Floating box footings speed bridge construction
Description of technique developed for construction of 10 piers of Benicia-Martinez Bridge in Northern California; reinforced concrete boxes, 44 by 86 by 25 ft, are cast on dry land, launched like ships, and towed to bridge site by tugs and then anchored in place; 6 ft diam steel caissons up to 140 ft long are lowered to bedrock through cells fixed into concrete boxes and finally boxes are filled with concrete to be firmly seated on these legs.
