    Question

    Long narrow diameter steel pipes are used for conveying fresh concrete down to deep depths, especially below water bodies. These pipes are called as -

    A.

    Pumping Pipes

    B.

    Transaction Pipe

    C.

    Tremie Pipe

    D.

    Down Pipe

    Correct option is C


    Definition of Tremie Pipe:
    A tremie pipe is a long steel pipe used to place fresh concrete underwater or at deep depths.
    The tremie method ensures that concrete is placed without segregation or washing away by water.
    Working Mechanism:
    The tremie pipe is filled with concrete, and the bottom of the pipe remains submerged in the fresh concrete during the placement process.
    This technique creates a continuous flow of concrete and minimizes disturbance to its mix.
    Pumping Pipes: Used for pumping concrete horizontally or vertically but not specifically for underwater concrete placement.
    Transaction Pipe: This term does not apply to construction or concrete placement.
    Down Pipe: A generic term, but it does not refer specifically to the tremie system for underwater placement.
