Catch Basin Adjustment and Installation

The primary function of a catch basin (or storm basin) in a parking lot is to collect pavement runoff and to prevent flooding or other water damage in low-lying areas. To ensure proper drainage, the pitch of a catch basin often needs to be adjusted. To do this, ACI experts first remove the asphalt perimeter of the catch basin and then excavate the base as deep as is necessary to perform the adjustment. In some situations, ACI Specialists may be able to install a new catch basin if better drainage is needed in the lot. This requires the area to be excavated deep enough to install the new concrete superstructure.
