This was the first time that this mode of caissons
construction was realized in Greece. However, 48 caissons were built and
installed in 265 working days with an average of 5.5 working days per caisson
and decreasing trend line. The time needed for the construction of the caissons
was a record even in the international standards on this specific machine.
The high speed of construction allowed the construction company to keep
the timetable, since the inability to succeed in the vibro compacted method
and the extremely increased amounts of excavations and ripraps delayed the
project's progress, compared to the initial estimates.
