TREMIX DETAIL FOR BASEMENT ONE

Tremix flooring is a specialized type of concrete flooring often used in basement construction due to its durability, dust-free finish, and ability to withstand heavy loads. The Tremix process involves a vacuum dewatering system that removes excess water from freshly laid concrete, resulting in a denser, stronger, and more wear-resistant surface.

In architectural applications for basements, this method is particularly favored for parking areas, storage rooms, and service zones where a hard, level surface is essential.

The process typically includes spreading a well-mixed concrete layer, leveling it with a screed, applying vacuum dewatering through a vacuum mat and pump, and then finishing the surface with power trowels for smoothness.

The final result is a monolithic, high-strength concrete floor that minimizes dust, reduces maintenance, and increases the lifespan of the basement flooring. Proper curing and joint cutting are crucial steps to avoid cracks and ensure long-term performance.

TREMIX DETAIL FOR BASEMENT ONE

Tremix detail for basement detail drawing – 1

Tremix detail for basement in construction drawings refers to the technical representation of how a Tremix concrete floor is constructed in a basement setting. These drawings are crucial for ensuring the proper execution of the Tremix process on site and typically include cross-sectional and plan views with detailed notations.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s usually included in a Tremix detail drawing for a basement:

Typical Tremix Detail Components in a Drawing:

Sub-base Preparation:

  • Well-compacted earth or moorum layer.
  • Granular sub-base (GSB) or coarse sand (usually 100–150mm thick) for drainage and leveling.
  • Anti-termite treatment if specified.

PCC (Plain Cement Concrete) Layer:

  • Often a 100mm thick M10 grade concrete base.
  • Acts as a leveling surface for the Tremix floor.

Tremix Flooring Layer:

  • Concrete Layer: Generally 100–150mm thick, using M20–M25 grade concrete.

Surface Finishing:

  • Mechanical vibration and screeding.
  • Vacuum dewatering using Tremix equipment.
  • Power troweling for smooth finish.
  • Sometimes, dry shake hardeners are applied for surface strength.

Construction/Expansion Joints:

  • Shown at regular intervals to prevent cracks.
  • Detailed with joint fillers (e.g., bitumen board) and sealant.

Curing Notes:

  • Wet curing methods like covering with wet hessian cloth for a minimum of 7 days.

Reinforcement (if applicable):

  • May include welded wire mesh or steel bars depending on load conditions.

Slope Details:

  • Indicated if drainage is required, typically 1:100 slope towards a drain or sump.

How It Appears on a Drawing:

  • Section View showing all layers from sub-base to finished floor level.
  • Material specifications and layer thicknesses marked clearly.
  • Annotations for equipment used (like vacuum pump line).
  • Dimensioning of joint spacing and slab panels.
  • Drainage provisions or slope directions indicated with arrows.
