ABSTRACT

Termite hazard is an important factor threatening the safety of earth-rock dams. In this paper, the current situation of termites in Kafulafuta reservoir in south-central Africa is systematically investigated and analyzed, and the domestic termite control measures are applied to the actual construction. The results of research and practice show that evolution is the main type of nest in the engineering area, followed by degradation, and the least hidden nest. By means of source control, process control, and special management, the harm of termites in the project area has been effectively reduced, providing a valuable reference for the development of similar projects under the Belt and Road Initiative.
