HOW TO LAY SCAN KERB

The installation of Scan Kerb is both a cost effective and rapid process of laying kerbs in a variety of applications. Unlike traditional kerb systems, Scan Kerb can be adhered to any existing road, cycleway or car park surface. This prevents the need for costly excavation and plant hire, thereby reducing the duration of the project and installation costs significantly

1. PREPARATION

The surface of the highway should be swept with a broom to remove any large particles

2. MARKING OUT

Mark the highway with a line to show where the Scan kerb is to be laid using a wax road marker for the radius and a string line for straight lines.

3. SCAN KERB INSTALLATION

Scan Kerbs are supplied with a rubber asphalt based adhesive applied to the underside of the units. *Scan Coat adhesive is applied by hand roller to the area of the highway that the kerbs are to be adhered to and left to dry. In warm dry conditions the kerbs can be laid straight onto the applied coating of Scan Coat and the kerb coating will flux to the ground securing the unit. In wet or generally inclement conditions the surface to which the kerb is to be applied should be dried using a gas torch with a mouth piece of at least 50mm. The base of the kerb should be heated until "tacky" using the same sized gas torch. The kerbs may then be put in place. * One litre of Scan Coat will usually be enough to lay 15 linear metres of Scan Kerb. The quantity required is dependant on the air temperature and porosity of the laying surface.

4. SCAN KERB BASE ADJUSTMENT

Additional sections of Scan Strip should be placed onto the Scan Coat laying strip prior to the heating process where the highway is uneven, to ensure optimum adhesion and evenness along the full length of each kerb unit.

5. KERB ALIGNMENT

The kerbs should be aligned using a long wooden handled tool or rubber maul to prevent damage to the kerb face.
