The invention relates to a device () for transporting, in particular skidding or jacking, a heavy object () supported on at least one guide (), comprising an actuator () for effecting transport, in particular at least one hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is configured for connection to the object () or a foundation and the other end is connected to a shoe () configured for connection to the guide (). The shoe () comprises at least two pins () configured to be inserted into openings () in the guide () to provide, at least in the direction of the guide () a positive connection between the shoe () and the guide ().

A method of installing foundation elements, in particular (mono)piles having a diameter of five meters or more, in an underwater ground formation includes lowering a leader from a surface vessel with at least the tip of the leader into the water, and lowering a foundation element and/or a noise mitigation screen along the leader.

Method of and system for installing foundation elements in an underwater ground formation

A method and apparatus for coupling a jacket with a foundation pile, comprising mounting a first flange with the jacket, contacting a second flange with the foundation pile such that the second flange is supported by the foundation pile, mutually positioning the first flange and the second flange such that the jacket may be supported by the pile through the first flange and the second flange, arranging an inflatable spacing member between the first flange and second flange such that the spacing member contacts both the first flange and second flange for supporting the jacket through the spacing member and inflating the spacing member for increasing a spacing between the first flange and second flange.

Temporarily coupling between jacket and pile and method of coupling

The invention relates to a lifting tool for lifting or upending a flanged object, the lifting tool extending along a central longitudinal tool axis and comprising;

Flange lifting tool

In a clamp system for a slender object (), such as a pile or pipe and the like, a clamp () and the object are to be applied around one another. The clamp has a frame () defining an axial direction. Furthermore, gripping devices () are provided which are spaced in circumferential direction of the frame (). A stop () defines an end position of the gripping device (), the gripping device () in gripping state and positioned in the end position prevents the object () from displacing with respect to the frame () in a first axial direction of the passage (), in which first axial direction the gripping device () is held pressed against the stop (), and the gripping device () allowing the object () to displace with respect to the frame in the second axial direction opposite the first axial direction.

Clamp system, gripping device therefore and method of using the clamp system

Disclosed is a clamping device for clamping a tubular member, like a thin walled tube or a pile, having a tube wall and provided with a flange at a tube end, and for hoisting the tubular member while being clamped only at its flange with the clamping device, wherein the clamping device includes: at least two clamping elements for engaging the internal flange and clamping the flange; and a clamping device frame that fixedly joins the at least two clamping elements for maintaining mutual position of the at least two clamping elements while hoisting the tubular member.
