Catch basins are the highest-capacity intake component in any surface drainage system. When properly placed at low-lying collection points, they intercept and transfer large volumes of runoff before water can migrate toward structures, pavements, or landscaped areas.
Ace 1 integrates catch basins into multiple system configurations, including:
Stand-alone solid-line drainage runs designed for high-volume surface collection
Downspout discharge systems where roof runoff must be rapidly captured and conveyed
French drain networks to improve intake performance at localized low areas
Infiltration and exfiltration trench systems requiring controlled water distribution
By combining high-flow basin inlets with properly sized conveyance piping, Ace 1 systems maximize intake efficiency and accelerate water removal from the site. No other intake method processes concentrated surface runoff faster than a correctly engineered catch basin installation positioned at the primary water accumulation points.
