This is a precast concrete drain unit--some sort of integrated gutter inlet/pipe system that I'm not familiar with, and I'm striking out searching for the correct English language terminology. There are a a few different manufacturers:

Here's the text description:
"Los módulos de canal ‘CAZ’ para vertidos contaminantes, con o sin bordillo, se incorporan a un sistema de protección de las calzadas de los túneles de nueva construcción, de acuerdo con las últimas directrices europeas de seguridad. Estos elementos incorporan, adicionalmente, las juntas elastoméricas para realizar así una unión estanca. Su sección es de 57x55 centímetros con una longitud de 3 metros."

I've found "linear drainage channel" in English, which is normally just a shallow linear trench drain covered with a grating, but also one (!) reference to "circular pipe linear drainage channel" via Google books, in the aptly named "Design of Linear Drainage Systems," (http://books.google.com/books?id=UX7cOMfK0toC&pg=4#v=onepage... including a picture that looks quite similar to these Spanish products on p. 4.
