A watertight chamber used for carrying out construction work under water (7)

I believe the answer is:

caisson

(Other definitions for caisson that I've seen before include "Structure excluding water from construction" , "So I scan the ammunition wagon" , "Water-excluding case" , "watertight chamber" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
