A small buried structure to divert overland stormwater flow into sewer flows.
or catch-basin 1) A structure used to catch sediments for contaminant retention, often on a stream. 2) A cistern or vault at the point where a pipe from inside a factory or a street gutter discharges into a sewer, to catch bulky matters which would not pass readily through the sewer.
a below-ground structure designed to collect and convey water into the storm sewer system. The design allows sediment to fall to the bottom of the catch basin and not directly into the pipe.
A conventional structure for the capture of stormwater utilized in streets and parking areas. It typically includes an inlet, sump, and outlet and provides minimal removal of suspended solids. In most cases a hood also is included to separate oil and grease from the stormwater.
Sieve-like device at a sewers entrance to prevent solid matter from blocking system.
a device that receives storm water drainage from an outside surface area
a storm sewer structure used to collect surface drainage and direct it to the storm sewer or storm outlet
A structure usually buried, where surface water is captured and conveyed into pipes and/or where piping (often of different sizes) is connected.
Structural component of a storm sewer system that collects storm water runoff and routes it into the system. Catch basins may be located in the curbside of roadways, in swales and ditches, or in detention/retention facilities. Curb inlet: A catch basin located in the curbside of a roadway whose sole function is to collect storm water runoff and route it into the storm sewer system.
A grated structure used to capture surface drainage, which is then channeled elsewhere.
A drain for a low or wet spot, with pipe exiting the side and a pit at the bottom to collect sediment.
Box-like underground concrete structure with openings in curbs and gutters designed to collect runoff from streets and pavements.
Curbside opening that collects rainwater from streets and serves as an entry point to the storm drain system.
A structure that collects water.
A chamber or well, usually built at the curb line of a street, for the admission of surface water to a storm sewer or sub-drain
A chamber usually built at the curb line of a street for the admission of surface water to a storm sewer of sub-drain, having at its base a sediment sump designed to retain grit and detritus below the point of overflow.
An entryway to the storm drain system, usually located at a street comer
An inlet to a storm or combined sewer equipped with a sediment sump, and sometimes a hood, on its outlet pipe to the sewer. Catch basins prevent clogging of sewers by sediment and debris washed off streets, and provide a water seal against the venting of sewer gases.
A drainage structure which collects water. May be either a structure where water enters from the side or through a grating.
A chamber or well used as part of a stormwater system as both a collection point, and as a means of removing grit which might otherwise enter and be deposited in the pipes.
A structure with a grate on top used to collect and divert surface runoff to an underground drain pipe system. At the base of the catch basin is a sump or sediment trap to collect debris.
an underground receptacle with a surface grating for street drainage that connects to the sewer system
Basin which collects water that has been rerouted from another location.
Large underground container, with a grate on the top, for collection of storm water run-off. It catches or collects dirt and other debris and prevents them from polluting streams and lakes..
