Context
Modernizing municipal stormwater infrastructure
During inspections of the stormwater network, an aging concrete structure was identified as needing replacement. For the City of Victoriaville, sustainability plays an important role in infrastructure decisions. As part of this approach, the municipality is gradually replacing concrete catch basins with HDPE catch basins.
This project reflects a broader municipal objective: modernizing stormwater infrastructure with durable solutions that support long-term network performance.
Challenge
Replacing an aging structure without compromising the existing network
The challenge was to replace an aging concrete stormwater structure with a durable, high-performance solution adapted to municipal requirements, while ensuring proper integration with the existing stormwater network.
The new structure had to connect efficiently to the pipes already in place, help preserve network watertightness and simplify installation on site.
Solutions
Integrating a durable, lightweight and watertight HDPE catch basin
A triple-wall HDPE catch basin was selected for its ability to adapt to different types of pipes while maintaining the watertightness of the stormwater network.
Made of HDPE, the catch basin provides excellent resistance to de-icing salts, abrasives, chemicals and vibration. Its lightweight design also helps facilitate handling and installation on the job site when compared to conventional structures.
This solution allows the municipality to modernize its stormwater network with a product designed for durable performance. When standards allow it, the use of recycled material in Soleno products also supports the municipality’s sustainability objectives.
