Caisson foundation construction works as observed by the engineers are considered as the most difficult and complicated work in construction field. Caissons are sunk through ground or water to exclude water during the process of excavation of foundations and which becomes a part of substructure .In this paper, a brief description of the caisson foundation is done which is used nowadays in construction .The general description of all types of caisson foundation in detail, its new technical aspects, improvement in new techniques and also its advantages and disadvantages are discussed. The aim of this paper is to focus on a new type of substructures based on caisson foundation, to learn about new technique based on this type of foundation.
