PDS ‘Envirokerb'
Combined Kerb Drainage
Over the past few years the use of Combined Kerb Drainage has grown rapidly, with engineers appreciating the advantages offered over the traditional gully and pipe drainage systems, for car parks and carriageways.
Envirokerb is a revolutionary combined kerb drainage system.
Envirokerb is made from recycled plastic composite material.
Envirokerb is extremely lightweight being some 70% lighter than conventional concrete or polyester concrete equivilant, yet is strong and robust.
Envirokerb is available in 305mm and 480mm high units to half battered HB1 profile, and has a full range of components including droppers, centre stones, inspection and gully units, radius kerbs etc.
Envirokerb has 3 inlets in the face of the kerb unit, offering better hydraulic performance, and enabling surface water to drain more quickly from the carriageway.
Envirokerb is a one-piece unit 500mm long, with a high-impact resistance and has a positive interlock between all components.
Envirokerb is resistant to most forms of effluents found in highway situations, and has a finish in common with standard concrete kerbs.'
