b) Before soil treatment will be carried out, the ground water table will be
checked. Excavation of trial holes of more than 0.5 metres deep measured
from the level of the soil to be treated will be done. As required by DOE, no
treatment is to be carried out if the ground water table is 0.5 m or less below
of soil to be treated.
c) This chemical preparation shall be carried out within a kerbed area under a
roof with no outlet to the lake, open drains or public sewer. The waste water
containing the chemical shall not be discharged into the lake, septic tank or
open drain.

4.3

Time of Application
a)

Lean concrete shall be laid immediately

after chemical has been applied on the
hardcore as to avoid exposure to weather.

b)

Application of chemical should spray on

hard surfaces of hardcore or sand blinding
prior to concrete casting.

c)

After completion of applying chemical, PVC

sheet have to provide to cover up treated
area as to avoid exposure to sun heated
and rain wash in case occurred of
concreting may delay.

d)

Immediately after the soil treatment is

completed, the treated soil shall be
securely covered with black polyethylene
sheet. The layer of lean concrete shall be
cast on top of the sheet.

e)

After completion of applying chemical pest

control operator will let the site
supervisor/consultant to sign and certify on
the job sheet provided by pest control
operator.

Allocation Equipment
Pest control operator must be provided full range of equipment for the job.

4.4

Temporary Drainage
The provision of temporary drainage will be provided of adequate capacity
around the whole area to be treated within an outlet to a sump.

4.5

Sampling
The examination/quality control sampling.

4.6

Storage

Method of Applying Anti Termite Soil Treatment (4 Stages)

(a)

Spraying of surfaces of pile cap and ground beam trenches.

(b)

Spraying of surfaces below the floor-slab area after laying of hardcore

and prior to the final concreting stage.

(c)

Spraying of surfaces below apron / terraces and area within 2 meters

perimeter beyond the edge of external building wall unless adjoining
structures render this impossible.

(d)

Power spray at any soil surfaces or areas through which termite

infestation is likely to occur and as directed by client/clients
representative.

Method of Applying Anti Termite Soil Treatment (2 stages)

(a) Spraying of surfaces below the floor-slab area after laying of hardcore and
prior to the final concreting stage.
(b) Spraying of surfaces below apron / terraces and area within 2 meters
