Concrete Elephant Trunk is designed for concrete placement in areas where conventional pouring methods won’t work. Elephant trunks, or concrete chutes, made of flexible PVC, are essential for confining and directing concrete during placement in forms. It’s perfect for projects that require concrete to be placed underwater or at great depth, such as bridge piers, caissons and deep foundation structures.
Application and Usage:
Concrete Elephant Trunk is for the tremie method to ensure clean and consistent concrete placement without segregation. The trunk is inserted vertically into the pour area with the wide top opening connected to a concrete source such as a pump or bucket. The Deslauriers mini hopper attaches to the end of a ready-mix concrete truck’s ready mix chute for easy and precise concrete distribution. As concrete flows through the trunk it displaces water and debris keeping the concrete quality and reducing voids. The tapered tube design is for smooth and controlled flow and the flexibility allows for easy maneuvering in tight or irregular spaces.
Durability and Compliance:
Made by Deslauriers this Tremie Elephant Trunk Hose is built for tough job site conditions. The vinyl is abrasion, tear and puncture resistant for long life and performance. The trunk is flexible pvc chute and long and big diameter for many applications.
