SVC’s selection of VicRoads Kerb Lintels are manufactured in compliance with the requirements of the Victorian Department of Transport, providing reliable, durable solutions for roadside stormwater drainage.
These heavy-duty precast kerb lintels are resistant to traffic loads and available to suit both barrier-type and semi-mountable kerbing profiles. They are easily installed and compatible with SVC’s range of complementary VicRoads pits, covers and grates, enabling a full packaged solution.
Yes, VicRoads kerb lintels have their own dimensional and structural requirements that typically differ from those used by local councils. For example, the rebate behind the kerb lintel is typically 70-100mm deep for council kerb lintels, but is 125mm deep for VicRoads kerb lintels.
Ensuring you use the correctly specified product is essential - contact the SVC team if you require assistance with your specification.
Your civil engineering plans should specify the required VicRoads Standard Drawing number that relates to the correct kerb lintel. Factors that affect the specification include the required length of the kerb lintel and the on-site kerbing profile, i.e. barrier-type or semi-mountable.
If needed, the SVC team can provide assistance with matching VicRoads Standard Drawings to the correct product.
Yes - SVC offers a number of VicRoads-specific kerb lintels that are manufactured in compliance with VicRoads Standard Drawings, making them the approved product for these applications.
Applicable Standard Drawings include: SD 1061 / 1271 / 1272 / 1281 / 1282 / 1301 / 1321 / 1322
To confirm which kerb lintel is required for your project, best practice is to consult the asset owner. Local councils and VicRoads have publicly available standard drawings that denote the specific dimensions and requirements of kerb lintels to be used in their jurisdiction.
If the kerb lintel is being used in an off-road or privately-owned project and does not require compliance with council or VicRoads, customers can select whichever option is best suited for their project.
Variations in kerb lintels include the overall length of the unit, the width of the throat opening, the kerbing profile (B or SM-type), and whether it has legs or is a beam only.
A kerb lintel is a precast concrete beam installed within the kerb and channel over a side entry stormwater pit. It captures stormwater collected from the road via a central opening or throat, diverting it into the local drainage network.
Kerb lintels, sometimes referred to as overflow kerbs, are available in various styles that are specific to the council or kerbing profile on-site. Each unit provides structural support for the kerb and gutter while allowing stormwater to flow into the pit.
