Curb and Gutter in West Palm Beach, FL
Concrete curb and gutter are critical components that are installed along the perimeter of roads and parking lots. They serve a crucial purpose in defining the parking lot’s edges, holding the pavement in place, and acting as a “barrier” that prevents pavement expansion and deterioration. The hidden part of the curb and gutter is about eight inches thick and forms an extremely strong barrier beneath the surface.
In most parking lots, drainage patterns are designed to flow through the “gutter pans” of the curb and gutter. Unlike asphalt, concrete can be precisely placed, even on relatively level lots, allowing for efficient drainage. Installing curb and gutter is the initial step in the parking lot construction process, and it is carried out to strict tolerances. The asphalt is then laid, sloping toward the curb and gutter, which enables water to flow to the catch basin or other exit point.
