What is kerbing & footpaths?

Kerbing defines the edge of a road, protects the surfacing and directs surface water to gullies. Kerbs are bedded and haunched in concrete to a setting-out line and level, with dished kerbs at gullies and dropped kerbs at crossings. Footpaths are then formed on a compacted sub-base with edge restraint. Rayco Civils installs kerbing and footpaths across Ireland.

Kerbing & Footpaths — Frequently Asked Questions

What is kerb haunching?

Haunching is the concrete placed behind and beneath a kerb to hold it in position against traffic loading and the pressure of the adjacent surfacing. Without it kerbs move out of line.

What is a dished kerb?

A dished kerb is a lowered kerb unit set at a gully so surface water can run off the road into the drainage system.

What is required for accessible crossings?

Pedestrian crossing points need dropped kerbs flush with the road surface and appropriate tactile paving, so the crossing is usable by wheelchair users and people with visual impairment.

Do you lay paved as well as concrete footpaths?

Yes. Footpaths are constructed in concrete or in paving on a compacted sub-base with edge restraint, depending on the specification.
