Power Kerb Stone
Kerb Stone
Power Kerb stones are used to create a raised edge along sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces. Power Kerb Stones are made of Graded Sand, Stone dust, Chips, Cement and other additives in appropriate ratios which makes it durable. Power Kerb Stone acts as a clear visual barrier between the pavement and the adjacent area.
Power Kerb Stone are manufactured with Ultra Multi Hybrid German Based Technology machinery under strict Quality Control under PLC Controlled machine which gives consistency in Quality of Kerb Stones. Power Kerb Stones are important part of road and sidewalk infrastructure.

Steps for laying Power Kerb Blocks
- Prepare the subgrade ensuring that it is compacted and levelled.
- Place a layer of granular sub-base material.
- Compacted bedding layer of mortar or concrete mix along the edge.
- Place the kerb stones onto the bedding layer, ensuring that they are level and aligned properly. Use a rubber mallet or mechanical compactor to tap the stones into place.
- Fill the joints between the kerb stones with mortar or concrete mix, ensuring that they are completely filled and flush with the top of the kerb stones.
- Smooth the surface of the jointing material and clean any excess material from the surface of the kerb stones.
- The area behind the Kerb Stone should be backfilled with soil or other material and compacted to provide stability to the wall.
- Allow the jointing material to cure for the recommended time before allowing any traffic or other loads onto the kerb stones

Safety Procedure while fixing of Kerb Stone
- 1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, safety glasses, hard hats, and safety boots to protect yourself from hazards associated with handling and installing kerb stones.
- 2. Traffic Control: If the installation area is near a roadway, set up proper traffic control measures, such as signs, barricades, or cones to protect workers and alert drivers of the construction activity.
- 3. Lifting and Handling: Use proper lifting techniques and equipment, such as cranes or forklifts, to lift and move the heavy kerb stones. Do not attempt to lift or move kerb stones manually.
- 4. Work Area: Keep the work area clean and free of clutter to avoid tripping hazards. Ensure that there is adequate lighting and ventilation.
- 5. Secure the Kerb Stone: Ensure that the kerb stone is securely in place before jointing or finishing. Kerb stones that are not properly secured can cause injury to workers or the public.
- 6. Tools and Equipment: Use properly maintained and calibrated tools and equipment. Inspect them regularly for damage or wear and replace or repair as necessary.
- 7. Training: Ensure that all workers involved in the installation process have received proper training and are familiar with the safety procedures and protocols.
