English term or phrase: puck basin
Tekst dotyczy metod zabezpieczania miast przed powodziami powodowanymi przez ulewne deszcze. W opisie metody budowy pewnego stadionu jest takie oto zdanie: "In one place, a traditional puck (stones and rocks) basin would be too bulky, according to contractor XYZ". Potem jeszcze jest stwierdzenie: "The foundation consisted of a 15 cm thick layer of finpuck." A także wypowiedź: "I'm more worried about our other puck basins as they will probably clog-up eventually". Będę wdzięczna za podpowiedź, jak to fachowo określić.

Explanation:

From the description, this appears to be what in the USA is called a "dry well" - a well filled with rocks and stones that serves to catch and hold rainwater and then to release it to the surrounding soil.

"Puck" appears to be some local jargon for stones and rock.
The basin here appears to be non-cylindrical, but the principle of operation appears to be that of a dry well.
Dry wells can clog up when the space between the rocks, gravel, etc., becomes filled up with dirt.

"I was not involved in this process at the time, so I did not suspect that this 30-meter long and 12-meter wide infiltration basin was built up of Wavin plastic units," he admits. “I thought that this basin also consisted of puck.”

A dry well or drywell is an underground structure that disposes of unwanted water, most commonly surface runoff and stormwater, and in some cases greywater. It is a covered, porous-walled chamber that allows water to slowly soak into the ground (that is, percolate), dissipating into the groundwater. Such structures are often called a soakaway in the UK, a soakwell in Australia,[1] and a soak pit in India.

Simple dry wells consist of a pit filled with gravel, riprap, rubble, or other debris. Such pits resist collapse, but do not have much storage capacity because their interior volume is mostly filled by stone. A more advanced dry well defines a large interior storage volume by a reinforced concrete cylinder with perforated sides and bottom. These dry wells are usually buried completely, so that they do not take up any land area. The dry wells for a parking lot's storm drains are usually buried below the same parking lot.

Z uwagi na nieregularne wymiary, dna zbiornika należy powierzchnię pomiędzy krawędziami skarp otaczających zbiornik a płytami obudować nawierzchnią z brukowca 16÷20cm z kamienia ułożonego na podsypce piaskowej o grubości jak pod płytami żelbetowymi. Spoiny między płytami żelbetowymi i brukowcem wypełnić żwirkiem - https://goo.gl/ETksTV - page 4
