The Lindon OW Building 2 CUDO Project

The Lindon OW Building 2 CUDO Project

Lightweight Modular Stormwater Storage

The first CUDO® installation in Utah helped a light industrial development in Lindon deliver high-efficiency lightweight stormwater storage. 

 

The 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, Oldcastle Infrastructure needed to deliver a highly efficient, underground stormwater management system that maximized storage capacity while minimizing the system footprint.

 

The Solution

The modular CUDO® system was the ideal choice for the project, offering lightweight, high-strength components, a 95% storage efficiency, and seamless integration with site conditions.

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

Oldcastle’s stormwater experts collaborated closely with MKB Mechanical and Excel Engineering to optimize the assembly process, ensuring the system was installed efficiently and effectively.

Benefits of partnering with Oldcastle Infrastructure

  • On-site support Oldcastle provided hands-on guidance throughout 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 efficiency and success of the project was a testament to strong communication and problem-solving on the part of the Oldcastle team, contractors and engineers.

 

The Outcome

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

The system provided 9,827 cubic feet of underground storage at 95% efficiency, exceeding the project’s requirements. Over 1,100 CUDO® units were used to achieve this.

Project highlights

  • Successful first CUDO® installation in Utah This project provided a reference 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 and safely.

“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 viability of the CUDO® lightweight stormwater storage system.
