caisson

Carolla visited a construction site on the beach that was installing 30 caissons six stories deep into the ground.

In 2021, workers started drilling underground through two major railway systems—the Metro-North Railroad and the Long Island Rail Road—and installing caissons 100 feet into the bedrock.

Eyer’s body in a flag-draped coffin was brought from police headquarters on a horse-drawn caisson three blocks to the church where the late evangelist Billy Graham held his first crusade.

The service is also getting lighter-weight caissons and conducting more extensive training for the soldiers to ride and take care of the horses.

The Army is also working on obtaining a lighter caisson to put less strain on the horses and developing new saddles and other tack to better prevent horse injuries, Pepin said.
