CAISSONS SET FOR MAGNETIC TRAIN

Foundations for pillars to support the guideway of Ontario's experimental urban transit line are nearing completion. The primary foundation work involves installation of 481 caissons to support the 225 precast columns that carry the elevated guideway. The unlined caissons, also augered 2 feet into the bedrock have been straightforward for the most part. The main difference at these locations is the size of the reinforcing cage.
