LT Kerb and LT drain

The end result is solid kerb with a polymeric concrete shell. The beauty of this product is its light weight and ability to be laid in long lengths. It is bedded at pavement edge in 150mm thick concrete and backing concrete installed just like traditional kerbs.

Self compacting concrete is recommended for LT kerbs. For high strength applications, fibre reinforced self compacting concrete such as Tarmc’s Topflow fibre is recommended. For low volume roads and residential  applications, normal concrete fill can be used.

• It is very light –  less than 5kgs per meter thus easy to handle without  need for mechanical aids. Meets HSE aspiration of eliminating manual handling of heavy kerb elements all together
• Can be manufactured and laid in long lengths – up to 8m unlike current kerbs which are laid in meter lengths. This will increase the lengths that can be laid in a shift (Cost savings) and accuracy of laying a kerbstring due to fewer joints.
• LT Kerbs can be economically filled with concrete creating kerbs of comparable strengths to precast concrete ones.
• Enables strengthening by incorporating reinforcement bars at concrete infill stage for higher loads applications. In normal kerbs only the  kerb bed can be reinforced.
• In cases of accidental high temperature fire, only the plastic shell melts leaving the inner concrete core intact. Melted shell can be easily repaired unlike fully polymeric alternatives
• Can be made into complete traffic islands or dropped crossings in one piece for ease of construction, something currently unavailable.
