Catch basins are a critical element in a stormwater drainage system to help catch and direct stormwater to prevent flooding.
A precast concrete catch basin is a straightforward structure, typically round or box-shaped. It typically has an opening in the top covered by a slotted or perforated metal grate. These structures commonly find their place in parking lots or alongside street curbs, efficiently managing rainwater runoff from paved surfaces. These structures are often located in parking lots or along street curbs where rainwater runs off a paved surface.
Catch basins are generally installed as a series of structures, using gravity and downward-sloping gradient to ultimately convey the stormwater to its final destination.
