Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03086852A1] A method for erecting an object, in particular a lifting frame, comprising the steps of: providing a floatable object having a base and a top; providing a submersible vessel; placing the floatable object on the vessel; transporting the vessel with floatable object to a desired location; ballasting the vessel to permit the floatable object to float; securing the base of the floatable object to the vessel; securing a hoist line between the floatable object and a winch on the vessel; winching the hoist line and thereby raising the floatable object top from the water while the base remains secured to the vessel. In a preferred embodiment the floatable object is a lifting frame, in particular an A-frame. Preferably the vessel is a catamaran.
