Abstract:
A resting device ( 1 ) of at least one portion of a linear structure ( 2 ) is for crossing an uneven underwater topography. The resting device ( 1 ) is suitable for supporting at least one portion of the linear structure ( 2 ) that defines a longitudinal direction (X-X) coincident with or parallel to the longitudinal development direction of the linear structure ( 2 ). The resting device ( 1 ) includes at least one buoyant element ( 3 ) and at least one tether ( 4 ), suitable for constraining the resting device ( 1 ) to a bed ( 5 ). The at least one buoyant element ( 3 ) is suitable for providing a sufficient buoyancy to keep the at least one tether ( 4 ) under tension. A deck ( 6 ) has a shape and material that allows distributed resting of at least one portion of the linear structure ( 2 ) on the resting device ( 1 ).

Claim (Index 20):
The method according to  claim 19 , comprising at least one of the following further steps:\n locating a bed that comprises an uneven underwater topography; and/or connecting at least one tie rod to at least one disconnectable installation line; and/or lowering said at least one tie rod in a mass of water, at or in proximity to said uneven underwater topography; and/or anchoring said at least one tie rod of said resting device to said bed by said at least one anchoring element; and/or disconnecting said at least one tie rod from said at least one disconnectable installation line; and/or connecting at least one buoyant element to said at least one tie rod; and/or connecting at least one removable ballast to said at least one resting device; and/or connecting said at least one resting device to at least one disconnectable installation line; and/or lowering said at least one resting device in said mass of water at said uneven underwater topography of said bed; and/or connecting said at least one resting device to said at least one tie rod anchored to said bed; and/or disconnecting at least one removable ballast from said at least one resting device; and/or disconnecting said at least one buoyant element from said tie rod anchored to said bed; and/or connecting said plurality of distributed floats to at least one portion of said linear structure; and/or lowering said linear structure in said mass of water; and/or placing a second section of said linear structure on said bed in proximity to or at a knee of said bed; and/or maintaining said linear structure under tension such that said at least one detachment portion of said linear structure is oriented in a substantially horizontal direction; and/or resting said at least one first section on said resting device; and/or connecting said at least one buoyant element to said resting device.
