1. OBJECTIVE:
 The objective of this method statement is to define the general
guideline for the application of termite control for all underneath
structure in the project.

2. SCOPE:
 The Termite application procedures encompass all work activities
associated with manufacturer's recommendations performed by
AUVA in coordination with the QC Department/Safety Department
interfaces. To ensure that termite control application Work is
conducted in accordance with good working practice, work is
been inspected and verified by the Saudi Aramco Representative
to satisfy and attain the Client requirement in conjunction with the
Project Quality Plan.
 This method statement enumerates the procedure for
pre-construction soil Treatment within the sub structure of any
building structures for termite control.

3. REFEREANCE:
 IFC Drawings
 Project Quality plan
 Manufacturer instruction of material
 SAES-M-100

4. RESPONSIBILITES:

 Site engineer:
Site engineer is responsible to take all preventive and
precautionary measures during preparation and execution of
work. And only competent persons are allowed to perform the job
with complete personal protective tools and equipment’s.

 Safety Officer:
Safety Officer would be responsible for following items:

 He will make sure that all construction activities would be

carried out under approved CSSP.
 He will make sure that all workers have proper PPEs and
oriented.
 The site should be cleared from any obstruction to prevent any
accidents, slips, tripping and fall.
 He will make sure that in case of chemical contact to body or
eyes, a washable container with clean water shall be always
available in the work area.
 He will make sure the construction group has acquired work
permits.
 He will check upon mixing of chemicals has a containment and
spill kits.

5. FIELD CONDITIONS:
 Environmental Limitations:
To ensure penetration, do not treat the soil which is water saturated
or frozen. Do not treat the soil while precipitation is occurring and
comply with requirements of local jurisdiction.

 Related Work:
Coordinate soil treatment application with excavation, filling,
grading, and concreting operations. Termite solution should be
applied under the foundations, around plumbing pipes and
electric conduit penetrating the foundation and along the entire
outside perimeter.

6. PROCEDURES:

6.1 Preparations:
 General: Prepare work areas according to the requirements of
authorities having jurisdiction and according to manufacturer's
written instructions before beginning application and installation of
termite control treatment. Remove extraneous sources of wood
cellulose and other edible materials, such as wood debris, tree
stumps and roots, stakes, formwork, and construction waste, wood
from soil within and around foundations.

 Soil Treatment Preparation: Remove foreign matter and

impermeable soil materials that could decrease treatment
effectiveness on areas to be treated.
Loosen, rake, and level the soil to be treated, except previously
compacted areas under slabs and footings.

6.2 Applying soil treatment

Mix soil treatment termiticide solution to a uniform consistency
according to manufacturer’s recommendation and distribute the
treatment uniformly. Apply treatment at the product's EPA-
Registered Label volume and rate for maximum specified
concentration of termiticide to the following so that a continuous
horizontal and vertical termiticidal barrier or treated zone is
established around and under building construction.
 Slabs-on-Grade and Basement Slabs: Underground-supported
slab construction, including footings, building slabs, and attached
slabs as an overall treatment. Treat soil materials before concreting
the footings and slabs.
 Foundations: Soil adjacent to and along the entire inside perimeter
of foundation walls; around plumbing pipes and electric conduit
penetrating the slab; around interior column footers, piers, and
chimney bases; and along the entire outside perimeter, from
grade to bottom of footing.
 Crawlspaces: Soil under and adjacent to foundations. Treat
adjacent areas, including around entrance platform, porches,
and equipment bases. Apply overall treatment only where
attached concrete platform and porches are on fill or ground.
 Masonry: Treat voids.
 Penetrations: At expansion joints, control joints, and areas where
slabs and below grade walls will be penetrated.
 Post the warning signs in the areas of application.

 Reapply soil treatment solution to areas disturbed by subsequent

excavation, grading, landscaping, or other construction activities
following application.
6.3 Protection
Avoid disturbance of treated soil after application. Keep off
treated areas until completely dry.
Protect termiticide solution dispersed in treated soils and fills from
being diluted by exposure to water spillage or weather until
ground-supported slabs are installed.

7 QUALITY INSPECTION:

 QA/QC Inspector and site engineer shall coordinate and verify site
condition, remove foreign matter that could decrease treatment
effectiveness on areas to be treated. Loosen rake and level soil to be
treated, except previously compacted areas under slabs and
foundation.
 Verify the soil surface is unfrozen, sufficiently dry to absorb termiticide,
and ready to receive treatment.
 Verify final grading and final compaction test is complete prior to soil
treatment.
 The Inspector should have the material approval, ITP, Inspection
Checklist and key drawing plan.
 Termite Control shall be from Saudi Aramco approved supplier and
applicator

8 PROTECTION OF FINISHED WORK

 Vapor barrier to be placed over the treated soil immediately following

treatment.
 There is to be minimum of disturbance of the soil after treatment, undue
disturbance could compromise the integrity of the chemical barrier.
 Termite treated surface shall be sealed immediately by concrete
structure to prevent evaporation of chemicals as per the
recommendation by the Chemical data sheet or manufacturer.

9 SPECIALIZING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

 Power Sprayer (diesel - driven) fixed at the carriage of the service car
 Spray nozzle - use to facilitate the formation of spray in the target area
 Personal Protective Equipment - safety helmet, safety gloves, safety
shoes, eye protection or goggles, approved respiratory and safety
jacket.
