Underwater concreting using the tremie method is suitable for draining a high quantity of heavy leakage concrete.
The concrete is displaced to the hopper by further pumping, belt skips.
Tremie pipe, the top ending jointed to a hoper and bottom ending running drowned in new concrete, is used to locate concrete at the correct position from the hopper at the field.
The cause to dip the tremie pipe bottom end is to stop combine of both concrete and water.
Because of mass size, Tremie pipe should have a capable diameter to block the leakage.
Commonly diameter is 200-300mm aggregate of clear junction for up and down of size.
The lower end is secured with a plug and chosen below.
The water keeps the peace at the location where the concrete is running. Later the end is close, and no water will have passed the pipe.
The concrete must have a 15-20cm slump to dig into the funnel when the total size of the tube covering with concrete, the tremie pipe boost, and a slight jerk given by a tackle and pulley.
When the line heaves and provides a draw, the lower plug falls because of a load of concrete, and concrete gets released.
Must take particular heed to this situation to look which the end.
Tremie pipe continues in the concrete so that no water passes the line from the lower.
Again concrete is dug over the funnel, and when the total size of the tremie pipe cover with concrete, the tube is again slight boost and given a small jerk.
Care choose every time to keep the bottom end of the tremie pipe in raised concrete. The concrete of the tremie pipe gets released in that time.
This process carried out smoothly benefits the concrete does not get damaged by the water omitting the upper end.
The upper layer is purified to take off the damaged concrete at the end of the entire function.
At the time of the concrete process, no pumping of water should be allowed; the cement piece, if jointly pumping of water is done.
Next, the concrete is appropriate, which does not usually need compression.
The main demerit of underwater concreting is in this process in that a more water ratio needs more consistency which decreases the power of concrete.
On the other hand, the cementing method of wrapped aggregate is not so usually occupied to location concrete below water.
The prepared cement mortar cementing is fitted by the pipe, which spreads to the lower aggregate bed.
The grout power the water out from the gap and employs the place.
Concrete can locate underwater by the use of pipes and concrete pumps.
When the whole pipe is covered, the plug eject; the concrete near the bottom end of the line secures the tube.
The pumping is opposed to the plug's mass at the bottom end. When the pumping issue need is too high to pass the pressure, the pipe eject, and the process is regular. This method continues since the concrete arrives at a level above water.
