Tremie Method
The tremie method uses a set of specialized tools and accessories to transport and deposit concrete smoothly to the desired location. It starts by placing the tremie pipe vertically into the water or wet area. Pour concrete underwater into the hopper which directs it into the tremie pipe. The discharge opening at the bottom of the tremie pipe releases the concrete in a controlled and continuous flow of concrete. This method allows smooth and efficient placement of concrete underwater or in wet conditions, reduces the risk of segregation and washout. The tremie method is versatile and can be used for various applications, foundations, ship construction and complex structures to solve challenging concrete placement problems.
