CUDO™ Stormwater Management Systems

The Cudo™ Stormwater Management Systems offers a new approach to underground stormwater storage, infiltration, treatment, rainwater harvesting, and other stormwater management needs. The product incorporate a unique arched design that adds structural integrity increased water storage, and enhanced inspection and maintenance access.

The Cudo system sets a new standard for stormwater treatment systems through its capability of incorporating built-in gross pollutant filters or media filter devices and integral metered outlet devices, eliminating the need for separate pre-treatment systems or outlet/flow control structures.

The large void spaces create an ideal use for the Cudo as an integral part of a bioretention system as it replaces drain pipe and aggregate with a highly porous mix, enhancing the opportunity for rainwater harvesting and passive or active irrigation.

The CUDO is made in the USA using injection molded, recycled, polypropelene plastic. Potential LEED&red; NC credits include Sustainable Sites (6.1,6.2), Materials & Reuse (4.1,4.2, 5.1,5.2 in CA, AZ, NV, UT) and Water Efficiency (1.1,1.2,3.1,3.2).

CUDOs may be installed as a single-level system, or connected vertically, to form a CUDO stack, increasing storage capacity. Formed stacks can be easily moved about a construction site. For each application, either a filter fabric or plastic liner is placed beneath and around the CUDO modules, forming an envelope around the entire system. Geo-grid or other structural enhancement may be incorporated into the CUDO installation, depending on the loading requirements.

For installations with severe loading conditions due to shallow or deep burial depths, high water tables, and further enhanced maintenance access, CUDO water storage systems are also available in precast concrete designs to address the needs of such special site conditions.
