Product Introduction
Spec Sheet

Basic Description

This innovative product redefines roadside drainage by integrating the water channel directly into the curb unit. It eliminates the need for a separate drain pipe or grate next to the kerb,creating a clean,continuous line along the road edge. Surface water flows directly from the road into the integrated channel within the curb itself,where it is safely conveyed to a discharge point. This system is engineered for durability,efficient water management,and streamlined installation in urban and suburban road projects.

Core Strengths

Space-Efficient Dual Function:

Combines the essential functions of a road kerb and a drainage channel into a single,compact unit,maximizing usable space in the road corridor.

Streamlined Installation & Cost Savings:

Reduces on-site labor and time by installing one pre-cast unit instead of multiple separate components (kerb + separate drain + pipes).

Effective & Contained Water Capture:

Efficiently collects surface runoff directly at the pavement edge,preventing water from spreading across pedestrian paths or adjacent property.

Enhanced Safety & Clean Aesthetics:

Provides a well-defined,unobstructed road edge. The integrated design eliminates gaps or grates that can pose trip hazards or catch bicycle tires.

Durable & Low-Maintenance Construction:

Made from robust precast concrete or polymer concrete,it withstands vehicular impact and weather extremes with minimal long-term upkeep.

Improved Hydraulic Performance:

The smooth,continuous channel within the curb ensures good flow capacity and is less prone to blockage from debris compared to some grated inlets.

Airport Aprons & Service Roads:

Where defined edges and reliable drainage are critical.

Bike Lanes & Pedestrian Pathways:

To safely separate zones and handle runoff without hazardous grates.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation
  • Prepare a stable,graded sub-base along the road edge.
  • Lay a concrete bedding course to the required level and line.
  • Position the pre-cast kerb and channel units end-to-end on the bedding,ensuring alignment and connection at joints.
  • Backfill behind the units with suitable material and compact.
  • Connect the channel outlets to the main stormwater pipe system at designated points.
  • Complete the road pavement up to the face of the kerb.
Maintenance
  • Regular street sweeping to prevent excessive silt and leaves from entering the open channel.
  • Periodic inspection and clearing of the channel and outlet points,especially after heavy storms or in autumn.
  • The robust concrete construction requires no specific maintenance; inspect for any physical damage from impacts.
