Concrete Catch Basins

Catch basins are drainage systems that collect and store stormwater runoff and other water from outdoor sources, and are frequently installed in the low points of fields, lawns, or paved areas.
Function
Catch basins collect water and debris, and direct it to a storm sewer or drainage system. They allow solids to settle and light materials to float, which helps remove pollution. They also help prevent flooding and erosion. The water is then directed to a storm sewer or drainage system that leads to nearby water bodies.
Location
Catch basins are commonly found in parking lots, on streets, and in residential and commercial areas.
Maintenance
Catch basins need to be regularly maintained to keep them free of debris and to reduce the chances of flooding. You can inspect your catch basin every three months to check sediment and floating oil levels. You should also clean your catch basin annually using a qualified company.

Catch basins are also known as storm drains, storm sewers, surface water drains, or stormwater drains.

There are several types of catch basins, including:
Open and closed systems
Open catch basins have grates or bars on top to allow water and debris in, while closed catch basins have solid covers to prevent debris from entering. Closed catch basins may require more maintenance because they can easily become clogged.
Inline catch basins
Designed to integrate into existing drainage systems, inline catch basins can be expanded or modified to suit your water management needs.
Curb inlets
Also known as storm drain inlets, curb inlets are structures with an opening into the storm drain system.
Prefabricated catch basins
These general purpose catch basins can be manufactured to any depth and come with a variety of frames and grates.
Concrete Catch Basins
Concrete Catch Basins collect stormwater from properties and streets and transport it through a system of underground piping, culverts and/or drainage ditches. Available in 2’x2’x4′. Meeting OPSD Standard 705.010, 705.020, 705.030, 705.040 and manufactured with a recessed ridge for holding a cast iron cover.
Plastic Catch Basins
Plastic Catch Basins are used for capturing and managing medium volume runoff water flow with multiple drain line connection points. Manufactured with structurally foamed polypropylene, they’re ideal for diverting water to safe areas away from the home. Available in a range of sizes for residential or municipal applications.
