access chamber
arqueta can refer to any of three main "chambers" - access, inspection and manhole. Access is the smallest, which I think would be the case here.
Provision shall be made in the street lighting structure for water, which gathers in the pole, to run out of the pole into the wiring access chamber at the structure bottom. All provisions shall be within the wiring access chamber and shall not be visible or apparent from without the compartment when its covers are in place. Care should be taken that this drain water does not interfere with or affect the wiring terminal block or electrical connections.
