Tremie Elephant Trunk Hose, 12in Diameter
Tremie Trunk, 12" Diameter and 25 ft roll, is made from heavy duty vinyl.
The Tremie Elephant Trunk from Deslauriers is a specialized tool for concrete pouring to place concrete efficiently and controlled, where traditional methods are impractical or impossible. It’s used for the tremie method, used for placing concrete underwater or deep foundations.
The Tremie Elephant Trunk is made of durable and flexible materials such as polyethylene or rubber. It’s a long, tapered tube with a wide opening at the top for concrete pouring and a narrow open end discharge end for controlled placement. The flexibility of the trunk allows it to be easily moved and positioned in tight spaces.
During the concrete pouring process, 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 trunk, it displaces water and debris, a clean and homogeneous placement.
The tapered design of the trunk prevents water or other material from entering the concrete, keeps the concrete quality and prevents segregation. It also allows for precise and controlled placement of the concrete, even in deep foundations or underwater.
The Tremie Elephant Trunk is ideal for applications such as bridge piers, caissons and other underwater or deep concrete placements. Its flexibility and length allows concrete to be poured directly at the point of placement, proper compaction and reduces the risk of voids or honeycombing.
In short, the Tremie Elephant Trunk from Deslauriers is a concrete pouring tool for the tremie method. It’s for controlled placement, water tight and uniformity in tough construction. Using the Tremie Elephant Trunk will help you complete your projects, especially in underwater or deep foundation applications, for long life and quality concrete.
