Details
Product Description:
Our Tremie Concrete is a highly flowable yet cohesive ready-mixed concrete mix specifically designed for placement underwater or in confined spaces using the tremie pipe method. Formulated with specialized admixtures, it resists segregation and washout during placement, ensuring a dense, homogeneous concrete mass even in challenging conditions. Compliant with MS EN 206 and relevant placement standards.
Key Features:
- Mix Type: Highly Flowable, Cohesive, Anti-Washout Ready-Mixed Concrete.
- Properties: Excellent flowability (high slump/flow values), high resistance to segregation, minimal washout when placed through water, self-compacting or requires minimal compaction. Maintains specified strength (specify grade G25+ typically).
- Constituents: Typically uses specific aggregate grading, higher cement/fines content, and advanced superplasticizers and potentially anti-washout admixtures (AWA).
- Placement Method: Designed specifically for placement via a tremie pipe (a vertical pipe through which concrete flows by gravity, displacing water without mixing).
- Compliance: Meets MS EN 206 and project specifications for underwater or specialized placement.
Ideal for:
- Underwater construction (piles, diaphragm walls, foundations, bridge piers, harbour works).
- Casting deep foundations or large-volume pours where direct placement is difficult.
- Filling confined spaces or complex formwork.
- Applications where vibration/compaction is difficult or impossible.
Benefits:
- Effective Underwater Placement: Allows successful concreting below the water table without excessive segregation or washout.
- High Quality in Confined Spaces: Ensures void-free, dense concrete even where access is limited.
- Reduced Risk of Defects: Minimizes segregation, honeycombing, and laitance layers associated with poor underwater concreting.
- Efficiency: Enables continuous placement in challenging scenarios.

Important Notes:
- Requires strict adherence to the tremie placement procedure (keeping pipe end embedded in concrete, maintaining continuous flow).
- Mix design is critical and tailored to placement depth and conditions.
- Site logistics and coordination are crucial for successful tremie pours.
- Delivery via concrete mixer truck. Requires careful scheduling and potentially large volumes.
