CatChpits

Catch-Pits are a drainage product that are recommended for use as a filter and collector in land drainage systems that do not make use of any sort of geo-membrane. A Catch Pit should be installed in areas where water is running to a natural watercourse as it can remove grit, silt and other debris.

A Catch-Pit is essentially an empty chamber with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe set at a level above the floor of the pit. Any sediment carried by the system settles out whilst in the Catch-Pit, from where it can be periodically pumped out or removed.

Instead of building a Catch-Pit onsite, consider buying a Tracey Concrete Catch-Pit saving yourself time and money.
