ANTI-TERMITE METALLIC PHYSICAL BARRIER SYSTEM

 Termite Treatment And Control Company Singapore

A.T.M Barrier System…Our Eco-Friendly System

In recent years, the world has become aware of the importance of protecting the Earth and moving towards eco-friendly and sustainable building construction. A.T.M Barrier System uses only green products to stop the entry of subterranean termites…and water.

The main factors taken into design considerations are as follows:-

  • Environment
  • Types of soil
  • Ground water table
  • Expansion Joints at reinforced concrete slab/wall in contact with ground
  • Services Penetrations at reinforces concrete slab/wall in contact with ground

Our Design Concept

 

The Anti-Termite Metallic Barrier System is designed as a permanent physical and continuous barrier to ensure any termite colony attacking the building cannot proceed through gaps in the concrete or masonry, but must expose their access via tunnels in order to get over or past the A.T.M Barrier.

The A.T.M Subterranean Termite Barrier System uses only green products which ensure that they will not bring any further damage to the earth. A.T.M System is developed to block the ingress of termites with optional value added engineering concept of waterproofing the concrete structures at joints where termites may enter.

Our team of consultant Entomologist, professional engineers, and waterproofing specialist custom-make designs and build systems to suit all new concrete buildings and ensure the best value for the owners and end-users.

In every new building, we will carefully study the design and construction sequences with the builders to custom-make a system that will work perfectly well to block the ingress of subterranean termites and water.
