Challenges

Three major challenges marked this project:

Retention Volume

The retention system needed to accommodate a large volume of stormwater to prevent flooding and comply with the environmental standards set by the City of Montreal.

Space Constraint

The Proximity to the historic building limited the possibilities of installing large-scale stormwater infrastructure, necessitating a solution specifically designed for the confined space.

Accessibility

To preserve the integrity of the building, the installation had to be done without the use of heavy equipment, requiring an infrastructure that was easy to handle and assemble on-site.

Benefits

This project highlights the numerous advantages of KUSTOMFLO HDPE pipes for such applications:

• Optimal Space Management: The solution enabled a high-performance network to be installed while minimizing the impact on the limited space around the historic building.
• Simplified and Fast Installation: The longer lenght of KUSTOMFLO pipes reduced installation time, while simplifying the overall process.
• Unique Customization: KUSTOMFLO stands out with custom options, including wall thickness, stiffness and more than 100 profile types available.
• Exceptional Durability: Made of HDPE, KUSTOMFLO pipes offer a service life exceeding 100 years, ensuring a long-lasting infrastructure.
• Lightweight and Easy to Transport: Weighing up to 30 times less than concrete pipes of equivalent diameter, HDPE significantly reduces transportation costs and simplifies handling on-site.
• Full Compliance with Specifications: All technical specifications for the project were met, ensuring the solution adhered perfectly to requirements.
