Mini Tremie Hopper Chain and Hook
Tremie pipes are used in underwater construction and deep foundation construction to pour concrete in tough places. A tremie pipe is a long vertical pipe to pour concrete underwater or below ground surface, to get a continuous flow of concrete and minimize segregation and washout. It is crucial to maintain flow during concrete pouring to prevent premature setting and ensure the strength and uniformity of the concrete structure.
Tremie pipes are used when traditional pouring methods can’t be used, like underwater construction or deep foundation construction. The pipe is made of metal or heavy duty vinyl and come in various diameters and lengths to suit your project. It is important to keep the tremie pipe below the upper surface of the rising concrete level to prevent water from mixing with the concrete, ensuring integrity during the pour.
One of the biggest advantage of tremie pipes is to get a flow of concrete, which is important for a strong and durable structure. The pipe is designed to pour concrete from the bottom up, to minimize segregation and get a smooth and controlled pour.
Besides underwater construction, tremie pipes are also used in deep foundation construction like diaphragm walls and piles. The pipe is used to pour concrete in the foundation, to get a strong and stable base for the structure.
To get a good pour, you need to use a foam rubber plug to seal the bottom of the tremie pipe before pouring concrete. This will prevent water from entering the pipe and mix with the concrete mix, to keep the freshly poured concrete intact.
Overall, tremie pipes are a must have in underwater construction and deep foundation construction to pour concrete in tough places. By getting a continuous flow of concrete and minimize segregation and washout, tremie pipes will ensure the strength and durability of the structure.
Components and Accessories
Tremie pipes are composed of several key components and accessories that work together to ensure a smooth and controlled placement of concrete underwater or below the ground surface. These components include:
-
Tremie Pipe: The main component of the tremie system, the tremie pipe is a long, vertical pipe made of metal or heavy duty vinyl that is used to place underwater or below the ground surface. Its design ensures a flow of concrete, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the structure.
-
Conical Hopper: Positioned at the upper end of the tremie pipe, the conical hopper facilitates the introduction of concrete into the pipe. It is often designed with a large opening to accommodate batch loading of fresh concrete, ensuring a steady supply during the pour.
-
O-Ring Seal: The O-ring seal is a critical component that maintains the integrity of the concrete flow, preventing water from entering the pipe and mixing with the concrete mix. This ensures that the freshly placed concrete remains uncontaminated and strong.
-
Discharge Opening: Located at the lower end of the tremie pipe, the discharge opening controls the release of concrete, ensuring that the freshly placed concrete is placed accurately and with minimal dispersion. This precision is vital for achieving a smooth and controlled placement.
-
Foam Rubber Plug: A foam rubber plug is used to seal the bottom of the tremie pipe before pouring concrete. This prevents water from entering the pipe and mixing with the concrete mix, ensuring the integrity of the concrete mix and maintaining the quality of the freshly placed concrete.
-
Hopper Clamp: The hopper clamp is used to attach the conical hopper to the tremie pipe, ensuring a secure connection and preventing any leaks or spills. This stability is essential for maintaining a continuous flow of concrete.
-
Tremie Clamp: The tremie clamp is used to attach the tremie pipe to the hopper, ensuring a secure connection and preventing any leaks or spills. This helps in maintaining a smooth and controlled placement of concrete.
-
Heavy Duty Vinyl Trunk: The heavy duty vinyl trunk is a flexible, waterproof tube that connects the hopper to the tremie pipe, allowing for a smooth and controlled flow of concrete. Its durability ensures that the concrete mix is delivered efficiently and without interruption.
-
Wellhead Frame: The wellhead frame is a structural component that supports the tremie pipe and hopper, ensuring a stable and secure connection. This support is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the entire tremie system during the concrete placement process.
-
Racks: Racks are used to support the tremie pipe and hopper, ensuring a stable and secure connection during the concrete placement process. This stability is essential for achieving a smooth and controlled placement of concrete underwater or below the ground surface.
These components and accessories work together to ensure a smooth and controlled placement of concrete underwater or below the ground surface, making tremie pipes an essential tool in deep foundation construction, underwater construction, and other complex construction projects. By using these components, you can achieve a continuous flow of concrete, minimize segregation, and ensure the strength and durability of your structure.
