Tremie Concrete

Product Description:

Our Tremie Concrete is a highly flowable yet cohesive ready-mixed concrete mix specifically designed for placement underwater or in confined spaces using the tremie pipe method. Formulated with specialized admixtures, it resists segregation and washout during placement, ensuring a dense, homogeneous concrete mass even in challenging conditions. Compliant with MS EN 206 and relevant placement standards.

Key Features:

• Mix Type: Highly Flowable, Cohesive, Anti-Washout Ready-Mixed Concrete.
• Properties: Excellent flowability (high slump/flow values), high resistance to segregation, minimal washout when placed through water, self-compacting or requires minimal compaction. Maintains specified strength (specify grade G25+ typically).
• Constituents: Typically uses specific aggregate grading, higher cement/fines content, and advanced superplasticizers and potentially anti-washout admixtures (AWA).
• Placement Method: Designed specifically for placement via a tremie pipe (a vertical pipe through which concrete flows by gravity, displacing water without mixing).
• Compliance: Meets MS EN 206 and project specifications for underwater or specialized placement.

Ideal for:

• Underwater construction (piles, diaphragm walls, foundations, bridge piers, harbour works).
• Casting deep foundations or large-volume pours where direct placement is difficult.
• Filling confined spaces or complex formwork.
• Applications where vibration/compaction is difficult or impossible.

Benefits:

• Effective Underwater Placement: Allows successful concreting below the water table without excessive segregation or washout.
• High Quality in Confined Spaces: Ensures void-free, dense concrete even where access is limited.
• Reduced Risk of Defects: Minimizes segregation, honeycombing, and laitance layers associated with poor underwater concreting.
• Efficiency: Enables continuous placement in challenging scenarios.

Important Notes:

• Requires strict adherence to the tremie placement procedure (keeping pipe end embedded in concrete, maintaining continuous flow).
• Mix design is critical and tailored to placement depth and conditions.
• Site logistics and coordination are crucial for successful tremie pours.
• Delivery via concrete mixer truck. Requires careful scheduling and potentially large volumes.
