The Lindon OW Building 2 CUDO Project

The Lindon OW Building 2 CUDO Project

Challenge

The Lindon OW Building 2 project in Lindon, Utah, marked a significant milestone as the first-ever installation of a CUDO® system in the state.

In collaboration with MKB Mechanical and with engineering support from Excel Engineering, the project aimed to implement a highly efficient, underground stormwater management system that maximized storage capacity while minimizing the system footprint.

Oldcastle Infrastructure’s CUDO® modular system was the ideal choice, offering lightweight, high-strength components, a 95% storage efficiency, and seamless integration with site conditions.

 

Solution

While CUDO® is a proven solution it was a new system to engineers and contractors in this part of the country, so Oldcastle Infrastructure provided on-site guidance and technical expertise to ensure a smooth and efficient installation process.

The Oldcastle team collaborated closely with MKB Mechanical and Excel Engineering to optimize assembly, ensuring the system was installed efficiently and effectively.

Key steps taken included:

  • On-site support Oldcastle Infrastructure provided hands-on guidance to assist with assembling and positioning the CUDO® cubes, streamlining the installation process.
  • Adaptive installation approach The team worked closely with the contractor to adjust the system layout on-site, demonstrating its flexibility and adaptability to various site conditions with a smaller footprint.
  • Collaborative, constructive teamwork The project was a testament to strong communication and problem-solving, setting a strong foundation for future CUDO® installations in Utah.

 

Outcome

The CUDO® system was successfully installed over a four-day period in November 2024, delivering an efficient and innovative stormwater solution.

The system provided 9,827 cubic feet of stormwater storage, exceeding the project’s requirements. Over 1,100 CUDO® units were used to achieve this.

Key highlights from the project include:

  • Successful first CUDO® installation in Utah This project set a precedent for future implementations in the region, proving the effectiveness and ease of installation of the CUDO® system.
  • Positive contractor feedback MKB Mechanical shared valuable insights on the system’s assembly process and performance, reinforcing its potential for future projects.
  • Strong partnership and teamwork The collaboration between Oldcastle Infrastructure, the contractor, and engineers ensured that the installation proceeded efficiently.

“With CUDO® we were able to get the volume in without having to interfere with other existing utilities. A smaller footprint also means less digging and less gravel that goes in around the system. Specific to that job we didn’t have anywhere to stage dirt/ gravel so the less we needed was a big help. With the smaller footprint offsetting the labor of install it makes it a great option for a lot of applications.”

Benefits

  • Efficient stormwater storage The CUDO® system’s 95% storage efficiency minimized the system footprint while maximizing capacity.
  • Lightweight and easy to install The modular components made handling and assembly quick and straightforward, even for first-time users.
  • Long-term maintenance accessibility The large interior openings allow for easy inspection and maintenance, ensuring long-term system performance.

The Lindon OW Building 2 project showcased the efficiency, adaptability, and long-term value of the CUDO® system, proving that this solution can provide continued success in stormwater management in the region.
