Tukikaivoja, often translated as "support wells" or "caisson wells," are specialized excavation structures used in civil engineering and construction. They are particularly employed in situations where it is necessary to excavate deep shafts or foundations in challenging ground conditions, such as water-bearing soil, soft clay, or unstable sand. The primary function of a tukikaivo is to provide a stable, watertight, and structurally sound excavation pit that allows for the safe construction of underground elements like bridge piers, tunnels, or deep basements.
