As a leading caisson consultant and caisson contractor in Toronto & the GTA, we are proficient in the most advanced techniques for drilled caissons and shoring systems.

What are Caissons?

Caissons are large holes drilled deep in the ground for foundation elements and are usually reinforced with steel cages. Reinforced steel is placed in the hole, and new concrete is poured around it so that the caisson can support heavy, concentrated loads such as bridges, highways, high-rise buildings and more.

How are Caissons Constructed?

Caissons can be constructed using mud drilling and cased or open holes. As an excavation support system, caisson walls are constructed by drilling holes vertically to form an interlocking secant wall. This helps create a rigid shoring system that holds back loose material and caving soils, offering strength and stability in massive projects. This makes caisson solutions a great option for residential engineering applications and hillside retaining walls.

Why Choose Drilled Caissons for Your Project?

Foundation drilling and caisson solutions offer unique advantages that make them a preferred choice for even the most challenging construction projects in Toronto and the GTA. 

• Unmatched Strength: Caisson foundations are engineered to support heavy loads, providing a stable base that reduces the risk of shifting or settling over time, ideal for high-rise buildings and large structures.
• Outstanding Durability: Built to reach stable ground even in unstable soil conditions, drilled caissons prevent common issues like water infiltration and soil erosion for dependable stability.
• Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness: Despite a higher initial investment, the durability and reduced maintenance of caisson foundations offer cost savings over the life of a structure.
• Versatility and Efficiency: The adaptable design of caisson solutions allows for customization to your project needs and efficiency in the project timelines.
• Superior to Traditional Foundations: Traditional methods may be enough for less demanding projects, but drilled caisson foundations provide reliability and safety where it matters most, especially in challenging environments.
