MSU is relocating utilities near the FRIB site to prepare for the start of civil construction in 2012. This project includes the relocation of chilled water main distribution, electrical and communication duct banks, steam tunnels, and a natural gas main. The current work is the second and final phase of the $10.9 million utility relocation project.

Work on utility relocation will continue through 2012, but will be substantially complete to allow site preparation to begin in February 2012 and for civil construction in May 2012.
