Moreover, our team delivers complete solutions engineered for strength, durability, and safety.

What Are Caissons?

Caissons are deep foundation elements created by drilling vertical shafts and reinforcing them with steel cages. After drilling, we place the reinforcement and pour high-strength concrete to form a solid column. As a result, the caisson supports heavy loads for bridges, retaining walls, and high-rise foundations—even in soft soils or high-water table conditions.

How We Construct Caissons

Our crews construct drilled caissons using cased, open-hole, or slurry methods based on geotechnical data. In addition, we integrate caisson walls into shoring systems—such as secant or tangent walls—to retain soil and control groundwater. Consequently, your excavation remains stable and ready for the next phase.

Why Choose Drilled Caissons

• Unmatched Strength: Caisson foundations support high loads and resist shifting—ideal for towers, bridges, and industrial structures.
• Outstanding Durability: They bear on competent strata and reduce water infiltration or erosion.
• Long-Term Value: Although upfront costs can be higher, reliability reduces maintenance and settlement risks.
• Design Flexibility: We tailor diameters, depths, and reinforcement to your loads and soil conditions.
• Superior Performance: Compared with shallow foundations, drilled caissons excel in complex ground conditions.

Our Proven Caisson Construction Process

Every project begins with coordinated reviews of drawings, geotechnical reports, and schedules. Furthermore, we plan sequencing, access, spoil management, and concrete logistics to control cost and quality. During construction, our specialists operate advanced drilling rigs, place reinforcing cages, and pour concrete under strict supervision. Therefore, we deliver code-compliant, structurally sound foundations—on time and within budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a caisson?
Caissons transfer loads to firm strata and provide stable support in soft or waterlogged soils; therefore, they improve reliability and service life.

How long does construction take?
Timelines depend on depth, soil, and site access. However, we assess your conditions and provide a clear schedule before drilling.

Are caissons suitable for residential projects?
Yes. In fact, caissons are ideal for hillside homes, basements, and additions that require robust support.
