Catch Basins

Catch basins are part of a storm-drain system and are designed to prevent flooding or the accumulation of standing water. The catch basin consists of a grate and a below-ground compartment. The grate sits flush with the ground. Water runs through the grate and into the compartment below. The structure may include a sump to handle sediment and debris. An outlet pipe drains the water. A properly designed catch basin prevents water from collecting on roads, parking lots, playing fields and other surfaces. Catch basins are sometimes called storm drains because they prevent flooding from rain and melting snow.
