SKUAS lays TermiPore porous pipe for builders and developers at plinth stage, along the periphery and every internal wall line, before the floor PCC. We charge it with Envu Premise SC at the IS 6313 dose of 5 litres of emulsion per m², hand over a flow-test log and as-built drawing, and refill every 2 to 3 years without drilling.
For a developer, termites rarely show up while the project is under construction. They tend to appear after possession, as a hollow skirting or a door frame that crumbles in a buyer's hand, and the complaint lands on your customer-care desk with photographs attached. One affected ground-floor flat can turn into a society-wide grievance, and under RERA's defect liability period the builder is expected to respond. A soil treatment poured once at foundation stage wears down over the years, with no way left to top it up.
A reticulation system changes that position. TermiPore pipe goes in once, between plinth filling and the floor PCC, and stays in the soil with its ends brought out to junction boxes on the outer wall or in the parking. Your site team gets a fixed slot per block that fits the pour schedule, and your CRM team gets a documented system that can be recharged after handover without touching any buyer's flooring. That is a far easier conversation than drilling through a new owner's vitrified tiles.
Conventional pre-construction soil treatment is a one-time pour. The chemical in the soil breaks down over the years, and once tiles and skirting are fixed nobody can reach that soil again without drilling. Buyers do not care that the treatment was done correctly in year one; they see termite tubes in year four and call the developer. A system with refill points gives you an answer that does not involve breaking flooring.
On a live site the plinth filling, anti-termite work, plumbing sleeves and PCC are often handled by different agencies within days of each other. If the pipe is laid too early it gets crushed by labour and wheelbarrows; too late and the PCC crew stands waiting. Pipe that touches wet cement can also have its pores sealed, which defeats the purpose of the whole system.
Buyers, bank engineers and the RWA formed after handover increasingly want to see what was done under the slab, by whom, with which chemical and at what dose. A one-line entry in a contractor bill does not answer that. Without a layout and a test record, any future refill team has to guess where the pipe runs and where the ports are.
Subterranean termites enter at the lowest level. Ground-floor flats, clubhouse rooms, guard cabins and stilt-level storerooms produce the first complaints, and they are also where developers often keep sales offices and sample flats during the selling period. Protecting the plinth under these areas properly matters to buyers and to the sales team alike.
Our supervisor works from your site engineer's pour schedule and lays pipe block by block after plinth filling and compaction, so the PCC crew can follow the same day or the next without waiting on us.
We use red-stripe TP125195 in plinth soil and heavy-load zones and green TP125175 elsewhere, keep it off fresh cement, and flag the runs for the PCC crew so the pores are not sealed during the pour.
Every loop is flushed and flow-tested with water before backfill or PCC. Your site engineer signs the test log alongside ours, so the record exists before the pipe disappears under the floor.
After first charging with Premise SC, you receive an as-built drawing of pipe runs and junction box positions, ready to pass to the facility team or RWA along with the refill schedule.
Copy this into your BOQ or tender document and adjust the quantities for your project.
Supply, laying and first charging of anti-termite reticulation system using porous pipe (TermiPore TP125175, 12.5 × 17.5 mm, green stripe, or approved equivalent; TP125195, 12.5 × 19.5 mm, red stripe, in plinth soil and heavy-load areas) along the plinth periphery and all internal wall lines, laid on levelled, compacted plinth filling (sand bed where required) before floor PCC, clear of wet cement. Junction boxes at intervals not exceeding 30 m on the external wall. Each loop to be water flow-tested before covering. First charging with Imidacloprid 30.5% SC (Premise SC) at 2.1 ml per litre, applied at 5 litres of emulsion per m² of floor area as per IS 6313 (Part 2). Measured per m² of plinth area.
The pipe we install
Made in Vadodara, Gujarat, India from a thermoplastic elastomeric compound with a honeycomb micro-pore wall. Termiticide seeps out evenly through micro-pores on all sides, unlike hand-drilled PVC that leaks at a few holes. The manufacturer rates pipe life at 30 to 50 years (manufacturer estimate).
Sizes, specs and how to spot genuine pipe
The chemical we charge it with
Imidacloprid 30.5% SC from Envu (formerly Bayer Environmental Science). It is odourless and non-repellent: termites cannot detect it, carry it back to the nest and pass it on to the colony.
Why we use Premise SCMost residential projects fit PipeGuard Max, because the under-floor grid, pressure and flow test log and as-built drawing give a handover file the documentation it needs. Smaller plotted or builder-floor projects sometimes choose PipeGuard Plus for the boundary and internal wall lines only.
