Technical and Training Manual This Technical and Training Manual is the property of The White Ant Co Pty Ltd and its contents is specific to the installation of Protectant™ Termite Barrier &

Waterproofing System for Hebel®, with products referred to within the manual. At

no time may the contents of this manual be given to others or discussed outside The White Ant Co Pty Ltd. Should your involvement with The White Ant Co Pty Ltd cease, this manual must be returned to a company representative. The Technical and Training Manual gives instruction on the basic installation techniques required for the correct installation of Protectant™ ACP Barrier &

Waterproofing System designed for Hebel®. Should an installer be unsure of

any installation they are required to contact a White Ant Co Pty Ltd’s supervisor, manager or the technical and training manager for assistance. The White Ant Co Pty Ltd’s range of products have been tested and appraised by ABSAC, CSIRO and the Department of Primary Industry and Fisheries (QLD) as a physical Termite Barrier System and should be installed accordingly. Independant waterproofing and bonding reports have also been obtained for Hebel Panels. The appraisals — 224 and 321 (ABSAC and CSIRO) — refer to The White Ant Co Pty Ltd system for the installation of PVC and the Protectant™ Polymer Termite Barrier System products respectively, to be used in conjunction with the adhesives AD-TR-SOL Red and ADULETH Termiticide. The adhesives may never be considered as a Termite Barrier without use of one of the appraised products. While the use of the products has been heavily researched and the application techniques proven over a number of years, ongoing research, development and testing may result in changes. Should a change be made, an update to the manual will be provided. Any update is to be placed into the manual and the redundant sections removed. Updates will be provided when necessary. It is the responsibility of regional managers and trainers to ensure all installers are made aware of any alterations and ensure the version and date of the manuals are current. While this manual provides the instructions required to install the products in a manner to ensure the efficiency of the system, be aware that the presentation of the completed installation, yourself and your vehicle are equally important. An installation that looks to be professionally installed by a well presented and competent tradesperson will ensure faith in both the product and yourself. You are the company representative on any installation and it is up to you to ensure that continuity of work is achieved for both yourself and The White Ant Co Pty Ltd.


Pre-requisite for License Approval Before any work can be commenced for The White Ant Co Pty Ltd, it is a requirement that the Job Safety Analysis included in this manual be signed and returned to the Technical and Training Manager. Failure to accept the conditions of the Job Safety Analysis or failure to comply with the conditions during the course of installation will result in instant dismissal. Procedures

• Comply with all site requirements such as site safety inductions, personal protective equipment and reasonable directions from the builder / supervisor

• The Workplace Heath 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

• 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. Therefore employees must clean the slab rebate and use a bolster / chisel to remove slurry and mortar.

• All installations are to be carried out to the requirements of The White Ant Co Pty Ltd — not the builders 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 completeion of the installation you must be confident you have installed a

complete Protectant™ Termite & Waterproofing Barrier System for Hebel®

that will; physically prevent termites and water from entering the building, be well presented and leave a clean site for following tradespeople


Training Protocol Licensed Installers An Installers license will not be issued until the following criteria have been met:

• Understanding of the barrier components

• Understanding of how and why the barrier is installed

• Understanding of and training in external waterproofing

• Competency in the standard installation types

• Knowledge of varying types of installations from the training manual When the listed criteria have been satisfied a Level 1 — Accredited Installer’s License will be issued by The White Ant Co Pty Ltd.


Pre-Pour Penetrations Points To Remember

• Penetrations are to be fitted no later than the day before the slab pour

• Do not attempt to install penetrations until the moisture membrane and reinforcing mesh have been placed

• Cut the reinforcing mesh back 65mm from all pipes and remove tape from caps or pipes

• Take care when removing caps as the drainage pipe work may be under pressure Installation

• Push the flange in a single movement to the required position at mid-slab height

• Apply The white Ant Co Pty Ltd tape from above the reinforcing mesh, spiralled to the top of the pipe

• Reapply any tape or caps that have been removed to ensure concrete cannot enter the pipe during the pour

• Check that the reinforcing mesh has been cut back sufficiently from the pipe

• Check that all pipes and conduits have been treated


In some cases due to space restrictions, it may not be possible to fit rigid Penetration Flanges. If it is necessary, use Protectant™ Termite Barrier and zip ties. The Protectant™ Termite Barrier should be firm and neatly trimmed to increase the opportunity for the concrete flow under and around the cluster.


Hebel Panel Surface Preparation

Clean the slab edge and Hebel Panel of dirt, debris, oil, dust, etc. and remove the loose particles of the Hebel Panel with a wire brush. Once done, use banister brush

or blower to clear it away. All surfaces must be firm, clean, dry, sound and smooth.


Prime the clean and dry surfaces for better adhesion, with a brush or spray bottle to the height of the ‘V’ joint (floor level). Concrete must be allowed to cure for 28 days prior to the application of Protek WPU. As the Hebel Panels are porous in nature, they must be sealed — no

exceptions.


Perimeter Barrier Installation

Run a line across the Hebel Panel at finish floor height. Apply a 20mm bead of ADULETH Termiticide on the join of the Hebel Panel and rebate. Then, using a trowel or gloved fingers, smooth out the bead of ADULETH Termiticide to form a solid barrier with the rebate and the Hebel Panel.


Protek WPU cannot span gaps for dynamic cracks, therefore any imperfections in the base of the Hebel Panel are to be repaired by filling them with ADULETH

Termiticide. Vertical expansion joints are to be covered with a self adhesive waterproofing tape.


Apply Protek WPU with a brush, as per the label, to a minimum thickness of 1mm, to a height of 180mm (or internal floor height). Ensuring to get into all cracks and crevices for complete waterproofing.


Once Protek WPU has dried, spray panel with 3M ’90 High Strength’ spray adhesive. Making an even coat to top of termite resistant cloth height (finished floor

level).


Once applied, press cloth across panel ensuring an even coverage.


Points to Remember

• The installation must create a complete physical barrier to termites

• The installation must be well presented

• No waste is to be left on site — refer to the job safety analysis

• If the installation is to require additional work in the immediate future, ensure you notify a supervisor and inform the builder that this work is required, to ensure a complete barrier that does not require rectification

• Clean tools and equipment with water and detergent while membrane is still wet

• Health and safety: gloves and eye protection should be worn during application, if product is splashed onto skin it should be washed off with water before it dries
