Curb Construction Backfilling
Curbs should be carefully backfilled as soon as they have enough strength to resist displacement and damage from the operations of grading and compacting. Backfilling protects the front and backsides of curbs, provides damp earth to supplement curing or other protective measures, and protects curbs and new pavements from undercutting by runoff. If rainfall is expected soon after curbs are constructed, it is advisable to protect the backs of curbs with temporary berming or diversion channels to avoid undercutting that is difficult to repair or may even lead to failure of new curb sections.
