Paving Concrete Over Termguard Pipes
Page 1 of 1
My builder installed termite barriers around my recently constructed house in Sydney. The pipe runs across my garage and porch steps. I'm going to making conrete driveway, How can I go about laying concrete over it?
Ask the supplier of the termite retic for their installation detail.
What you've got there does not in any way comply and you shouldn't be paying for it until rectified.
The Termguard website has detailed installation instructions with specific requirements for piping under concrete.

is it usually installed by the builder or Termguard?
If you do it yourself I think you'll find that any warranty is void

It can be installed by a number of licenced pest control companies.
I would doubt that any builder is approved to do installation and that they would be required to get someone in who knows what they are doing
Dig the pipe down into a trench and fill the trench with sand/soil, then form up and concrete over. Or have a termite guy cap it to the left of the garage and the right of the entry porch. The concrete you will be pouring for the drive/porch will have abelflex between the two concretes (slab / drive), your slab looks to be about 385mm so you are probably on a H1 or H2 site. The abelflex has a tear-away to the top to produce a sealant well to the top section of the slab, your termite guy can apply a termite silicon to create a termite barrier and a moisture barrier preventing moisture wicking down between the two slabs. You achieve a termite barrier, a moisture barrier, and a visual barrier all in one go.

Just get as close as you can without hitting the posts. Once you are close to the edge of the path the chance of cracking is minimised.
