Caisson and Grade Beams in Long Beach, Los Angeles, Glendale
How are Caisson and Grade Beams used for foundation repair in California?
Caissons are deep foundation supports that are constructed by placing fresh concrete and reinforcing steel into a drilled shaft. These reinforced concrete piles are cast in holes of predetermined diameters and depths drilled through soil and rock to the desired bearing stratum.
Caissons, which are capable of supporting high, concentrated loads, are typically used to set piers for bridges, underpasses, structural supports, as well as in slide prevention applications. Caissons are viewed as a reliable, versatile, and economical foundation support solution.
Caissoning work is the process of drilling 24”-36” round holes in the ground all the way to the bedrock and is used to prevent a house from sinking, especially houses on hills.
