SKUAS lays TermiPore porous pipe for factories and warehouses as an under-floor grid before large slabs are cast, and in external trenches around running sheds. The pipe is charged with Envu Premise SC at the IS 6313 dose of 5 L per m² and refilled every 2 to 3 years from perimeter junction boxes, without drilling the floor or moving racks.
In a warehouse, termites do not need to reach the structure to cause a loss. They come up through slab joints, cracks around column bases and gaps at the dock edge, and feed on whatever sits on the floor: corrugated cartons, wooden pallets, paper rolls, packed furniture and dunnage. Stock in the bottom pallet position is often written off before anyone notices mud tubes behind the racking.
Large floors make conventional treatment difficult. Drilling an existing warehouse slab means emptying racks bay by bay, and on a big floor that work drags on while the facility tries to keep running around it. For new sheds and extensions, the floor is the one chance to get a pipe grid under the slab before it is cast. After that, everything has to be done from the perimeter.
Cartons, pallets and paper-based packaging sit directly on the slab in bulk storage and on bottom rack levels. Termites coming up through joints reach that stock before they reach any wood in the building. Losses show up as damaged goods, rejected shipments and insurance questions rather than as structural damage.
Industrial floors are cast in panels with saw-cut and construction joints, plus gaps around columns, pits, drains and dock levellers. Each of these is a route up from the soil. Over a large floor the number of entry points is high, so treatment has to cover the soil under the whole slab, not only the boundary.
Selective racking, mezzanines and bolted machinery make it impractical to clear the floor for drilling. Any treatment that needs floor access across the building means shifting inventory, stopping pick faces and arranging temporary storage, which most operations managers will resist. A method that keeps the floor in use during treatment and refills is far easier to approve.
Factories and logistics parks add sheds, extensions and new bays in phases. Each new slab is an opportunity to lay pipe before casting, and each missed one becomes a block that can only be protected from its perimeter and by drilling later. Without a site-wide plan, protection ends up uneven from one shed to the next.
For new sheds and extensions, we lay a pipe grid under the floor along with the perimeter and internal wall lines, using red-stripe TP125195 under heavy-load zones and keeping it clear of wet concrete.
Plain pipe is led out to junction boxes along the external walls or service roads, at runs no longer than 30 m, so refills never need the forklift aisles or the dock area.
Around existing sheds we lay pipe in a trench along the outer walls and treat inside only where termites are active, bay by bay, in coordination with the warehouse manager.
Installation follows the slab-casting schedule on new work. On running sites, trenching is fitted around shift timings, truck movements and dispatch peaks agreed with the plant manager.
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 SCFactories and warehouses usually need PipeGuard Max, because only the under-floor grid reaches the soil beneath a large slab, and its red-stripe pipe suits heavy-load floors. A small godown in a single shed may manage with PipeGuard Plus.
