Method Statement for Anti-termite

Treatment
One important activity on site is the application of Anti-termite. By the
way, this is always written in the specification.

This activity shall be done before the Blinding Works. But before we
submit a Method Statement for this activity to the Engineer we
should first read again the specification in order to comply with the
specific requirements being written on it.

Here is the Method Statement for Anti-termite Treatment.

1. Title
Method Statement for Anti-termite Treatment

2. Purpose and scope


1. The scope of the work is a proper way of Anti-termite Treatment
( vertically and horizontally ) with the use of (approved Anti-
termite Material ) on all concrete in contact with the soil.
3. Work Procedure for this Method Statement
1. Preliminary Activities
 Properly coordinate with the concerned party or main
contractor on how the process will be done with regards to
application scheduling and area preparation.
 Coordinate and confirmation of people’s site access. And the
water source accessibility on site.
 The Method Statement ( MS ), Material Safety Data Sheet
( MSDS ), and Material Approval Request ( MAR) must be
on hand with the QA/QC Engineer before the
commencement of the work.
2. Preconstruction Activities
 Remove all wooden pieces, concrete debris, plastic strips,
tree stump roots, deleterious materials, etc.
 The soil shall be leveled and compacted if in case the bottom
of the blinding before treatment starts.
 All construction-related tests shall be approved by the
Engineer prior to treatment.
3. Construction Activities
 Under PCC of Foundation
 After the advice of the Engineer to proceed, the application
shall immediately begin by first preparing and mixing the
solutions of Approved Anti-termite material diluted with water
at a rate of 1:49 Liter water as per manufacturer’s
recommendation.
 A solution of approved Anti-termite material diluted with water
at a rate of 1:49 Liter shall be sprayed prior to casting of
blinding of footing or any foundation type with the application
rate of 4 to 5 liter per square meter.
 The treated area shall then be covered with a polythene
sheet, it can be opened free until 2 hours, and then casting
can be started. Casting must be completed by 2 to 24 hours
after the Anti-termite application.

 Trench Around the Foundation Wall


 Backfill the sides up to the top level of the proposed
foundation ( considering that the height of the foundation will
exceed more than 1 meter ).
 Make a trench with 150mm width by a 150mm depth along
the perimeter of the foundation.
 A solution of Approved Anti-termite material diluted with
water at a rate of 1:49 Liter shall be sprayed with an
application rate of 5 -6 Liter per linear meter int the trench
along the perimeter of the foundation.
 The trench shall be backfilled within 24 hours of treatment.
 Under PCC of Tie Beam
 A solution of Approved Anti-termite material diluted with
water at a rate of 1:49 Liter shall be sprayed prior to the

Liter square meter.
 The treated area must be immediately covered by polythene
sheet, it can be uncovered for 2 hours before casting. And
casting must be completed by 2 to 24 hours after the Anti-
termite application.

 Underground Concrete Slab and Along the Side of the


Beams
 The trench shall be constructed with a measure of 150mm by
a 150mm depth along the perimeter of the tie beams.
 A solution of the Approved Anti-termite material diluted with
water at a rate of 1:49 Liter will be sprayed prior to ground
slab casting with the application rate of 4 to 5 per square
meter.
 With the same solution of Approved Anti-termite material,
apply 5 to 6 Liter per linear meter into the trench along the
perimeter of the tie beams. Backfill the trench after letting the
termiticide subside within 2 hours. The backfilling must be
done within 2 to 24 hours after the anti-termite application.
 Along the Outside Perimeter of the Building
 Make a trench, 150mm in width and 150mm in-depth, along
with the external perimeter of the building at the same level
of the landscape.
 A solution of Approved Anti-termite material diluted with
water at a rate of 1:49 Liter will be sprayed into the trench
along the external perimeter of the building with an
application rate of 5 to 6 Liter per linear meter.
 Backfill the trench within 2 to 24 hours after the treatment.
