Kerbs.
Carriageway edge. Cast to last the road.
Precast concrete kerb units to BS EN 1340 — half-batter HB2 and HB3, bullnose, splay and quadrant profiles. Class 1 abrasion, Class 3 weathering, HB44.5 highways loading per DMRB CD 532. Cast in C40/50 concrete to BS 8500-1:2023, manufactured to harmonised BS EN standards. Catalogue lead time 2–3 weeks.
An HB2 half-batter kerb cast to BS EN 1340 sits at 125 mm × 255 mm × 915 mm (5in × 10in × 3ft), takes HB44.5 highways loading on a 150 mm (6in) C32/40 backing, and holds the carriageway edge true to the setting-out for the design life of the road.
Straights, quadrants, transitions, splays and Kassel-profile units cast in-house at the Holsworthy yard. Send the kerbline GA, we set out the run.

Common questions
What people ask about kerbs.
Five questions we answer most weeks. If yours is not here, ring the yard.
What standard do your kerbs meet? +
BS EN 1340:2003 — concrete kerb units. Class 1 abrasion resistance, Class 3 weathering, Class 1 bending strength as standard. Cast in C40/50 concrete to BS 8500-1:2023, with reinforcement designed to Eurocode 2. Manufactured under factory production control to BS EN 13369. Conformity documentation available on request.
Can they take HB44.5 highways loading? +
Yes — our HB2 and HB3 half-batter kerbs are designed for HB44.5 highways loading per DMRB CD 532, set on a Class S granular bed with C32/40 backing concrete to a minimum 150mm (6in). The HB3 profile is the standard for trunk-road and A-road work where heavier wheel loads occur regularly.
Do you cast quadrants and transitions? +
Yes — quadrant external-angle units, transition kerbs from full-height to dropped, splay units for crossovers and bespoke radius units to your setting-out drawing are all cast in-house. Send the kerbline GA and we will set out the run with named pieces — straights, transitions, drops, quadrants — so the gangs install kit-of-parts on site.
What about Kassel kerbs for bus stops? +
We supply Kassel-profile kerbs to TfL standard detail for bus-stop and bus-lane boarding edges. The 180mm (7in) Kassel face gives the bus driver a tight visual reference and provides level boarding for accessibility. Cast on order — talk to engineering with the location and bus-route specification.
What is the lead time? +
Catalogue HB2, HB3 and bullnose kerbs ship in 2 to 3 weeks. Bespoke radii, transitions and Kassel units run 4 to 6 weeks. Highways orders are batched around possession dates — give us the works programme early.
