Tremie Clamp for Tremie Elephant Trunks
Tremie Clamp is stainless steel and fits both 8” and 12” trunks.
The Deslauriers Tremie Elephant Trunk is a specialized tool used for concrete pouring for controlled placement, where traditional methods are impractical or impossible. It’s used for the tremie method of placing concrete, which is used for concrete underwater or deep foundation work. The stainless steel tremie clamp attaches the tremie hopper's elephant trunk to the ready-mix chute for accurate concrete distribution.
The Tremie Elephant Trunk is made of durable and flexible materials such as high-quality polyethylene or rubber. It’s a long, tapered tube with a wide opening at the top for concrete pouring and a narrow discharge end for controlled placement. The flexibility of the elephant trunk allows it to be easily placed in tight spaces.
During the concrete pour, the Tremie Elephant Trunk is inserted vertically into the placement area, with the wide opening at the top connected to the concrete source, such as a concrete pump or bucket. As the concrete flows through the elephant trunk, it displaces the water and debris, so you get a clean and uniform placement.
The tapered shape of the trunk prevents water or other materials from entering the concrete, so you get good quality concrete and no segregation. It also allows for precise and controlled placement of the concrete, even in deep foundations or underwater.
The Tremie Elephant Trunk is great for applications like bridge piers, caissons and other underwater or deep placements. Its flexibility and length allows you to pour concrete directly where you want it, so you get proper compaction and minimize voids or honeycombing.
In summary, the Deslauriers Tremie Elephant Trunk is a must-have for tremie concrete pouring. It’s for controlled placement, water exclusion and uniformity in tough stainless steel construction situations. Using the Tremie Elephant Trunk helps get the job done, especially in underwater or deep foundation applications, for durable and quality concrete structures.
What is a Tremie Clamp?
A Tremie Clamp is a critical component in the concrete placement process, designed to attach the Tremie Elephant Trunk to the Tremie Hopper. This stainless steel device ensures a secure and efficient connection between the two, for controlled concrete placement in various applications, including underwater and deep foundation projects. By providing a solid attachment, the Tremie Clamp keeps the concrete flow intact, no leaks and the concrete is placed where you need it. This is especially important in tough situations where traditional pouring methods won’t work.
