For government and PSU works, SKUAS supplies and lays TermiPore porous pipe along plinth and internal wall lines and charges it with Envu Premise SC at the IS 6313 Part 2 dose of 5 L emulsion per m². Junction boxes allow refills every 2 to 3 years without drilling, and every stage is documented for measurement and audit.
Public works are measured, checked and audited long after the contractor has left. An anti-termite item in a government or PSU building has to match the tender wording, be measurable in the bill, and stand up when the engineer-in-charge or an audit team asks how much chemical went into which block. Reticulation adds one more question: how will the department carry out refills over the life of the building without a fresh tender for drilling work.
We work as the specialist agency, whether the job reaches us through the main contractor or directly from the client department. Our role is to make the item easy to specify, execute and measure: clear specification text, pipe sizes chosen by zone, flow tests witnessed before covering, and a record set that fits a measurement book and a completion file without rework.
Some tenders ask for a standard mark on reticulation pipe, although no IS standard exists for reticulation pipes. Others specify a pipe without junction box spacing or flow testing, or give a dose without linking it to floor area. Ambiguous wording leads to deviation requests, delays in make approval and disputes at billing.
Reticulation can be measured per running metre of pipe, per m² of plinth area or per junction box. If the tender does not say which, the contractor and the department can arrive at very different bills for the same work. The mode of measurement needs to be fixed in the specification, with drawings to support it.
Departments expect a paper trail: make approval, delivery challans, test records, chemical issue and consumption, and photographs at each stage. Missing records hold up final bills and make future refill contracts harder to frame, since nobody can say where the loops run or how much emulsion each one took at first charging.
A pipe system only stays useful if it is recharged every 2 to 3 years. In public buildings, maintenance often passes to a different division after completion. Unless junction box locations and refill quantities are recorded, the next team has no basis to plan, estimate or tender that work, and the system sits unused in the ground.
We provide draft specification wording covering make or approved equivalent, sizes by zone, junction box spacing, testing and mode of measurement, so the item can be executed exactly as written.
Pipe runs are laid as per approved drawings and every loop is flow-tested with water before covering, with the engineer-in-charge or a representative invited to witness and sign.
Premise SC containers, dilution at 2.1 ml per litre and emulsion quantity per block are recorded at each charging, so consumption can be checked against the IS 6313 dose for the floor area.
At completion the department receives the as-built drawing, test logs, chemical records and refill quantities per loop, so the maintenance division can plan and estimate future refills.

Supply, laying, testing and first charging of anti-termite reticulation system using porous thermoplastic elastomeric pipe (TermiPore TP125175, 12.5 × 17.5 mm, or approved equivalent; TP125195, 12.5 × 19.5 mm, 3.5 mm wall, in plinth soil and heavy-load areas), laid on a levelled bed of soil or sand along the plinth periphery and all internal wall lines before floor PCC, kept clear of wet cement, with junction boxes at intervals not exceeding 30 m. Each loop to be water flow-tested in the presence of the engineer-in-charge before covering. First charging with Imidacloprid 30.5% SC at 2.1 ml/L, 5 L emulsion per m² of floor area as per IS 6313 (Part 2). Pipe measured per running metre; charging 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 SCGovernment and PSU buildings usually align with PipeGuard Max, since the under-floor grid, pressure and flow test log and as-built drawing match what a completion file needs. The SKUAS written warranty of up to 10 years under Max depends on an AMC for refills, which the department can tender separately.
