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

Yes, SVC's driveable endwalls are manufactured in compliance with the requirements of VicRoads SD 1991A (Type 1).

Standard headwalls and endwalls typically do not accommodate vehicular loading, and have wingwalls that fan out on either side to prevent soil erosion. In contrast, a driveable endwall features a sloped profile with parallel walls that are laterally braced with galvanised steel tubing. This gives them the required additional strength to be safely exposed to vehicular traffic loads.

It's used at the end of a drainage pipe, typically where it passes under a driveway or access track. Made with high-strength reinforced concrete and galvanised steel bars for additional bracing, driveable endwalls are designed to accommodate vehicular loading in trafficked areas.

As per DTP/VicRoads Standard Drawing SD 1631, SVC flushout risers can accommodate 100 or 150mm dia agi pipes. SVC batter outlets are produced with a pre-fitted PVC pipe collar at 100mm dia.

Using compliant subsoil accessories is critical for project sign-off, especially for DTP-owned road infrastructure assets where compliance with government regulations and standards are essential. Non-compliant components can compromise the integrity of the entire drainage system, and have a high likelihood of being rejected by road authority inspectors.

Subsoil accessories are essential fittings used at the commencement and termination of underground drains within a subsoil drainage system. Single and double flushout risers provide surface access to the start of an underground drain run. Single and double batter outlets are used as a termination point, providing an outlet for the safe discharge of stormwater onto a sloped site, also helping to prevent embankment erosion.

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.

SVC's range of kerb, gully and V grates are bike-safe and manufactured in compliance with AS 3996:2019 in Load Class D, making them applicable for safe, compliant usage in various municipalities. Certain kerb grates (B2, SM2 and SM2 modified) are accepted for use in EDCM applications (i.e. new growth areas and subdivisions).

Standard kerb grates are not suitable for VicRoads applications. Please refer to our VicRoads Grates page for DTP-compliant grates designed to suit the specifications of VicRoads SD 1322, 1411, 1431 and 1441.
