Installation of Kordon Termite Management System
Kordon is designed for flexibility. Below are the key installation areas and specific site requirements for optimal protection.
1. Penetrations
Installation around all service penetrations through the slab to prevent termite entry via these vulnerable points.
Clear area around pipes, no obstructions like steel reinforcement or lagging, ensuring collars can be fitted properly.
Collars are fitted with cable ties, positioned entirely within the slab to ensure they are neither visible above the slab post-pour nor placed too low beneath the moisture barrier.
2. Perimeter
A continuous barrier installed around the perimeter of the building's slab to prevent termite ingress from the edges.
Clean and smooth concrete slab edge with at least 75mm of exposed concrete, formwork and moisture barriers removed, and all steelwork in place.
The system is securely fixed to the top of the slab using nails and adhesive, adjusting the width based on wall type while avoiding interference with frame locations.
3. Construction Joints
Protection for construction joints, including joins between existing-to-new construction and new-to-new breaks.
Vertical slab edge needs to be free from obstructions such as black plastic and reinforced steel and should be smooth with no ridges or gaps.
The system is installed either on the vertical face or laid horizontally between the two joining slabs.
4. Retaining Walls
Protection for retaining walls that may be susceptible to termite infestation, preventing bypass of perimeter defences.
Walls must be fully waterproofed prior to installation to prevent moisture from compromising the barrier.
Ensures a tight seal against termite entry, tailored to the specific construction of the retaining wall.
5. Under Slab Treatments
Barrier installed under the concrete slab providing a foundational layer of protection.
Black plastic moisture barrier correctly installed, no reinforcing steel on top of the pads, and smooth, imperfection-free concrete surface.
Ensures a continuous barrier beneath the slab, with attention to collar placement and ensuring no breaches in the moisture barrier.
Builder & Trade Responsibilities
Builders must ensure all trades understand their impact on the termite system.
Brick Layers
Crucial for embedding the termite barrier within brickwork. Must understand how the barrier functions with mortar to avoid compromises.
Plumbers
Awareness of barrier locations and the installation of specialized collars are essential. Do not cut or disturb collars once placed.
Concreters
Must prepare the slab edge meticulously (75mm exposed). A debris-free, smooth surface is fundamental for the barrier's performance.
Steel Workers
Must ensure the system is correctly integrated with steel structures to eliminate any entry points for termites around columns.
Carpenters
Awareness of the layout is essential, especially at slab edges. Frame installation must not compromise the barrier's effectiveness.
Coordination with Tri4
Our response team is always on standby. Immediate action is crucial if the product is damaged, facilitating swift repair and recertification to align with Australian standards.
Maintenance & Inspection
Kordon provides enduring protection. For optimal effectiveness and to uphold the warranty, owners must schedule yearly termite inspections adhering to AS 3660.1.
Please inform us of any modifications (additions, renovations, landscaping) as a reevaluation may be required.
