Trenton Channel Asbestos Exposure – Legal Help for Power Plant Workers


Trenton Channel Power asbestos exposure harmed countless Michigan workers who never knew the dangers they faced on the job. For decades, tradesmen, utility workers, and contractors were exposed to asbestos-containing materials inside the plant—often without any warning or protection. If you or a loved one worked at the Trenton Channel Power Plant and later developed mesothelioma or another asbestos-related illness, you may be entitled to legal compensation.

Located in the industrial corridor of Trenton, Michigan, the Trenton Channel Power Plant—once owned and operated by DTE Energy—was a critical part of the regional energy infrastructure. But for many boilermakers, pipefitters, turbine mechanics, and electricians, this plant also represented a serious health risk due to widespread asbestos exposure throughout the facility.

Asbestos Use at Trenton Channel

During peak operations, asbestos was commonly used throughout Trenton Channel’s insulation systems. Piping, turbines, boilers, and ducts were often coated with asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) to control heat and prevent fire. While effective for thermal insulation, these materials released microscopic asbestos fibers when disturbed—especially during maintenance, demolition, or retrofitting work.

Tradespeople, especially contractors brought in for overhauls or routine servicing, may have unknowingly inhaled these deadly fibers. And those workers may have unintentionally carried asbestos dust home on clothing and gear, creating take-home exposure risks for family members.
