Abstract
A catch basin system includes a first conduit, a second conduit, a basin, and an access port. The first and second conduits are spaced-apart and are aligned along a first axis. The basin is disposed between the first and second conduits. The basin extends downward from the first and second conduits. The access port is aligned along a second axis, is disposed above the basin, is disposed between the first and second conduits, and extends upward from the first and second conduits. The access port is configured to provide access to the basin.
