A device for reducing underwater sound has a holding device and a hydrosound damper with noise reducing elements. The device has a transport housing for transporting the hydrosound damper, a first end of the underwater sound damper being fixed to the transport housing and the transport housing being connected to a holding device via a support device has a cable winch with a support cable arranged on the transport housing and has a motor-driven drum, wherein using the support device, the transport housing is lowered from the holding device to the sea floor.

A jackable building foundation system includes a steel beam support frame platform to which one or more platform jacks are attached. Vertical movement of the platform in response to jacking is constrained by cuboidal column guides at the four corners. Each of the column guides comprises two tiers of square roller frames, within each of which is an I-beam engaged between the flanges on either side by two rollers supported on horizontal axes. The orientations of the I-beams and rollers alternate orthogonally at each corner of the platform, so that torques generated by uneven jacking are suppressed and do not result in jamming of the platform as it rises. The system is remotely controlled and monitored by a digital device, such as a smartphone, using application software.

A ground anchoring element for a small-building's subframe allowing the small-building to be stationarily attached to the ground, the anchoring element comprising a bracket, a bracket nut, a threaded rod, adjustment nuts, a support plate with an opening, the threaded rod going through the opening and a tie for the support plate. One end of the threaded rod is in the bracket nut and the other in the ground. The bracket fastened to the subframe of a small-building can be an angled-joint bracket or a straight-joint bracket.
