What is Concrete Road Curb

Concrete road curb is the road edging where a flat pavement or path meets an unflat street or walkway, the level of both roads is different and the water will flow to the lower level portion.

It’s one type of concrete curb called combined curb and gutters. It’s commonly used to overcome the flooding problems.

Normally road curb is made from concrete, stones, alphalt and etc, but concrete and alphalt are commonly used for road curb in construction industries. Wherever you go on the road, you can see the concrete road curb besides the walkway.

Function Of Concrete Road Curb

There is a few of function and usage for the concrete curb at the roadside. There will be a few purposes of installing concrete curb :

i) Avoid Flood
It’s works as a gutter that allows the water flow in by lower road level and flow into the drainage.

ii) Safety To Driver And Motorcyclist
If there is no concrete curb there, driver might drives onto the walkway and people on the walkway might get hurt. Other than this, if there is no concrete curb as a drainage system, there must be flood when raining, the water might stopped at the roadside without flow into the drainage in proper way. It’s very slip, when motocyle or car pass by, the tires can be slip and cause them to lose visibility and ability to brake and stop down, it may causes an accident.

Type Of Concrete Road Curb

i) Basic Curb

That’s very easy to construct basic concrete curb because you don’t have to joint it with gutter, it’s a straight concrete curb. But it’s rarely used it can’t helps to overcome the flood problems, it’s only used in minimal location.

ii) Combined Curb and Gutter

This type of concrete curb is a combination of curb and gutter, the photo above shows that the gutter is used for the water flowing into the drainage system. This is commonly used in driveways everywhere.

iii) Integral Curb

This type of concrete curb are constructed as a part of sidewalk too. As you see in the photo above, the concrete curb is joining concrete sidewalk. Normally it’s cast-in-situ, which mean the concrete curb is constructed on the spot at the site.

iv) Kassel Curb

Kassel curb is purposely constructed for the buses especially in bus stops. Normally the basic concrete curb has a lower level and it’s difficult to passenger to enter the bus which has higher steps. Kassel curb has been raised up to improve accessibility for mobility-impaired passenger.

v) Precast Curb

Of course, there are some precast concrete curb too which is produced in the factory and bring to site whenever there is an usage of relevant concrete curb. Precast concrete curb will be used if the client need a faster completion of work, of course the prices for those precast concrete curb will be slightly higher than cast-in-site curb.
