Abstract:The construction method of open caisson is more and more applied in the development and construction of municipal water supply, drainage and cable channel. But there is relatively little literature on its experience in survey, design and construction. From the perspective of the survey, design and construction, combined with a case of cable channel project for the first-class urban power grid, the comparison and selection of foundation pit design schemes, and the precautions for the design and construction of open caisson are introduced. The technical elements related to deep well dewatering and water-stop curtains in the first terrace of the Changjiang River are discussed, and a brief summary and the feasible suggestions are given, which provides the reference for the technical personnel involved in open caisson engineering.
