They're drilling and pouring caissons before digging to the lowest foundation level? Is that what they do? Doesn't seem to make sense to me--not that it should.

From the photos, I assumed they were just pouring concrete or mortar into the shoring/retaining walls, and drilling holes to place shoring posts or break up some rock in the way of the ultimate big dig (or perhaps for exploratory purposes). But what do I know?
