box culvert, box drain, culvert Explanation: You learn something every day! I had only ever seen this in a maritime/nautical context so learnt one here. My Archtiecture & Construction dico gave box culvert or more simply, box drain. The GDT came up with this : bâtiment 1 / 1 pipe culvert Terme(s) apparenté(s) box drain culvert I do not know if you know of the GDT but when I discovered it through this site I was very pleased indeed!
