摘要

Method for stabilizing long thin piles when driving them into the sea floor underwater using pile hammers comprises intermediately guiding the pile using a guiding element which is pre-stressed by a flexible traction element at at least one location between the sea floor and the pile head. An independent claim is also included for a pile hammer for driving piles under water. Preferred Features: Pre-stressing is carried out using a weight or driving force. The pre-stress is placed between the guiding element and a driving body. The pile hammer is guided using the traction element.
