General Information

Summary:	Caissons, or drilled shafts, are a type of structures’ foundation consisting of a concrete shaft (with or without steel casings and with or without rock sockets) formed within a drilled excavation. Caissons can be used when deep foundations are required or for stream environments where large cofferdams would be required, etc. This Webinar will provide the basic design considerations for caissons, including the costs. The construction of drilled caissons, including the equipment required, will be discussed. The inspection and construction issues of caissons will also be presented. Specific PennDOT project examples will be provided, along with PennDOT’s future direction for caissons.
Learning Outcomes:	Upon successful completion of this course, the attendee will: 1. Provide a brief overview of the constructability issues to be considered in design. 2. Present the typical costs associated with caisson construction. 3. Discuss the critical steps of inspection for caisson construction. 4. Present the future direction for caisson construction within PennDOT.
Target Audience:	All professional licensees in PennDOT and anyone interested in learning about Caisson Construction in PennDOT.
