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.

What is electro-pneumatic control?
The pneumatic system controlled by electronic systems.
When were pneumatic cylinders invented?
The first patent for the pneumatic cylinder was issued in 1940 in the US to Samuel Clegg and Jacob Selvan. Alfred Beach was given a patent in 1865 for a pneumatic subway train using a giant pneumatic tube.
What does hydraulic and pneumatic systems have incommon?

Are all air valves pneumatic?
Pneumatic is defined as air driven and therefore the two terms are synonomous. However pneumatic is not as frequently used in describing a valve.
What is the size of a pneumatic actuator?
The size is different. This depends on the air pressure in the pneumatic system.
What are the types of caissons?
Caissons are one of the types of deep foundation for construction into some wet or watered site. Three types of caissons are generally found in construction: 1. open caisson 2. bar caisson 3. pneumatic caisson
