Building Paris Metro - Sinking the Central Caisson Beneath the Seine (1908)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the rich history of Paris's metro system and the engineering marvels of the early 20th century. This image, taken in 1908, documents the process of sinking the central caisson, or the main supporting structure, beneath the Seine River as part of the construction of the Metro. The Paris Metro, a vital component of the city's transportation infrastructure, was a groundbreaking project that began in 1898. The metro system was designed to alleviate the growing traffic congestion and improve the daily lives of Parisians. The construction process was a complex and intricate one, requiring innovative engineering solutions to overcome the challenges posed by the city's geography. In this photograph, we see the central caisson being lowered into the Seine River. The caisson, a massive concrete and steel structure, was sunk into the riverbed using a technique called caisson sinking. This method involved filling the caisson with water and gradually draining it as the structure was lowered into place. Once the caisson reached the riverbed, it was sealed and the water was pumped out, creating a watertight chamber that would serve as the foundation for the metro tunnel. The successful completion of this challenging phase of the construction process was a significant milestone in the development of the Paris Metro. The engineering feat demonstrated the ingenuity and determination of the construction team and paved the way for the completion of the metro line. Today, the Paris Metro is an integral part of the city's transportation network, carrying millions of passengers every day and connecting the diverse neighborhoods of Paris. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Paris's metro system and the remarkable engineering achievements of the past.
