From a report on decommissioning a reactor pressure vessel:

This is a heading in the contents list:
"Remplissage du caisson en tout venant". In the relevant section, the only other mention to this phrase is "Le caisson est rempli en tout venant grace au pont roulant de 300 tonnes". Has anyone ever come across this phrase or have any idea what it means?
Many thanks.
