| The sunken panels were sometimes also called caissons, or lacunaria, and a coffered ceiling might be referred to as lacunar. |
| The caissons themselves are socketed into rock located 1.2 or 2.4 m below ground, depending on the location. |
| The housing consists of prefabricated concrete caissons which are inset in the lagoon floor and contain service tunnels and machinery. |
| The caissons were huge hollow reinforced concrete blocks that were floated across the channel and then sunk when in position. |
| These floats transported the great floating concrete caissons which formed the sea walls of the Mulberry Harbours. |
| Concrete grade beams spanning between the caissons were used to accommodate external envelope conditions and elevator pits. |
