The document describes the process of constructing pylons for bridges. It involves welding steel casings together on-site to form large diameter pipes up to 50 meters in length and 50 meters in height. These pipes are placed underwater and filled with concrete to form foundation structures called caissons. The process uses a mechanized autodrive welding mechanism to efficiently weld the steel sheets together from within a protective cage lowered into each pipe. Reinforcing rings are also added concentrically inside the pipes before they are filled with concrete to set, then extracted to complete the caisson pylons to support the bridge structures.
