We specialise in concrete kerbing for new bitchumen driveways in Greater Sydney
Concrete kerbing refers to the process of installing concrete borders or edges along driveways, roads, or paths to define the boundaries and provide structural support. Bitumen driveways, on the other hand, involve using bituminous materials (often referred to as asphalt) for surfacing driveways due to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
Concrete Kerbing:
- Purpose: Concrete kerbs are primarily used to contain and direct the flow of water along roadways and driveways, preventing erosion and damage.
- Types: There are different types of concrete kerbing such as integral kerbs (formed during initial construction) and precast kerbs (manufactured off-site and installed later).
- Installation: Typically involves excavation, formwork installation, concrete pouring, finishing, and curing. It requires skilled labor and specialized equipment.
Bitumen Driveways:
- Materials: Bitumen driveways are made from a mix of bitumen (a viscous black mixture of hydrocarbons) and aggregate materials (like gravel or crushed rock).
- Advantages: They are known for their durability, flexibility (which reduces cracking), and relatively low maintenance compared to other materials.
- Installation: Involves preparing the base, applying a bitumen binder, and then compacting layers of aggregate on top. This process ensures a smooth and durable surface.
Combining concrete kerbing with a bitumen driveway is common practice to provide both functional and aesthetic benefits. The concrete kerbing adds a neat boundary that enhances the appearance and longevity of the driveway by containing the bitumen surfacing and providing structural support.
