Albert was born to Paul Auguste Ondrine Caquot and his wife, Marie Irma (nee Cousinard).

From 1905 to 1912, he was a project manager in Troyes (Aube) and was pointed out for civil work improvements he undertook with the city sewer system.

In the course of his career as a designer, he designed more than 300 bridges and facilities, among which several were world records at the time: Two prestigious achievements made him famous internationally: the internal structure of the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) at the peak of Corcovado Mountain (1931)[3] and the George V Bridge on the Clyde River in Glasgow (Scotland) for which the Scottish engineers asked for his assistance.

In his late eighties, he developed a gigantic tidal power project to capture the tide energy in Mont St Michel bay, in Normandy.

He noticed the poor wind behavior of these sausage shaped captive balloons, which were ineffective except in calm conditions.

France manufactured "Caquot dirigibles" for all the allied forces, including the English and United States armies, for three years.

He implemented a research, prototypes, and mass production policy, which contributed quickly to France's leadership in the aeronautical industry.

His main accomplishments are: In 1933, after a budget cut prevented him from proceeding with his projects, he resigned and returned to structural engineering for several years.
