  • watertrem5Assemblies hang down
  • Remove the cables from the lowest section prior to building the tremie – they are not needed & could become snagged
  • Overall section diameter is 7″ greater than the tube diameter due to the protruding linking hardware – an 8″ dia. tremie requires a 15″ dia. clearance minimum
