Get PriceA tremie is a watertight pipe, usually of about 250mm inside diameter (150 to 300 mm), with a conical hopper at its upper end above the water level. It may have a loose plug or a valve at the bottom end. A tremie is used to pour concrete underwater in a way that avoids washout of cement from the mix due to turbulent water contact with the concrete while it is flowing.
Get PriceConcrete Slump Test. The concrete slump test is used for the measurement of a property of fresh concrete. The test is an empirical test that measures the workability of fresh concrete. More specifically, it measures concrete consistency between batches. The test is popular due to the simplicity of apparatus used and simple procedure.

Get PriceA mix with sufficient slump to flow easily into place is needed. As concrete flows from the tremie pipe the end of the pipe is buried in the mass. Gradually the mix flows out toward the edges to fill the forms and as the concrete builds up, the pipe is raised sufficiently to keep its delivery end buried about 3 feet.
