For Anti-termite Reticulation, why should you insist on using pipes specially designed and developed for the purpose of underground installation?

 

Installing underground reticulation system to prevent termites, is soon becoming a norm, given the increasing cost of construction material and labor. It is most logical to proactively protect your expensive interiors by preventing termites rather than act reactively, in response to a termite attack. As we are aware, termites surreptitiously eat away our property and are visible only after inflicting huge damage.

History of Anti-Termite Reticulation Technology:

This system is not a new technology, it is in use since almost 30 years or more. However, initially people used to install normal PVC pipes by manually poking holes in those pipes. These are plumbing pipes, the installation is also often done by plumbers by poking holes randomly and also on one side, only at the top. This does not give a proper flow rate and the chances of blocking are very high. We cannot say for how long will such pipes stay operational underground.

In some years, as more people started installing this system, people also started using irrigation pipes of varying sizes for anti-termite reticulation. Since about 25 years, irrigation pipes are also used for this purpose. Typically, these pipes have 3 – 6 holes/mtr, furthermore the holes are on 1 or 2 sides, not all around the pipe. Another very important point to note is, irrigation pipes are not weight bearing pipes, as they are made for use above ground. The material is not made to withstand the pressure of underground installation, where a lot of weight of construction material will come over it. Flow rate from these pipes is not dependable due to various reasons: (i) the material of these pipes is thin and may squeeze, bend or lock, (ii) it has less holes/mtr so the chances of blocking are high (iii) If PCE is used, then high pressure flushing is also not possible. Furthermore, these pipes need a pressure of 1-2 Kg/cm2, to pump in the termiticide and will take about 40-50 minutes to inject the medicine.

This is where, a research driven company like TermiPore steps in, to solve the issues faced in preventive Anti-Termite Reticulation System. Intensive research and trials were undertaken by TermiPore to develop the right raw material compound to make sturdy, long-lasting pipes suitable for underground use. About 20 years ago, TermiPore not only developed a special weight-bearing elastomeric compound, but also designed the pipe in different sizes with holes 100-150 microholes/mtr all around the circumference & across the entire pipe length.  TermiPore pipes are hard and have high thickness. As a result, they do not squeeze or get blocked. These pipes are designed as per ATR requirement. TermiPore Reticulation System needs a pressure of 0.25 Kg/cm2 to pump the termiticides and it takes only 15-20 minutes to inject the medicine.

Difference in flow rate when distributing termiticides using PVC, Drip Irrigation and TermiPore Pipe can be seen in Pic 1.


At TermiPore we believe in strict quality control. Every pipe roll is tested before dispatch. Not just that, TermiPore is the only known lab-tested brand, assuring the efficacy of its various attributes.

Termipore Installation: Is it Better at Plinth Level or After PCC?

Image
  When it comes to termite protection, proper installation timing is crucial for long-lasting results. One of the common questions that we are often asked is: When to install Termipore; at Plinth Level or after Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) has been laid? Read on for a quick overview. Each stage in the construction process offers benefits for termite treatment, and understanding those benefits will give an insight into when to schedule TermiPore installation, so as to achieve maximum effectiveness. Understanding the Key Stages in Construction Before diving into the specifics of Termipore installation, it is important to have a basic understanding of the key stages involved in the foundation of a building: 1. Plinth Level: This is the stage where the foundation is being prepared and the structure is ready to rise above ground. The plinth is the part of the building just above the ground level and typically marks the transition from underground construction to above-ground s...
