B. Treatment sequence:

a) Soil Treatment:

Treating the soil beneath the building and around the foundations with a soil insecticide is
a preventive measure. The purpose of treatment is to create the barrier between the ground
from where termites come and wood work or other cellulosic materials in the buildings.
The chemical emulsions Lindane 20 EC/Chlorpyrifos shall be applied uniformly at the
prescribed rate in all the stage of treatment.

b) Treatment for RCC Foundations:

In the case of RCC foundations, the concrete is dense being a 1:2:4 (cement: fine
aggregates: coarse aggregates, by volume) mix or richer, the termites are unable to
penetrate it, it is therefore, unnecessary to start the treatment from the bottom of
excavations. The treatment shall start at a depth of 500 mm below the ground level except
when such ground level is raised or lowered by filling or cutting after the foundations have
been cast. In such cases, the depth of 500 mm shall be determined from the new soil level
resulting from the filling or cutting mentioned above, and soil in immediate contact with
the vertical surfaces of RCC foundations shall be treated at the rate of 7.5 I/m2.

c) Treatment of Top Surface of Plinth Filling:

The top surface of the consolidated earth within plinth walls shall be treated with chemical
emulsion at the rate of 5 l/m2 of the surface before the sand bed or sub-grade is laid. If the
filled earth has been well rammed and the surface does not allow the emulsion to seep
through, holes up to 50 to 75 mm deep at 150 mm centres both ways maybe made with 12
mm diameter mild steel rod on the surface to facilitate saturation of the soil with the
chemical emulsion.

d) Treatment at Junction of the Wall and the Floor:

Special care shall be taken to establish continuity of the vertical chemical barrier on inner
wall surface from ground level (where it had stopped with the treatment described in 7.2.2)
up to the level of the filled earth surface. To achieve this, a small channel 30 mm x 30 mm
shall be made at all the junctions of wall and columns with the floor (before laying the
sub-grade) the rod holes made in the channel up to the ground level 150 mm apart and the
iron rod moved backward and forward to break up the earth and chemical emulsion poured
along the wall at the rate of 7.5 l/m2 of vertical wall or column surface so as to soak the
soil right to the bottom. The soil should be tamped back into place after the operation.

BUILDINGS

e) Treatment of Soil along External Perimeter of Building:

After the building is complete, the earth along the external perimeter of the building should
be rodded at intervals of 150 mm and to a depth of 300 mm. The rods should be removed
backward and forward parallel to the wall to break up the earth and chemical emulsion
poured along the wall at the rate of 7.51 l/sqm of vertical surfaces. After the treatment, the
earth should be tamped back into place. The earth outside the building should be graded
and treatment should be carried out on completion of building. In the event of filling more
than 300 mm, the external perimeter treatment shall extend to the full depth of filing upto
ground level so as to ensure continuity of the chemical barrier.

f) Treatment of Soil Surrounding Pipes, Wastes and Conduits:

When pipes, wastes and conduits enter the soil inside the area of foundations, soil
surrounding the point of entry shall be loosened around each such pipe, waste or conduit
for a distance of 150 mm and to a depth of 75 mm before treatment is commenced. When
they enter the soil external to the foundations, they shall be similarly treated at a distance
of over 300 mm unless they stand clear of the walls of the building by about 75mm.

C. Quality procedure

a) Ensure emulsion shall be mixed as per manufacturer recommendation

b) Ensure necessary testing/checking shall be done as per ITP
c) Ensure material is delivered in sealed containers for use at site.
