What are Caissons?

Caissons are deep foundation elements used in construction to provide stable support where traditional foundations are insufficient. They transfer structural loads to deeper, more stable soil or rock layers.

Benefits of Caissons:

  • Load-Bearing Capacity: Caissons support heavy structural loads by reaching stable soil or rock layers.
  • Settlement Resistance: They minimize the risk of uneven settlement in weak or compressible soils.
  • Versatility: Suitable for various ground conditions, including soft soils and rock formations.
  • Space Efficiency: Ideal for limited-access or densely built areas due to their small footprint.
  • Stability and Longevity: Provide a secure and long-lasting foundation.
  • Risk Mitigation: Effective in areas prone to soil instabilities like landslides or liquefaction.
