Concrete Kerbs & Gutters

For information on Concrete Kerbs and Gutters, look under this Yellow Pages® heading. Concrete is a substance that is semi-liquid in its initial state, but forms into a very hard surface once it dries or cures. That being said, it is an excellent material for things such as kerbs or gutters, as the surface itself is relatively waterproof once dry, with the exception of cracks if they should occur by weathering over time. That being said, kerbs or gutters might require repairs over time, but generally will provide a surface that is more than capable of acting as a water drainage system.

You might find a variety of different kerbs or gutters in your local area. Of course the most popular of these would probably be the kerbs on a street, which allow the sidewalk, if one should be present, to sit higher than the street itself. Gutters can be used on a larger scale, for example to transport water from a lake or river to an area several miles (or even several hundred miles) away. Still another use of this type of drainage system could be for a sewer. Again, this is used to carry water in many forms to a specific location, but also serves as a means of preventing flooding, etc.

Concrete can be used for literally endless uses. As mentioned earlier, it’s remarkably hard surface capabilities allow it to be used frequently for many things, such as transporting water. The material itself is made from a variety of substances to include aggregate, sand, etc.; and is mixed with water to activate.
