Porous Pipe Termite Reticulation System – Advanced Termite Protection
The Porous Pipe Termite Reticulation System is a revolutionary solution for protecting buildings from termite infestations. Designed to be installed under concrete slabs or flooring before construction, this system ensures a uniform and long-lasting anti-termite barrier that safeguards your home or building for decades.
What is a Porous Pipe Reticulation System?
The porous pipe system is a network of underground, flexible, perforated pipes (rubberized membrane) that distributes termite treatment chemicals evenly throughout the building’s foundation. By creating a continuous chemical barrier, it prevents termites from entering your home from the soil or surrounding areas, providing robust protection for new constructions.
The Porous Pipe Reticulation System is a highly effective termite shield for modern buildings, providing uniform, long-lasting protection without disturbing daily life. By addressing potential installation and maintenance challenges proactively, homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their property is safe from termite damage for decades.
Advantages of Porous Pipe Termite Treatment
Special 16 mm perforated pipes are laid along the internal periphery and center of the floor in a grid pattern (every 5 feet).
Pipes are installed before the sand bed or flooring materials, such as tiles or marble, are laid.
Emitters in the pipes distribute termiticide at a pre-calculated, uniform rate, ensuring every part of the flooring is protected.
2. Refilling and Junction Points:
Pipes connect to junction boxes (refilling points) placed along external walls for periodic recharging.
Low pressure induction ensures even distribution of chemicals without disturbing occupants or furniture.
3. Continuous Protection:
The system forms a continuous chemical barrier, denying termites access to the structure.
Recommended recharge every 1-2 years at 2.25 liters per sq. meter ensures ongoing protection.
1. Improper Installation Risk:
Incorrect pipe layout or spacing can lead to uneven chemical distribution, leaving areas vulnerable to termite attack.
2. Pipe Blockage:
Although designed to resist debris, clay, or concrete, poor-quality pipes or construction debris can sometimes cause blockages, reducing system effectiveness.
3. Periodic Maintenance Required:
Recharging every 1-2 years is necessary. Skipping maintenance may weaken the chemical barrier over time.
4. Initial Cost:
Higher upfront installation cost compared to conventional termite injections, though long term benefits outweigh initial investment.
5. Accessibility of Junction Boxes:
Junction boxes must be easily accessible for refills. Poor placement can make maintenance difficult or intrusive.
