring machine and support structures from similar projects that used a micro-tunneling method.
