Kerb Case Study  

Efficient Design for Safe Construction using Precast Concrete Kerbs
Interpave has been actively involved with the Health and Safety Executive’s initiative to reduce respiratory disease. Interpave manufacturer members offer a range of kerb solutions to the HSE requirement for a hierarchical ‘AMC’ approach -

Avoid cutting
Minimise cutting
Control dust generation during cutting

This approach is clearly demonstrated in a Case Study which can be downloaded below.
