A chamber in a drainage system designed to catch sediment and debris..
A typical catchpit consists of a stack of concrete segments that form a chamber. They normally have open joints or weepholes when part of a surface water drain (one that collects water from the surface of surrounding ground). When used with carrier drains (that take water from place to place), catchpits have closed joints and do not need weepholes.
Use catchpit when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
