DWG · CAISSON-MTH-05DRAW 0%
01

Survey & geotechnics

Site investigation, geotechnical boring, hydrology and constraint mapping. Every program begins below grade — we model the ground before we model the structure.

  • LiDAR survey
  • Bore logs
  • Risk register
02

Engineering & VDC

Federated BIM, 4D scheduling and constructability review. Our virtual design & construction team resolves clashes in the model so the field never resolves them in concrete.

  • Federated BIM
  • 4D sequencing
  • Clash resolution
03

Foundations & substructure

Caissons, drilled shafts, diaphragm walls and pile caps. Self-performed below-grade work, surveyed to the millimetre and load-tested before a single column rises.

  • Drilled shafts
  • Dewatering
  • Load testing
04

Superstructure

Self-climbing cores, post-tensioned slabs and steel erection on a tuned cycle. Concrete, steel and envelope advance together under one integrated lift plan.

  • Jump-form core
  • PT decks
  • Steel erection
05

Commissioning & handover

Systems commissioning, digital twin, defect-zero close-out and operator training. We hand over a building that performs to the model — and a record set that proves it.

  • Digital twin
  • Cx & testing
  • As-built record

Drag the line.

Every CAISSON project starts as a surveyed plot and a geotechnical model. Drag the divider to scrub between the day-one site condition and the topped-out structure — the same coordinates, eighteen months apart.

06 — The firm

Engineers who
self-perform.

Founded in 1986 on a single bridge-pier contract, CAISSON grew by keeping the hardest work in-house. Today our 11,200 people pour their own concrete, drive their own piles and erect their own steel — so accountability never gets subcontracted away.

Dr. Renata Vasquez

Chief Executive Officer

Structural PhD, 30 years in long-span civil works. Joined as a junior engineer on the Meridian pier crews.

Marcus Adeyemi

Chief Operating Officer

Runs the self-perform divisions. Built the 3.1-day floor cycle that defines our high-rise programs.

Sofia Lindqvist

Director, VDC & Innovation

Leads digital delivery — federated BIM, 4D sequencing and the digital-twin handover standard.

James Okafor

Group Safety Director

Owner of the "everyone goes home" standard. Brought TRIR to a sector-leading 0.42.
