Catch basin
A receptacle, commonly box-shaped and fitted with a grilled inlet and a pipe outlet drain designed to collect rain water and debris from the surface and retain the solid material so that it may be removed at intervals. Catch basins are usually installed at the junction where several drain pipes join, beneath a bridge floor, or within the approach roadway with a grilled inlet adjacent to the roadway curb.
