Catch Basin, Manhole and Trench Drain Work in New York City
Catch basins are the grates at the curb that take stormwater off the street. Manholes are the access points to what runs underneath. Trench drains are the long channels that pick up water across a driveway, a loading dock, or a garage floor. All three fail the same ways — they silt up, the frame separates from the structure, or the brickwork below gives.

Catch basins
Installation, repair and cleaning. A basin that hasn’t been cleaned holds sediment instead of moving water, and the first heavy rain puts that water somewhere you didn’t want it. Frames and grates get replaced when the casting cracks or the seating fails.
Manholes
New structures, rebuilt chimneys, replaced frames and covers. Most manhole problems are at the top — the chimney course under the frame carries the traffic load and eventually gives.
Trench drains
Installation and cleaning for driveways, loading docks, parking structures and yards. Channel set to grade, so the water actually runs.
Who this is for
Property managers, general contractors and agencies. Much of it is DOT and DEP work on city streets, on their permits and their inspections.
