Divine Word Catholic Church

Willoughby, Ohio

The Divine Word Catholic Church has held religious gatherings daily for several decades, including weekday liturgies and rosaries, as well as weekend confession and Mass.

Problem:

The front driveway of the church required a stretch of trench drain to replace a previous installation that had served the site for over 30 years. The new installation needed to prevent significant pooling and be adjusted from the previous installation to increase performance and lifespan.

ACO Solution:
  • MonoBloc HD 100

The previous trench drain was replaced with MonoBloc HD 100, the ideal solution for quickly draining stormwater with its high-intake capacity while safely accommodating vehicle traffic directly over the run due to its monolithic build and F900 load rating.
