New building termite protection

Why Protect a New Building During Construction?

Western Australia is regarded as an area where subterranean termites may present a potential risk to buildings. Where a new building contains primary building elements susceptible to termite attack, the National Construction Code requirements may require an appropriate termite management system.

Planning termite protection before and during construction also allows vulnerable areas such as slab penetrations, joints, cavities and perimeter areas to be addressed while they are still accessible.

Pre-construction treatment options

Pre-Construction Termite Protection Options

Termite protection can be planned during construction to address vulnerable areas of a new building and help reduce the risk of concealed termite entry.

01

Under-Slab Termite Treatment

Depending on the selected termite management system, treatment may be installed beneath or around slab areas before construction progresses. The objective is to reduce the risk of concealed termite access through vulnerable areas of the structure.

02

Physical Termite Barriers

Physical termite management systems can be installed around selected building elements, joints and service penetrations during construction to restrict concealed termite entry and make termite activity easier to detect.

Current WA government technical guidance discusses physical barrier systems around slabs, cavities, joints and penetrations as part of pre-construction termite management.
03

Chemical Termite Barriers

Where suitable, a termiticide treatment may be applied to relevant soil areas to form part of the termite management system. Product selection and application depend on the building design, site conditions and treatment specification.

04

Termite Reticulation Systems

Reticulation systems can be incorporated during construction to allow future replenishment of suitable chemical treatment zones without repeatedly drilling finished surfaces.

WA's current technical guidance specifically notes that reticulated systems can allow future reapplication of termiticides under slabs and around building perimeters.
05

Pipe & Service Penetration Protection

Plumbing and service penetrations through slabs can create potential termite access points. Suitable collars, barriers or other approved systems may form part of the overall termite management design.
