TWAC Installation Manual Ver: 0118 CodeMark™ CMA-CM40036
PROCEDURES
●
Comply with all site requirements such as site safety inductions, personal protective
equipment and reasonable directions from the builder / supervisor.
●
The workplace health and safety requirements of The White Ant Co Pty Ltd must be
followed at all times.
●
Before commencing work ensure the site safety analysis is complete
– your safety is
your responsibility.
●
If you have any doubt regarding finished ground or external slab levels, check with the
builder as this will save yourself and others unnecessary work later.
●
All installations from penetrations to perimeter barriers will only be as good as the
preparation carried out
– dust, mortar and concrete slurry will ensure the installation will
fail:
●
Clean the slab edge using a wire brush
●
Use a bolster / chisel to remove slurry and mortar
●
Fill cavities with ADULETH TERMITICIDE, if severe, paint with ADSOL
first, as this will bond any loose material you have been unable to
remove
●
Check for drummy sections of the slab that may have been caused by
frame fixing.
●
All installations are to be carried out to the requirements of The White Ant Co Pty Ltd
–
not to the builder’s request. Should a builder insist on an installation that is not to
specification or he refuses to allow a complete installation, contact a supervisor and
supply the builder with a site instruction to prevent any warranty issues at a later time
–
you are the expert in this field.
●
On completion of the installation you must be confident that you have installed a
complete termite barrier that will:

Physically prevent termites from entering the building

Is well presented

Leave a clean site for following tradespeople
●
While installing the penetration protection, check that the reinforcing mesh has not been
cut which could indicate a construction/key joint is to be installed.
●
If there is a step down in the slab, inform a supervisor that it exists or notify the builder
that protection will be required
– he may not be aware of the requirements.
