Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012069473A1] The invention relates to a device for tensioning and clamping an elongate element (3) of tubular shape intended to be placed on the bottom of an expanse of water from a surface laying installation, characterized in that it comprises six caterpillar tracks (11) uniformly distributed about a circumference and leaving between them a space for the passage of the elongate element, each caterpillar track being driven in its rotation by drive means (17, 18) incorporated into said caterpillar track (11) and being carried by a reinforcing chassis that can be moved between a passive retracted position of the caterpillar track (11) and an active position in which said caterpillar track (11) is pressed against the elongate element.
