The $3 million Zippin Pippin Roller Coaster, located in city-owned Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, was designed to replicate a wooden roller coaster, renowned as Elvis Presley’s favorite amusement park ride that operated for numerous years in Memphis, Tenn. Miron built the 7,000-piece, 70-foot-tall, 2,400 linear-foot-long wooden coaster, beginning with construction of the frame on concrete footings and continuing with the installation of the wooden tracks and affixment of the steel plates to the tracks to support the coaster cars. Upon completion of construction of the coaster, Miron also performed the mechanical installation portion of the project. The ride opened to the public in May 2011.

The $17 million Rhinelander Wastewater Treatment Facility was constructed to comply with terms of the DNR’s phosphorous removal requirements. The project encompassed the construction of a main lift station on the existing site and the construction of 13 separate structures on a new Greenfield site. The structures on the new site included: headworks building, primary clarifiers, aeration basin, process control building, final clarifiers, digester building, thermophilic digester, mesophilic digester, sludge processing building, area lift station, sludge storage building and pad, administration building and a service garage. The new plant employs a biological phosphorous removal process that limits the presence of phosphorous in the wastewater to one part per million, a considerable improvement in terms of environmental impact from the previous facility, which used a chemical treatment process and only achieved the standard of 3.5 parts per million.
