Tremie II
Tremie II
(OP)
I am currently working on a project involving the construction of bored piles and I encountered this specification of "tremie II" in the construction drawing issued by the design engineer.
I searched high and low for the definition of "Tremie II" and am unable to find any information about it. I am aware of the tremie concreting method but not sure about the "II". Is there even a "I" and "II"?
Can someone please enlighten me about what it means?

Thank you in advance.

Okiryu is right, I'm in Malaysia. Basing on the web page Okiryu shared, I'm guessing the "II" might be describing the workability of the type of concrete best for tremie e.g. high slump.
I'll continue digging and share what I find here. Once again, thank you all for sharing.

And try to make sure the specs and dwgs are consistent... else, you may have to live with the specs...

Apparently, the number represents the slump of the concrete, considering the workability needed when dropping the concrete through tremie method.
Tremie I = 125mm +/- 25mm
Tremie II = 175mm +/- 25mm
Tremie III = according to the designer's specifications. If I remember correctly, if bi-directional static load test is employed, the test pile will require concrete with slump of 200mm due to the sacrifical jack. In this case, tremie III will be used.
He also said that in order to achieve the required slump, admixture are used although he did not go into details.
I am not sure if this is only common in Malaysia but if your country employs this categorization, please share.
Again, thank you for your feedback and help.
