Abstract (en)

A system for installation of piles (12) to be extended into a seabed (B), comprising a guiding apparatus (20) having a plurality of pile guiding elements (24) interconnected by connection elements (19, 22). Each guiding element (24) has respective guiding means (27) and respective support elements (32) for supporting the apparatus on the seabed (B), and the system also comprises control- and power means (54, 56) for connection to the guiding apparatus (20). The guiding apparatus (20) comprises position-sensing means (36) and inclination-sensing means (46) operably connected via control means (49) to the guiding elements (24), whereby the guiding elements' (24) horizontal and vertical positions may be adjusted and the guiding apparatus (20) may brought into a level state on the seabed.
