Abstract:
1. A device for manufacturing a foundation for a mass located at height, wherein the foundation comprises a quantity of piles driven into an underwater bottom in a geometric pattern, said device comprising a positioning framework of a number of mutually connected guide tubes arranged in the geometric pattern and adapted to receive and guide a pile to be driven into the underwater bottom, wherein the guide tubes comprise a mechanism with which at least an internal wall part of the guide tubes is displaceable in a radial direction of the guide tubes from a radially inward support position for the pile to a radially more outward position in which the internal wall part substantially releases the pile, wherein the internal wall part of the guide tubes comprises support ribs extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the guide tubes, wherein the mechanism comprises a ring outside of the internal wall, which when engaged, the ring moves the support ribs to a radially more inward position in the internal wall, and the guide tubes comprise recesses in a peripheral casing thereof, in which recesses the support ribs can be received.
