Tremies

HOW TO SHORTEN A TREMIE

To reduce the tremie's length, sections will be removed from the top of the tremie.


  • The tremie is supported by a pair of chains.

 

To begin shortening the tremie:

  • Remove the funnel
  • Clip the lifting bar to the tremie section.

 

  • Raise the tremie an inch in order to relieve the load on the chains.
  • Unclip the support chains.
  • Raise the tremie to the desired height.

 

  • Re-attach the chains to the tremie.
  • Lower the hoisting cable, in order to transfer the load to the chains.

 

  • Remove the sections above the chains.
  • Re-install the funnel.
