Soil treatment will be specified for all types of construction where t
11、ermites are likely to establish colonies and make concealed access to wood construction, including wood doors, windows, finish, and trim, or to wood-product, cloth, or cellulose storage in buildings. Soil treatment will also be required for structures constructed of or containing wood-preservative-t
12、reated items. However, soil treatment is not required for power plants, central-heating plants, water- or sewer-treatment plants, incinerators, pump houses, and structures of similar nature which have neither wood in their SECTION 31 31 16 Page 3Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networ
13、king permitted without license from IHS-,-,-construction nor wood or cellulose items stored within, and which have little chance of conversion to alternative uses.Modification of this section, including materials, concentrations, or rates of application, considered necessary because of climatic cond
14、itions, porosity of soil to be treated, type of termite, or heavy infestation of termites, will be as recommended by the certified installation pest management coordinator. The modification will be in accordance with the guidance contained in the installation pest management program. Army Regulation
15、 210-50, Housing Management, paragraph SPECIAL CONDITIONS, prohibits termiticide treatment through or under concrete slabs where HVAC ducts or vents are within or beneath the slab. Information is also available from state and local agriculture agencies and from the EPA National Pesticide Telephone N
16、etwork at 1-800-858-7378.When termites are known to be present on the project site, any crawl space on the ground level designed in a building needs to be designed for a concrete cover to be placed over the soil after treatment by a termiticide. Since the crawl space remains accessible to people and
17、 animals, it requires the concrete cover and signage.For maximum termite protection, new structures should be designed and constructed using CCA- or borate-treated lumber, especially for foundation members. Untreated lumber in existing structures may be treated using rods of CCA or borate salts whic
18、h can be inserted into non-treated wood and dissolved with water for absorption by the wood.*1.1 REFERENCES*NOTE: This paragraph is used to list the publications cited in the text of the guide specification.
