Pneumatic caissons are primarily adopted in underwater construction projects, such as bridge piers, deep foundations, and tunnels. They are particularly useful in areas where the soil is unstable or saturated with water, as the pressurized air within the caisson allows workers to excavate safely below the water table. This method is commonly employed in the construction of offshore structures and in urban environments with significant water bodies.
