Speaker: Dennis Keane with Stego Industries

An in-depth look at under-slab physical barriers as a means of preventing subterranean termite infestation, as well as moisture intrusion through concrete slabs. This seminar will help the audience develop a comprehensive strategy to protect their buildings and occupants from unwanted soil vapors and termites. Termites are well known destroyers of wood and other building components, however soil vapor is often overlooked as a contributor to floor covering failures as well as poor indoor air quality which can compromise the health of a building. Design of Building Systems, Environmental Factors, and Occupant Comfort will be addressed in this seminar. Additionally, updated information from the relevant ASTM standards and ACI recommendations with regard to under-slab moisture protection will be incorporated into the presentation. All of the applicable information from these organizations will be presented, along with case studies highlighting the problems associated with using inadequate or improperly located termite control or vapor protection systems. This seminar advocates for the use of green, non-pesticidal, methods of termite control.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will gain a better understanding of the different means and methods available for termite control.
2. Participants will learn how a physical termite barrier can be a part of an integrated pest management program.
3. Participants will learn the science behind moisture migration through concrete slabs.
4. Participants will learn what design, construction, and installation considerations can be employed to ensure success..

Learning Units will be provided: Yes (LU/HSW
