The pipe is meant to be covered in loose soil or sand, the pipe has holes in it that leaks out a termicide that leaches into the soil/sand about 300mm down and 300mm out which creates a kill zone. 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. We are Expert Consultant's, and we are here to help. Just get as close as you can without hitting the posts.
