Stainless Steel Kerbing For Impact Protection

A snack manufacturer required impact protection for a busy processing area where pallet trucks were causing damage to walls. We surveyed, designed, manufactured and installed 50 metres of stainless steel clip-on kerbing. The project was delivered in one week, providing a hygienic and strong impact resistant solution.

Project Overview

A leading UK snacks manufacturer approached Aqualine by Alway to resolve a persistent issue in one of their high-traffic process areas. The walls along the production floor were being damaged by frequent pallet truck impact, creating maintenance challenges and compromising hygiene standards.

Our client needed a durable, hygienic, and easy-to-clean kerbing solution that would not only protect the walls but also create a sealed floor-to-wall transition suitable for a food-grade environment.

Our solution

Following a site survey by our specialist team, we recommended and supplied our Grade 316 Stainless Steel Clip-On Kerb – AQC3. This product was chosen for its superior corrosion resistance, impact protection, and food-safe finish – ideal for wet-wash and high-hygiene environments such as snack and food production facilities.

Key steps of the project included:

  • Site survey & design – Assessed traffic flow and wall impact points to ensure precise kerb placement.

  • Manufacture – Custom-fabricated the AQC3 stainless steel kerbing to match the site’s specifications.

  • Installation – Installed approximately 50 m of clip-on stainless steel kerb, including floor sawing and resin jointing to achieve a fully sealed, hygienic finish.

  • Turnaround – Completed the entire project within just 1 week, minimising disruption to production.

Results & benefits

The newly installed stainless steel kerbing provides long-term protection for the process area walls, preventing further damage from pallet trucks while creating a fully sealed, easy-to-clean floor-to-wall transition that enhances hygiene compliance.

 

We delivered this project with a fast turnaround to minimise disruption to operations. Providing a durable, long-term protection system designed to withstand heavy traffic and routine wash-downs, helping the client maintain a safe, hygienic, and efficient working environment.
