English term or phrase: catch basin lead
The document is a civil engineering website, and the phrase is:

"The City of Ottawa retained us to provide the expedited rehabilitation of several catch basin leads along Colonel By Drive".

It seems like it's some kind of pipe, but I'm hoping for the technical term if there is one. And especially if there's a FR-CA variant.

Canalisation d'évacuation d'avaloir, sortie d'avaloir


Explanation:
"Catch Basin: An entryway to the storm drain system, usually located at street corners."
https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server...

So we're looking at nothing larger than an avaloir, grille avaloir [both horizontal entrances], bouche à grille, collecteur [CH], dépotoir [CH], or sterput [BE] such as you will find ' usually located at street corners'.

As for 'lead', logic suggests that since water is carried to the catch basin by the gutter, the lead must be what carries it away. This appears to be the case.

"As shown in Figure 1, the MEFS will consist of catch basins with deep sumps (1 m) and will have two lead pipes, located at different elevations, with both equipped with goss traps."

Klaus-Jürgen Evert's Encyclopedic Dict. of Landscape and Urban Planning suggests conduite aval for 'lead'.
