The word “caisson” came to us from the French language. Translated, it means “capacity” or “box”. This is a design isolated from water, which is installed in wet ground. Simply put, this is a waterproof container of a certain shape.

Cesson’s device is not at all complicated: everything is more than clear and logical. Basic elements: camera, its waterproofing and a special structure located above the caisson.
Often the caisson at the base has a round shape. Manufacturers assure that at a height of two meters and a diameter of one meter, optimal conditions are achieved, since there is a lot of places for storage, and a minimum is consumed excess material.
Waterproofing in the caisson protects it from moisture penetration. Waterproofing on the outer walls is applied. For these purposes, a hot asphalt or bitumen-bandage solution, or various bitumen mastics, is used. A layer of thermal insulation is also applied, having previously cleansed the surface of contaminants.

For the safety of products in the caisson, high -quality ventilation is required. In addition, you should pay attention to maintaining the optimal temperature regime and humidity level.
When using a metal caisson, which was poorly welded, the process of destruction from corrosion will begin to develop very quickly, as a result of which water will seep through it. Therefore, the metal should be well processed with special products for corrosion.
