A frame for guiding and supporting a foundation element, such as a pile, during installation in an underwater ground formation comprises a plurality of guide mechanisms that are movable between an extended position to engage a pile located inside the frame and a retracted position. At least one of the guide mechanisms comprises a slider, a path supporting the slider, a rotatable link, and an actuator to move the slider along the path and the link between said extended and retracted positions.

Lifting device for picking up a member from the bottom of the sea

The invention relates to a pile upending system for upending a pile such as a monopile for the foundation of offshore wind turbines, the pile upending system comprising;

Saddle and hook system

The invention relates to an upending system for an elongated tubular element like an offshore foundation pile or a turbine mast, the system comprising;

Pile upending system

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

A pile upending device for large diameter tubular elements includes;

Pile upending device

A shackle assembly including a shackle and a driving device coupled with the shackle for driving a bolt system, which driving device is arranged to reciprocate the bolt system along the longitudinal axis of the bolt system between a shackle installing position and a shackle releasing position, wherein the bolt system includes a locking unit for locking the bolt system in its shackle installing position, and wherein the shackle assembly includes elements for transforming reciprocating movement of the bolt system into rotation of the locking unit around the longitudinal axis of the bolt system between a bolt locking position and a bolt release position of the locking unit.

Shackle assembly

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.
