Perth Limestone, Sandy Soils, and Termite-Resistant Slab Design

Perth's sandy coastal plain soils are generally well-drained and less reactive than Melbourne's clays, but limestone bedrock in many Perth suburbs (particularly north of the river) requires specialist cutting equipment for driveway and slab preparation. Perth's high termite pressure (one of the highest in Australia) requires that concrete slabs include appropriate termite management measures, either chemical soil treatment under the slab or a physical termite barrier incorporated into the slab perimeter. Ensure your Perth concreter specifies termite management in their quote. demirs.wa.gov.au
