Abstract: For driving of ramming parts under water, a first ramming device is suspended on the supporting element and a second ramming device is suspended on a further supporting element, a submergible electrohydraulic drive unit is located laterally near or under one of the ramming device and connected with both ramming devices by hose conduits, the ramming devices with the drive unit are lowered so that at least one ramming device is placed on one ramming part and after driving it in over a predetermined path it is transferred to another ramming part, while the other ramming device drives further the first ramming part or a further ramming part, and both ramming devices are driven one after the other or simultaneously with one another by the same drive unit.

Abstract: For separating tubular foundation piles under water, a working device with a downwardly extending supporting shaft and at least one separating tool is placed on an upper edge of the pile so that the separating tool is inserted into the supporting shaft, and then the working device is clamped on the pile and the separating tool is rotated about a longitudinal axis of the supporting shaft to penetrate through the wall of the pile.

Abstract: A submergible electrohydraulic drive unit is a multi-purpose device for driving different underwater ramming and working devices and has a housing with a throughgoing central receiving space for a ramming pile or a respective ramming or working device, ring-shaped upper and lower supporting plates, an outer wall, an inner wall which forms the receiving space, and a plurality of pump units arranged between the inner wall and the outer wall and each having a hydraulic pump and an associated electric motor and individually or jointly limitedly movably spring-biased relative to the housing, one supporting plate having means for exchangeably mounting said device adjusted relative to said receiving space.
