To ensure stability, it is necessary to secure the foundation properly to the floor of the ocean, lake, or river, so that the bridge does not get washed away by the flowing water.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigrentz.com\/blog\/underwater-construction\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Four major techniques<\/a> have been developed and refined over the years to build solid underwater foundations to suit the conditions and the type of bridge.<\/p><p><strong>Caissons<\/strong> are large hollow structures that are lowered into the water down to the ocean floor or river bed. Water flows around these structures, and inside them, workers can excavate through the loose sand to reach the solid bedrock. At that point, a caisson can be filled with concrete and it becomes part of the bridge\u2019s foundation. In a pneumatic caisson, compressed air is used to maintain pressure inside the caisson and keep water out.<\/p><p>A <strong>cofferdam<\/strong> is a temporary circular structure built in the water out of heavy timber, rocks, or, these days, steel. Like a dam, the cofferdam holds back the water, which flows around the space enclosed by it. Water is then pumped out of the enclosed area, making it dry and possible to work in, for example by pouring concrete or constructing a steel structure.<\/p><p>Both cofferdams and caissons are used because it is difficult for humans to build underwater. The third technique is a little different. Similar to driving a nail into a piece of wood, a pile driver is a machine that can drive hollow metal tubes called <strong>piles<\/strong> into the underwater bedrock from above. These steel tubes can then be filled with concrete to make it solid and add strength. In this way, there is no need to divert water at all.<\/p><p>The last technique is to build the foundation of a bridge off-site, for example in a factory, transport it to the body of water, load it on a barge and tow it out to where it is needed, and then lower the structure into the water down to the bottom. Once it has been lowered, the structure can be fastened to the bottom with piles, for instance.<\/p><p>Using these technologies, useful and beautiful bridges are being built, and Samsung C&amp;T is also applying these technologies to bridge construction. Let\u2019s continue to learn about the bridges built by Samsung C&amp;T Engineering &amp; Construction Group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ed8bc4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8ed8bc4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigrentz.com\/blog\/underwater-construction\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1560\" height=\"1081\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03-Methods-of-Construction.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-28014\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03-Methods-of-Construction.png 1560w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03-Methods-of-Construction-300x208.png 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03-Methods-of-Construction-1024x710.png 1024w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/03-Methods-of-Construction-1536x1064.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1560px) 100vw, 1560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Methods of underwater construction<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed89a9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ed89a9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container{height:100%;width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty{position:relative;min-height:22px;min-width:22px}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer.elementor-widget-empty .elementor-widget-empty-icon{position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;left:0;right:0;margin:auto;padding:0;width:22px;height:22px}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3de41e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3de41e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bridges built over water by Samsung C&T Engineering & Construction Group<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-318db8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"318db8a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Samsung C&amp;T Engineering &amp; Construction Group constructs world-class bridges over water.
