..., or precast are less certain to reach bearing in good condition. Caissons can be used but are subject to overruns and delays in some formations. In many areas, pulled and load-tested piles have proved the value of the tip-protected H for difficult driving. steel piles pile driving limestone...

... A high-rise building constructed in downtown Chicago was monitored for ground movements. The below-grade excavation consisted of two parts: the installation of drilled caissons through the underlying soft clay to hardpan, or in most cases to the limestone bedrock at a depth of 110 ft...
