Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for laying a kerb at an edge of a road surface, and relates particularly, but not exclusively, to an apparatus and method for laying a temporary kerb for use during construction work.
  • Preferred embodiments of the present invention seek to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art.
  • an assembly for forming a kerb at an edge of a road surface comprising:-
  • a base kerb and base course of tarmac can be laid whilst site construction work is ongoing.
  • the base kerb can be made of a material which is resistant to damage due to heavy site machinery, such that when the construction work is completed the cover member can be mounted on the base member to form the completed kerb.
  • the top layer of tarmac can then be laid to complete the road.
  • the assembly further comprises at least one intermediate member adapted to be mounted on at least one said base, and comprising a respective third engaging portion for engaging a respective said first engaging portion.
  • this provides the advantage that the intermediate member can be mounted on top of the base member such that it is level with the tarmac surface of the road. This provides the advantage that the base member is protected from site machinery passing over it, and the intermediate member which is designed to be removed once the construction work has been completed takes any damage which may be caused. The intermediate member can then be removed once site construction has been completed allowing the cover member to be positioned on top of the base member to complete the kerb.
  • an upper surface of the or each said intermediate member is adapted to be positioned at substantially the same vertical level as the level of said road surface in use.
  • This provides the advantage of providing a level surface for site machinery to travel across, thus presenting no edges of either the tarmac road surface or intermediate member to which damage can be caused.
  • the upper surface of said base member in use may be adapted to be positioned at a lower vertical level than the level of said road surface in use.
  • said cover member when said cover member is mounted to said base member, said cover member is adapted to project above the vertical level of said road surface.
  • At least one said base member, intermediate member and/or cover member may be formed from durable plastics material.
  • said durable plastics material may be recycled.
  • said plastics material is recycled by a co-mingling process.
  • This provides the advantage of reducing costs as unsorted, mixed and contaminated plastics waste can be used as raw materials for the recycling process.
  • a method of forming a kerb comprising:-
  • the method further comprises:-
  • the step of laying at least one said base member includes laying at least one said base member such that an upper surface of said base member in use is positioned at a lower vertical level than the level of a road surface in use.
  • the step of mounting at least one said intermediate member to at least one said base member may include mounting the intermediate member such that an upper surface of said intermediate member in use is positioned at substantially the same vertical level as a road surface in use.
  • the step of mounting at least one said cover member to said base member includes mounting the or each said cover member such that the or each said cover member projects above the vertical level of said road surface in use.
  • a road comprises a base layer of tarmac 2 covered by a top layer of tarmac 4.
  • a two part kerb assembly shown generally by 6 comprises a base unit 8 and a top unit 10.
  • the kerb assembly 6 is laid between concrete haunching 12 which may form part of a pathway (not shown), and a road formed from tarmac layers 2 and 4.
  • the components of the three part kerb assembly comprise a base unit 8, a top unit 10 and an intermediate protective strip 14.
  • Base unit 8 comprises a connection channel 8a and a connection rib 8b.
  • Both the top unit 10 and protective strip 14 comprise corresponding connection channels 10a, 14a and connection ribs 10b, 14b which are formed such that both the top unit 10 and protective strip 14 can be mounted to the base unit 8.
  • the connection channel 14a and connection rib 14b of protective strip 14 are adapted to resiliently engage the connection channel 8a and connection rib 8b of the base unit 8 such that the protective strip 14 can be easily removed from base unit 8.
  • the base unit 8, top unit 10 and intermediate strip 14 are all formed from a post consumer recycled durable plastics material.
  • the plastic material used to formed the components of the kerb assembly is produced in a co-mingling process.
  • a co-mingling process allows unsorted and unwashed plastic waste products to be used as raw materials for the recycling process thus making the use of this material economically viable.
  • the co-mingled plastic is surprisingly durable enough to be used to form kerb structures for roads and the like. This plastic also has the advantage that it is a lot lighter than prior art concrete kerb assemblies and therefore presents fewer problems relating to the manual handling of the kerb structures.
  • the first step in the construction of a road on a new housing site using the three part kerb assembly is the laying of a plurality of base units 8 to define the edges of a road (not shown).
  • the base units 8 can be levelled such that when the top units 10 are mounted onto the base units the kerb is complete and does not need re-levelling.
  • the second step is to mount a protective strip 14 on each base unit 8.
  • the connection channel 14a and rib 14b of the protective strips 14 are dimensioned such that they resiliently engage the protection channel 8a and rib 8b of each base unit 8 to allow the protection strip 14 to be removed when required.
  • a base layer of tarmac can then be laid on the road surface between the base units 8.
  • concrete haunching 12 can be placed alongside the base unit 8 to provide support.
  • the base units 8 of the kerb assembly are protected by protective strips 14 such that plant machinery moving around the construction site can move across the kerb assembly without damaging the base unit 8 and only damaging the removable protection strips 14.
  • the protection strips 14 can be removed from the base units 8 by simply pulling them off.
  • the base units were levelled in the first step of road construction, it is not necessary to perform a further levelling operation and a plurality of top units 10 can be mounted onto the base unit 8 to complete the kerb. A top layer of finishing tarmac can then be added to the road surface to complete the road.
  • FIG. 5 A second embodiment of the three part kerb assembly is shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • the base unit 16 protective strip 18 and top unit 20 are interconnected by means of a plurality of pegs 22 which are received in respective holes in the assembly members.
  • the protective strip 18 protects a roadside edge of the base member 16.
  • a traditional method of laying a temporary kerb has been to lay bricks in the region where the kerb is to be laid whilst construction work is performed, and then remove the bricks and replace them with kerb stone to complete the kerb. It has been found that this operation generally costs more per metre when all materials and labour costs are taken into account than the method of the present invention. If a co-mingled recycled plastic is used to form the components of the three part kerb assembly then the cost of using this method to form the kerbs is substantially less.
  • the components of the three part assembly may be made from materials other that a co-mingled recycled plastic, for example reinforced concrete. It will also be appreciated that the assembly may be a two part assembly with only the top unit and base unit used and also it will be appreciated that there are other methods for interconnecting the components such as the use of adhesives etc.
