Abstract (en)

The invention pertains to a driver for installing foundation elements, such as anchors or piles, in a ground formation and preferably in submerged condition, comprising a housing for accommodating and guiding a weight (18), an element for mounting the driver on or in a foundation element, one or more chambers (12) for holding a charge (13) or one or more connectors for connecting the driver to a source of a high pressure gas, and corresponding conduits (16,17) allowing a high pressure gas to flow from the chamber(s) (12) or connector(s) to below the weight (18). The housing is adapted to allow a stroke of the weight (18) having a length such that, during upward movement of the weight (18), the pressure of the gas drops to a value, which will cause the weight (18) to decelerate.
