Not illustrated. 1914 Excerpt: ...Louis Municipal bridge men worked at a maximum immersion of over 113 feet, the maximum gage pressure being 50 pounds, which is probably the world record for bridge caissons, with the possible exception of a bridge caisson in Denmark, where it is reported (Eng. News, vol. 26, page 467, Nov. 14, 1891) that a working depth of 115 feet was reached. Among other notable examples of deep immersions are the St. Louis arch bridge caissons, 109.7 feet; the Memphis bridge caissons, 106.4 feet; the Williamsburg bridge (New York) caissons, 107.5; an1l the Broadway bridge (Portland, Ore.) caissons, 101 feet.

The maximum pressure used was 52 pounds per square inch, a higher value than has probably ever been used in bridge or building caissons. As first applied the pneumatic caisson process was a very simple affair, the caisson consisting of a cast-iron cylinder, called a pneumatic pile, which formed both the working chamber and a section of the pier. The first used in this country were sunk in 1852 in the Pedee River, North Carolina. The St. Louis arch bridge was the first in this country to be founded on large pneumatic caissons, its east abutment caisson, which had a maximum immersion of 109 feet 8 inches, being sunk in 1870. The second bridge in this country to be founded on large pneumatic caissons was the great Brooklyn suspension bridge, which, in its New York tower caisson, sunk in 1871, has the largest pneuma...
