Loud noises between Dorsey Converter Station and north of Highway 1? Don't be alarmed

As part of our Manitoba-Minnesota Transmission Project (MMTP), we’re building towers and stringing lines. Part of the project involves fusing metal conductor lines together.

To do that, we use an implosion sleeve. It’s a safe and effective way to create a permanent, high quality connection between two separate pieces of power line.

An implosion sleeve makes a loud noise and flash similar to a firework. If you hear or see one, don’t panic — it’s probably just us.

We’ll be using implosion sleeves from Dorsey Converter Station to north of Highway 1 and will follow local noise bylaws.
