Concrete Kerbs
Concrete kerb and channel is a vital component of road infrastructure, delineating clear zones for the pedestrian footpath, on-road parking, drainage for stormwater runoff and the trafficable road surface. In civil construction, roadside kerbing profiles are commonly referred to as barrier or semi-mountable, which describes whether or not the kerbing has been designed to allow vehicles to encroach on the nature strip.
Though concrete kerb and channel is typically installed in-situ by professional kerbing contractors, SVC offers a range of precast kerb products that are used for other roadside applications. These include concrete kerb lintels, which allow rainwater to enter the drainage system; precast exposed aggregate kerbs, commonly used to create traffic medians in the City of Melbourne; spiked kerbs, used to construct traffic islands; and wheel stops, which provide physical deterrents in car parks.
All precast kerb products by SVC are locally manufactured in Melbourne, made in compliance with the relevant Council and DTP standards and specifications. Being prefabricated, the kerbs achieve higher strength characteristics than conventional concrete that is poured on-site.

Concrete kerb lintels are part of the road kerb system and are somewhat related to in-situ channel kerb, as they form part of the drainage system that collects stormwater runoff from the road. Barrier-type and semi-mountable-type kerb lintels are available from SVC, with 50+ lintel options available to suit the varying design specifications of VicRoads and Victorian LGAs.
SVC offers precast concrete kerb units in a 300×200 barrier profile that are designed specifically for use within the City of Melbourne. Unlike standard concrete kerbing which has a smooth finish, our Melbourne metropolitan kerbs feature a textured exposed aggregate finish characterised by visible fragments of bluestone. Kerb units are available in 1m lengths and are typically used to create traffic median strips or raised footpaths. A variety of radial kerbs are also available in this range, allowing the creation of corners and curves within the kerbing design.
Spiked kerbs and wheel stops exhibit a standard off-mould concrete finish and are affixed to the ground using kerb spikes. They are typically used to create traffic islands or wheel deterrents in car parks. A selection of straight and radial options enables multiple different configurations to be produced.
