Public Park 12 Inch Maxi System Case Study | Vodaland Canada

During the construction of a local park, the project team faced a specific challenge: the architect’s specifications required a high-capacity drainage system that exceeded standard residential sizes. Finding a system that balanced heavy-duty performance with an appropriate aesthetic for a public park—without looking overly "industrial"—proved difficult.

Overcoming Lead Time and Design Hurdles

The main obstacles were availability and design. Most local distributors quoted lead times of 3 to 4 weeks, which did not align with the project's tight construction schedule. Additionally, many available systems featured gratings that weren't suited for long-term public use or aesthetic integration.

After consulting with the Vodaland technical team, the contractor selected our 12-inch Maxi System.

Efficient Installation and Performance

Despite being a heavy-duty, high-capacity system, the Maxi units were designed with the installer in mind.

• Manageable Weight: Each section weighed approximately 75 lbs, which is significantly lighter and easier to handle than traditional pre-cast concrete systems of this size.
• Seamless Connections: The slide-and-seam connection design allowed for a rapid installation process.
• Rapid Deployment: The team successfully installed over 100 linear feet of the system in just a single day.

Logistics and Reliability

Timing was a critical factor for this project. The entire order arrived on-site, securely palletized and exactly as promised, allowing the crew to stay on schedule.

The ease of installation and the robust quality of the product led the contracting team to adopt Vodaland as their primary source for subsequent projects. The 12-inch Maxi system proved to be the ideal middle ground: meeting the engineer’s high-capacity requirements while remaining efficient for the crew to install.
