Asphalt Kerb
Proven benefits
Extruded asphalt kerb is the most prolific type of machine laid drainage system in the UK. It is proven over almost 4 decades to provide durable, reliable service with a life that frequently exceeds that of the pavement upon which it is laid.
Construction is entirely free from manual handling, fully automated and not weather dependent.
Quality control is largely regulated by automated circuitry within the sophisticated asphalt kerbing machine.
Preparation and setting out is simple and effective requiring little third party input.
A minimal working environment is required. Normal operation requires only a standard 2-lane closure. Restricted width working is available within a single lane closure.
Productivity is unsurpassed in any machine laid drainage system. Typically 350 linear metres of kerb per hour are extruded and, where lengths permit, a single gang can construct over 3,500 metres in a 10 hour working window.
Initial installation costs are extremely competitive with a basic asphalt kerb costing around 25% of the cost of a standard precast kerb.
