Power plant workers in Flint, Michigan were routinely exposed to asbestos through insulation, gaskets, pipe coverings, and other components used in energy production. These materials, once praised for their fireproofing qualities, contained high levels of asbestos and exposed generations of workers to long-term health risks—including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis.
If you or a loved one worked in or near a Flint-area power plant and were later diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, you may be entitled to compensation.
Where Was Asbestos Found in Flint Power Plants?
During the peak industrial years of the 20th century, Flint’s energy sector relied on asbestos across many jobsite areas, including:
- Boiler rooms and steam turbines
- Pipe systems insulated with asbestos
- Turbine and pump gaskets
- Switchgear, electrical panels, and arc chutes
- Cement panels and ceiling tiles
Asbestos dust was often released into the air during repairs, shutdowns, or equipment replacements—putting millwrights, electricians, insulators, and engineers at serious risk.

FAQs – Flint Power Plant Exposure
What asbestos products were used in Flint power plants?
Asbestos insulation, block, gaskets, fireproofing panels, and pipe coverings were standard materials in power plant operations until the 1980s.
Can I still file a claim if I was exposed in the 1970s or 1980s?
Yes. Michigan’s statute of limitations starts from the date of diagnosis, not exposure. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma, now is the time to act.
What types of compensation are available?
Depending on your case, you may be eligible for settlements from asbestos trusts, lawsuits against still-operating companies, or veterans benefits if you were exposed during military service.
