Caisson shaft sinking is the preferred method generally for smaller diameter shafts, especially in poor ground conditions, for example sands and gravels with a high water table.
For shafts larger than 15.00m diameter the Underpinning construction method is used, however ground conditions must be suitable, for example firm clays or rock and preferably dry.
