Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2913439A1] The invention relates to a device for carrying under water a positioning framework which is configured to arrange foundation piles ordered in a geometric pattern in an underwater bottom. The device comprises a floating body with sufficient buoyancy to float on a water surface and provided with anchor means which can hold the floating body in position relative to the underwater bottom. The device further comprises an elongate guide construction for the positioning framework which is connected to the floating body and can be lowered onto the underwater bottom. The guide construction has on an underside thereof a support means which fixes the underside in the underwater bottom and allows a rotation around an axis running perpendicularly of a longitudinal axis of the guide construction. The invention also relates to a method for arranging foundation piles in an underwater bottom.
