Tremie Concrete
Underwater Concrete Mixes:
Structural concrete
Coarse Aggregate: Gravel of 3/4” max. size.
Use 50-55 % of the total aggregate by weight.
Fine Aggregate: Sand, 45-50% of the total
aggregate by weight.
Cement: Type II ASTM (moderate heat of hydration),
600 lbs/yd3.
Pozzolans: ASTM 616 Type N or F, 100 lbs/ yd3.

Tremie Concrete
Water/Cement Ratio: 0.42 (0.45 Maximum).
Water-Reducing Admixture (preferably it is also
plasticizer): Do not use superplasticizers.
Air-Entrainment Admixtures: To give 6% total air.
Retarding Admixture: To increase setting time to
4-24 hours, as required.
Slump: 6 1/2 in. ± 1 in.
This mix will develop compressive strength in the
range of 5,600 – 7,000 psi at 28 days.
It will flow out on a slope of 6:1 to 8:1 horizontal/
vertical and, if properly placed, should give
nominal segregation and laitance.

Tremie Pipe
Breaking Tremie Tube - In this operation the contractor is removing a 20' section from the 140' + tremie
tube to continue the first full depth placement in the UR pylon. Concrete placed will be about 400 CYs.
