Work Methodology

Unfortunately, today’s TREMIX scene has been hijacked by one-time labour operators, knowing
nothing about the actual significance of the process. These fly-by-night operators have access to the
equipment but not to the technology & perform works at low rates, which are always attractive to
clients. Many a times, vacuuming, the very heart of the process is not done. To incorporate the
technical aspects of this fine process & give you the ‘real thing’ Henceforth Veenaa Group has
decided to carry out all the Tremix related work under one umbrella. Being qualified civil
engineers, we understand & know the theory behind the process. Significance of dewatering is
clearly understood.

Brief about TREMIX


Tremix (Vacuum Dewatered) Flooring Overview
A high quality concrete floor or pavement requires not only to be level but it should also have high
wear resistance, high compressive strength, reduced shrinkage, minimum water permeability and
should be free of pores. The following paragraphs explain the method and benefits of this process.

Why use Vacuum Dewatered flooring?


The Vacuum Dewatered (VD) Flooring method, is a system for laying high quality concrete floors
with superior cost-effectiveness. The key to the use of this method is the dewatering of concrete by
vacuum process surplus water from the concrete is removed immediately after placing and
vibration, reducing the water: cement ratio to an optimum level. Therefore, adopting the VD
Flooring method facilitates use of concrete with better workability than what is normally possible.
A lowered water to cement ratio due to vacuum dewatering leads to improvement in each of the
concrete properties listed above.

The Procedure
The method involves laying the floor in the following sequence :

» Concreting in the conventional way but with a higher slump so that


workability is good and concrete pouring and spreading is done fast.
» Poker Vibration (especially on both sides of the panel) is always essential for
floor thickness of 100 mm and above.
» Surface Vibration using Double Beam Surface Vibrator.
» Levelling the vibrated surface with a straight Edge.
Vacuum Dewatering using Vacuum Pump and Suction Mat Top Cover &
»
Filter Pads.
» Floating and Trowelling of the concrete pavements using Skim floaters.

The Benefits

» Compressive strength of floor increases by upto 60%


» Tensile strength increases by @ 70%
Cement consumption is reduced to the extent of 40%, no cement is required
»
separately for finishing the surface.
Abrasion resistance of the floor increases by @ 60% resulting in les wear
»
and rear of the floor surface
» Shrinkage of concrete is reduced and floor wraps less.
