    The document discusses adapted lift slab technology for bridge construction. It outlines some of the challenges with traditional methods like cofferdams and open caissons. It then provides details on how adapted lift slab technology works in a step-by-step process, including preparing a temporary system, sinking a pile cap, inserting supporting frames, and eventually lifting the pile cap into its permanent position. Adapted lift slab technology aims to provide a safer and more efficient alternative to building bridge foundations underwater.

    Original Description:

    presentation about bridges supports in water, it's methodology and some pictures for illustration.
