TOTAL Shaft Sinking
Total Regen specializes in caisson shaft sinking, offering expertise in creating shafts from 2.5 to 25 meters in diameter. Ideal for pump stations, utility holes, and tunnel construction, caisson shafts are perfect for projects requiring Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) launch and removal. Our method ensures fast, clean, and accurate construction, even in poor ground conditions. Discover the advantages of caisson shaft systems, including quick construction times and reduced labor, suitable for permanent works structures in various civil engineering projects.

Our services include the installation of shafts ranging from 2.5 meters to 25 meters in internal diameter.
Applications of Caisson Shafts
Caisson shafts are a popular choice for various applications, such as pump stations, utility holes, and tunnel construction access. They are particularly beneficial for projects that require tunnel ‘eyes’ for Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) launch and removal, as well as robust thrust walls for pipejacking operations. The sturdy nature of caisson shafts also makes them suitable for permanent works structures once tunneling activities have been completed.
Caisson Shaft Construction Process
Caisson shaft sinking is frequently chosen for excavation projects where ground conditions are poor, such as sandy or gravel bases. Caissons are watertight structures ideal for constructing shafts in wet ground or underwater situations. During the construction process, concrete segments are sunk using a hydraulic ram, forming the primary support for the shaft. This technique allows us to create caisson shafts up to 25 meters in diameter.
Advantages of Caisson Shaft Systems
The use of caisson shaft systems offers several advantages:
- Fast, clean, and accurate construction
- Quick construction times
- Reduced labor time
- Immediate shaft creation
An alternative technique involves using a steel lining as the caisson, which remains in place throughout construction until the permanent structure is complete. This method is commonly employed in pumping stations and utility hole construction projects.
