METHOD OF STATEMENT FOR ANTI TERMITE

The method statement for anti-termite defines the procedure for the sequence of works for surface
treatments and termite control after leveling/compaction of the filled soil and before
polythene/damp proof membrane is laid, considering all the necessary safety and quality aspects of
the work activities.

Anti-termite treatment is a process in which soil treatment is applied to a building in the early stages
of its construction. The purpose of anti-termite treatment is to provide the building with a chemical
barrier against the sub-terrain termites. The anti-termite treatment being a specialized job, calls for
thorough knowledge of the chemicals, soils, termite to be dealt with and the environmental
conditions, in order to give effective treatment and lasting protection to the property undergoing
treatment. It is therefore imperative that the works of anti-termite treatment should get executed
through specialized agencies only. The pre-constructional soil treatment is required to be applied
during the construction stages (usually under the concrete blindings) of the sub-structure up to the
subbase level.

1. PURPOSE

of works for surface treatments and termite control after leveling/compaction of the filled soil and
before polythene/damp proof membrane is laid, considering all the necessary safety and quality
aspects of the work activities.

2. SCOPE OF WORKS
