LT KERB

Lite kerb is possibly the lightest kerb and kerb drainage product in the market.

LT Kerb is a patented product compromising of an external shell with internal reinforcement matrix designed to be bedded in concrete akin to traditional concrete kerbs. The shell is then filled with self-compacting concrete to form a robust kerb.

The kerbs are designed to manufactured in long lengths and laid in lengths up to 8m. The product is light in weight (Less than 5kg/m). Current kerbs are laid in meter lengths and jointed to form a kerb string. There are advantages in having longer units as it vastly increases installation speeds.

WHY LT KERB?

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 kerb string 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.
