How Does Dropped Kerb Installation Work?

As the leading groundwork company, we deliver innovative, customised solutions that seamlessly serve both commercial ventures and residential projects:

  • Initial Site Assessment: Experienced contractors first assess the site for a proposed crossing. They evaluate the pavement, kerb, driveway, pavement levels, and surrounding ground conditions.
  • Checking Highway Requirements: Our licenced professionals help identify applicable Highway requirements. Before any physical work, we check the required permissions.
  • Preparing the Work Area: The existing pavement and kerb are carefully marked and prepared. The appropriate construction methods provide a suitable foundation for the crossing.
  • Lowering the Existing Kerb: The existing kerb is either removed or adjusted as needed. The kerbs are then strategically placed by the specialists to provide access for vehicles.
  • Preparing the Crossing: The roadway, or pavement, under the crossing is prepared and reinforced after engineers evaluate the required levels and structural considerations.
  • Creating the New Surface: The crossing surface links the road to the driveway. Our installers use appropriate techniques to create a seamless, functional transition.
  • Managing Drainage: The new crossing needs to be compatible with existing drainage solutions. Sufficient depth removes water pooling around the access point.
  • Final Inspection: The completed crossing is then checked for placement and completion. A certified professional ensures you get the desired results from the finished work.
