| It is very important to make sure that the contractor responsible for curb construction understands curb cut designs and elevations. This is often a new technique for contractors, and they may not understand the overall concept of water in the gutter line being directed behind the gutter.<br>
| |
|
| |
| '''Construction Steps:'''
| |
| #Place the right forms (rolled curve vs standard) in the inlet location.
| |
| #Pour concrete.
| |
| #Shape the inlet
| |
| #Add the river stone on top of the fresh concrete (if applicable)
| |
| #Provide sufficient curing time, according to CSA standard A23.1-09.

| '''Key Inspection Points:'''
| |
| *Use of proper curb form by sub-contractor.
| |
| *Curb type aligns with design.
| |
| *Curb cut location, type and dimension aligns with design.
| |
| *Designated concrete wash out is in place and away from LID facility.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mistakes to Avoid:<br>'''
| |
| *Elevated curb cuts and reverse slopes (sloping from back of curb towards instead of depressing from gutter line towards the back).
| |
| *Wrong curb cut width size.
| |
| *Use of wrong curb form.
| |
| *Concrete wash out within or upstream of LID facility.
| |
| *Ensure curb granular base (granular A) does not spill over into LID infiltration area. If material spills over, remove as best as possible while still maintaining the 2:1 slope for curbing
| |
| *Lack of communication to concrete contractor or ready-mix driver explaining the function and importance of protecting the LID feature.
