[0084] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 8B, a first embodiment of a system 1 with at least one device 2 for transferring an infrastructure component 4 supported in a pre-positioned manner on a ground 3 from an initial arrangement into a target arrangement is described. Further, a method for transferring the infrastructure component 4 from the initial arrangement into the target arrangement is described.

[0085] FIG. 1 shows three of the systems 1. The systems 1 each have an infrastructure component 4, which is designed as a track structure component, particularly as a track support slab, and five of the devices 2. The infrastructure components 4 are supported on the ground 3 exclusively by the devices 2. The ground 3 is a solid base, preferably made of concrete. The infrastructure component 4 comprises a slab base body 5, preferably comprising concrete, particularly reinforced concrete, a fastening device 6 for fastening rails 7 to the slab base body 5, and at least one, particularly five, mating connecting means 8 for fastening the devices 2.

[0086] The infrastructure component 4 preferably has a ground connecting device 9 with a layer of a rubber-elastic material for adjusting the strength, particularly for providing a separating layer, and/or the stiffness and/or the damping of a connection of the infrastructure component 4 to the ground 3. The ground connecting device 9 can be attached at least in sections to an underside of the infrastructure component 4.

[0087] The infrastructure components 4 are connected to the ground 3 by means of a filler 10, particularly by means of pourable concrete. A reinforcement 11, in particular a steel reinforcement, lies on the ground 3. In the vertical direction, the infrastructure component 4 overlaps the reinforcement 11 arranged between the ground 3 and the infrastructure component 4. The infrastructure component 4 and the reinforcement 11 are enclosed by a formwork 12 arranged on the ground 3. The respective infrastructure component 4, particularly the plate base body 5, has two recesses 13 for introducing the filler 10 into a free space 14 between the infrastructure component 4 and the ground 3.

[0088] The system 1 preferably comprises a measuring device 15 for recording the arrangement of the infrastructure component 4. The measuring device 15 is part of a combination 16, further comprising the devices 2. By means of the combination 16, the at least one infrastructure component 4 can be transferred into the target arrangement with special precision, particularly automatically. The measuring device 15 has a position determination unit 17 for determining the measuring position of the measuring device 15. The position determination unit 17 comprises a laser distance measuring device for recording distances between the measuring device 15 and land survey points 18, particularly to aiming windows 19 of reflector rods 20 arranged at the land survey points 18. The position of the measuring device 15 relative to the land survey points 18, particularly the position of the measuring device 15 in a global coordinate system, can be determined by means of the position determination unit 17.

[0089] The measuring device 15 further comprises a stereo camera 21. The stereo camera 21 is fastened to the position determination unit 17, particularly with a known relative arrangement. The stereo camera 21 comprises two digital cameras 22. The stereo camera 21 is designed to record the relative position of markings 23 to the measuring device 15, which are attached to the respective infrastructure component 4. Based on the relative position of the markings 23 to the measuring device 15 and the measuring position of the measuring device 15 in the global coordinate system, the arrangement of the respective infrastructure component can be determined in the global coordinate system.

[0090] The system 1 comprises a control unit 24 with a processor 25 for processing information using a corresponding software program, a memory 26 in which the software program and the recorded measuring data are stored, and a user interface 27 for exchanging information with a user. The measuring device 15 and the control device 24 are designed particularly to continuously determine the arrangement of at least one, particularly at least three, infrastructure components 4, particularly at a frequency of at least 0.1 Hz, particularly at least 0.5 Hz, particularly at least 1 Hz, particularly at least 10 Hz, particularly at least 100 Hz.

[0091] The control device 24 is preferably designed to compare the actual arrangement of the infrastructure component 4 with a nominal arrangement, particularly to determine an arrangement deviation. The arrangement deviation preferably comprises the deviation of a position and/or orientation of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the nominal arrangement, which is hereinafter also referred to as the target arrangement.

[0092] The control device 24 can be designed to indicate the arrangement deviation via the user interface 27, particularly a display, and/or to provide a control signal for automatically transferring the infrastructure component 4 into the target arrangement, particularly for reducing the arrangement deviation. The control device 24 can have a control communication interface 28 for outputting the control signal, particularly by cable or wirelessly. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the control communication interface 28 is designed as a wireless communication interface, particularly as a WiFi, ZigBee, or Bluetooth interface.

[0093] The respective device 2 has an actuating device 29 for absorbing a drive movement for transferring the infrastructure component 4. The actuating device 29 is designed to be driven manually, particularly by means of a spanner, and/or automatically, particularly by means of a drive unit 30. The drive unit 30 is shown as an example on one of the devices 2 in FIG. 1. A corresponding drive unit 30 is preferably arranged on each of the devices 2. This enables the infrastructure component 4, particularly a plurality of the infrastructure components 4, to be transferred into the target arrangement simultaneously, automatically, and particularly in a coordinated manner.

[0094] The drive unit 30 comprises at least one traction motor, particularly two traction motors, particularly electric motors for providing the drive movement, particularly two independent drive movements. The drive unit 30 can have an energy storage, particularly for providing electrical energy, particularly a battery, for supplying the at least one traction motor with the required drive energy. Preferably, the two drive movements are provided as coaxial rotary movements.

[0095] The drive unit 30 comprises a drive communication interface 31 for exchanging control information with the control device 24, particularly for receiving the control signals.

[0096] The device is described in greater detail in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5. The device 2 comprises the actuating device 29, a ground contact means 32 for supporting, particularly the infrastructure component 4, on the ground 3, a connecting means 33 for fastening the device 2 to the infrastructure component 4, and a transmission device 34 for converting a drive movement exerted on the actuating device 29 into a transferring movement of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3.

[0097] The actuating device 29 has a first actuating means 35 and a second actuating means 36. The first actuating means 35 and the second actuating means 36 each form a drive interface with an external hexagonal profile for absorbing a first rotary movement about a first axis of rotation 37 and for absorbing a second rotary movement about a second axis of rotation 38. The first axis of rotation 37 and the second axis of rotation 38 are arranged coaxially to each other.

[0098] The ground contact means 32 is designed to transfer the weight force of the system 1 to the ground 3, particularly to support the infrastructure component 4 on the ground 3. The ground contact means 32 has a contact spike 39 for secure connection to the ground 3. The ground contact means 32, particularly the contact spike 39, is arranged eccentrically to the first axis of rotation 37.

[0099] The connecting means 33 comprises, particularly consists of, an external thread 48. The external thread 48 can be designed as a metric thread. Preferably, an external diameter DA of the external thread is in a range from 10 mm to 50 mm, particularly from 15 mm to 40 mm, particularly from 20 mm to 30 mm.

[0100] The mating connecting means 8 of the infrastructure component 4 comprises, particularly consists of, an internal thread 50. The mating connecting means 8 is preferably designed to form a threaded connection with the connecting means 33. The dimensions of the mating connecting means 8 preferably correspond to the dimensions of the connecting means 33.

[0101] The diameter d.sub.I of a core hole of the internal thread 50 of the mating connecting means 8 is preferably in a range from 5 mm to 50 mm, particularly from 10 mm to 40 mm, particularly from 15 mm to 35 mm, particularly from 20 mm to 30 mm. A core diameter da of the external thread 48 of the connecting means 33 is dimensioned essentially in accordance with the diameter d of the core hole of the mating connecting means 8. The mating connecting means 8 preferably has a threaded insert 41 with the internal thread 50. The threaded insert 41 can be screwed or moulded into the plate base body 5.

[0102] In FIG. 3, the orientation of the eccentric ground contact means 32 about the first axis of rotation 37 is shown by means of a symbol in the form of a triangular wedge 42. Reference is made to this representation of the orientation of the ground contact means 32 in the following description of the method for transferring the infrastructure component 4.

[0103] The transmission device 34 has a first transmission means 43 for converting the first rotary movement into a first transferring movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4. The first transmission means 43 comprises a base body 44, to which the ground contact means 32 is attached eccentrically. The ground contact means 32 is formed in one piece with the base body 44, particularly these are connected via a substance-to-substance bond. The first transmission means 43 further comprises a shaft 45 for transmitting the first rotary movement between the first actuating means 35 and the base body 44. The shaft 45 has a circular cross-section. A first rotary movement about the first axis of rotation 37 transmitted to the first actuating means 35 can be converted by means of the first transmission means 43 into a first transferring movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 with a translatory movement component orientated perpendicular to the first axis of rotation 37.

[0104] The transmission device 34 has a second transmission means 46. The second transmission means comprises a hollow shaft 47 with an external thread 48. The external thread 48 of the second transmission means 46 is the external thread of the connecting means 33. This external thread 48 therefore has a dual function.

[0105] The second transmission means 46 is designed to convert a second rotary movement of the second actuating means 36 about the second axis of rotation 38 into a second transferring movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 with a translatory movement component orientated parallel to the second axis of rotation 38. In other words, the second transmission means 46 is designed to convert a rotary movement of the second actuating means 36 into a movement of the ground contact means 32 relative to the infrastructure component 4 along the second axis of rotation 38.

[0106] The hollow shaft 47 surrounds the shaft 45. Particularly, the shaft 45 is mounted to rotate in the hollow shaft 47, particularly by means of a plain bearing and/or a rolling bearing. Preferably, the shaft 45 is positively mounted in the hollow shaft 47 along the first axis of rotation 37, particularly on both sides.

[0107] The first axis of rotation 37 and the second axis of rotation 38 are essentially orientated perpendicular to a main extension plane 49 of the infrastructure component 4. This ensures that rotatably driving the first actuating means 35 causes the infrastructure component 4 to be transferred in the vertical direction. Rotatably driving the second actuating means 36 causes the infrastructure component 4 to be transferred in a horizontal direction.

[0108] The device 2 is designed for reversibly passing through the infrastructure component 4. For this purpose, the connecting means 33 completely overlaps all other elements of the device 2 arranged on the side of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the connecting means 33, particularly along the first axis of rotation 37 and/or along the second axis of rotation 38. Particularly, the connecting means 33 completely overlaps the base body 44 and the contact spike 39. Particularly, all elements of the device 2 which are located on the side of the ground contact means 32 with respect to the connecting means 33 lie along the first axis of rotation 37 and/or along the second axis of rotation 38 within the external diameter DA of the internal thread 50, particularly within the diameter d.sub.1 of the core hole, particularly within the core diameter da of the external thread 48 of the connecting means 33.

[0109] The device 2 passes through the through core hole of the infrastructure component 4 completely and reversibly detachable, particularly detachable in a non-destructive manner. Particularly, the device 2, particularly the connecting means 33, is designed for reversible, particularly non-destructive and/or disassembly-free, fastening of the device 2 to the infrastructure component 4. Particularly, the device 2 is designed to remove the infrastructure component 4 after the infrastructure component 4 has been cast with the ground 3 by means of the filler 10 and after the filler 10 has cured.

[0110] The overall length L of the device 2 is preferably in the range from 200 mm to 600 mm, particularly from 300 mm to 500 mm, particularly from 350 mm to 450 mm. A length 1 of the external thread 48 is preferably less than the total length L. The difference in length is preferably in a range from 10 mm to 200 mm, particularly from 20 mm to 100 mm, particularly from 30 mm to 60 mm.

[0111] The overall length L of the device 2 and/or the thread length 1 of the external thread 48 are preferably greater than the thickness t of the infrastructure component 4, particularly the plate base body 5, particularly the track support plate. The thickness t of the infrastructure component 4 is preferably in a range from 100 mm to 500 mm, particularly from 200 mm to 400 mm.

[0112] A distance c between the first actuating means 35 and the second actuating means 36, particularly along the first axis of rotation 37, is preferably in a range from 0 mm to 100 mm, particularly from 5 mm to 50 mm, particularly from 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0113] The mode of operation of the system 1, particularly the device 2, the combination 16, and the method for transferring the infrastructure component 4 is as follows:

[0114] By means of a transport device not shown, particularly by means of a running trailer and/or a crane and/or a multi-joint arm, a plurality of the infrastructure components 4 are pre-positioned on the ground 3 one after the other, particularly within an area shuttered for casting, preferably vertically overlapping the reinforcement 11.

[0115] In this pre-positioned arrangement, which is also referred to below as the initial arrangement, the respective infrastructure component 4 is supported on the ground 3 by means of the ground contact means 32 of the devices 2.

[0116] Five of each of the devices 2 are fastened to the respective infrastructure component 4. The devices 2 pass through the respective infrastructure component 4, particularly the plate base body 5 of the track support plate, in such a way that the ground contact means 32 protrudes downwards out of the infrastructure component 4. The actuating device 29 of the respective device 2 protrudes upwards out of the infrastructure component 4.

[0117] A drive unit 30 is attached to each of the actuating devices 29 and is in signalling connection with the control unit 24.

[0118] The measuring device 15 is located in a measuring position. The distance to the respective land survey points 18 is recorded by means of the position determination unit 17, particularly by recording the aiming windows 19 of the reflector rods 20. Based on the distances, the measuring position of the measuring device 15 is determined, particularly by means of the control device 24, particularly in a global coordinate system, and preferably stored in the memory 26 of the control device 24.

[0119] The arrangement of the respective infrastructure component 4 is recorded by means of the measuring device 15, particularly by recording the markings 23. Particularly, the stereo camera 21 records the position of the markings 23 relative to the measuring position of the measuring device 15. The arrangement of the infrastructure components 4, particularly the actual arrangement, is determined on the basis of the image evaluation and on the basis of the measuring position, particularly by means of the control device 24, particularly in a global coordinate system, and is preferably stored in the memory 26 of the control device 24.

[0120] The control device 24 determines the arrangement deviation between a nominal arrangement, particularly the target arrangement, and the actual arrangement of the infrastructure components 4. A control signal correlating with the arrangement deviation is determined by means of the control device 24. The control signal is transmitted to the respective drive unit 30, particularly via the wireless signal connection with the control communication interface 28 and the respective drive communication interface 31.

[0121] In accordance with the control signal, the drive unit 30 drives the first actuating means 35 and the second actuating means 36, particularly independently of one another, about the first axis of rotation 37 and about the second axis of rotation 38. Using the control signal, all drive units 30 act on the devices 2, particularly the actuating devices 29, in such a way that the infrastructure component 4 is transferred from the initial arrangement into the target arrangement.

[0122] Rotatably driving the first actuating means 35 causes the transferring of the infrastructure component 4 in the area of the respective device 2, particularly in the area of the associated mating connecting means 8 in the horizontal direction. Rotatably driving the second actuating means 36 of the respective device 2 causes the infrastructure component 4 to be transferred in the area of the respective device 2, particularly the associated mating connecting means 8, in the vertical direction.

[0123] Because the ground contact means 32 has the contact spike 39 arranged eccentrically to the first axis of rotation 37, the infrastructure component 4 is transferred in a circle around the contact spike 39 when the first actuating means 35 is rotatably driven. The radius of the circular movement corresponds to the distance r of the contact spike 39 from the first axis of rotation 37. The distance r is 10 mm. When the first actuating means 35 is fully rotated about the first axis of rotation 37, the infrastructure component 4 is transferred in the horizontal direction by +/10 mm relative to the ground 3 in the area of the corresponding device 2.

[0124] Preferably, the control device 24 is designed to control the drive units 30 in such a way that the overall required transferring movement of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3 and/or the transferring duration are minimized.

[0125] The infrastructure components 4 are transferred from the initial arrangement into the target arrangement. The target arrangement deviates from a nominal arrangement, particularly in the area of the markings 23, by a maximum of 5 mm, particularly by a maximum of 2 mm, particularly by a maximum of 1 mm, particularly by a maximum of 0.5 mm, from the nominal arrangement, particularly in a horizontal direction, particularly perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the rails 7.

[0126] The transferring of the respective infrastructure component 4 is described in greater detail with reference to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C. For better understanding, the five devices 2 are labelled individually and distinctly from one another as devices 2.1 to 2.5. The arrangement of the ground contact means 32, particularly the contact spike 39 around the first axis of rotation 37, is symbolized by the tip of the triangular wedge 42.

[0127] An x-direction and a y-direction of a Cartesian coordinate system, shown particularly in FIG. 6A, extend in the horizontal plane. The x-direction is orientated parallel to a longitudinal direction of the rails 7. The y-direction is orientated perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rails 7. A z-direction is orientated vertically, particularly upwards. The x-direction, the y-direction, and the z-direction form a right-handed coordinate system. Preferably, a main extension plane 49 of the infrastructure component 4, particularly of the plate base body 5, is essentially aligned parallel to the x-direction and to the y-direction, particularly to the horizontal plane.

[0128] In FIG. 6A, the system 1, particularly the infrastructure component 4 and the devices 2, is in the initial arrangement. The contact spikes 39 of each of the devices 2 are arranged at a distance from the respective first axis of rotation 37 in the direction opposite the y-direction. Accordingly, the triangular wedges 42 point in the direction opposite the y-direction.

[0129] The first actuating means 35 are driven in rotation about the first axis of rotation 37. The ground contact means 32, particularly the contact spike 39, is rotated by 90, particularly clockwise, about the first axis of rotation 37. The infrastructure component 4 is thereby transferred in the horizontal direction, particularly in the x-direction and in the y-direction, relative to ground 3.

[0130] FIG. 6B shows the system 1 in a first transferring arrangement. Compared to the initial arrangement, in the first transferring arrangement the infrastructure component 4 is transferred in the x-direction by x.sub.1=10 mm and in the y-direction by y.sub.1=10 mm.

[0131] The respective ground contact means 32, in particular the contact spike 39, is arranged at a distance from the first axis of rotation 37 in the direction opposite the x-direction. The triangular wedge 42 of the devices 2 points accordingly in the direction opposite the x-direction. The first actuating means 35 is further rotated about the first axis of rotation 37, particularly clockwise, particularly again by 90. This transfers the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3 opposite the x-direction and further opposite the y-direction.

[0132] In FIG. 6C, the system 1, particularly the infrastructure component 4, is shown in a second transferring arrangement. Compared to the initial arrangement, the infrastructure component 4 in the second transferring arrangement is transferred in the x-direction by x.sub.2=0 mm and in the y-direction by y.sub.2=20 mm. The ground contact means 32 is arranged at a distance from the first axis of rotation 37 in the y-direction.

[0133] In order to transfer the infrastructure component 4 over a greater, particularly horizontal, distance, particularly beyond twice the distance r between the first axis of rotation 37 and the contact spike 39, the devices 2 can be realigned, particularly one after the other. The realignment of the devices 2 is described with reference to FIG. 7A to FIG. 7C.

[0134] FIG. 7A shows the system 1 in the second transferring arrangement. To realign the device 2.1, it is transferred along the second axis of rotation 38 by rotatably driving the second actuating means 36, particularly upwards in the vertical direction. The ground contact means 32 of the device 2.1 is disengaged from the ground 3.

[0135] The first actuating means 35 is then rotatably driven in order to align the ground contact means 32 in accordance with the initial arrangement. The infrastructure component 4 retains its position and orientation in relation to the ground 3.

[0136] The second actuating means 36 is rotatably driven about the second axis of rotation 38 for lowering the device 2.1. The ground contact means 32 comes into contact with the ground 3 again. The infrastructure component 4 is again supported on the ground 3 via the device 2.1. The system 1 is in the first alignment arrangement shown in FIG. 7B.

[0137] The method described above is repeated similarly for each of the devices 2.2 to 2.5 one after the other. The devices 2.1 to 2.5 are then orientated relative to the infrastructure component 4 in accordance with the initial arrangement, with the infrastructure component 4 not having changed its arrangement relative to the second transferring arrangement. The system 1, particularly the infrastructure component 4, can be transferred further opposite the y-direction relative to the ground 3 in accordance with the method described with reference to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C.

[0138] FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B describe how the system 1 can be fixed to the ground 3 in an especially stable manner. Depending on the height of the infrastructure component 4 above the ground 3 and a fit clearance between the connecting means 33 and the mating connecting means 8 and/or the elasticity of the device 2, an application of force to the infrastructure component 4, particularly in the horizontal direction, can lead to an unwanted relative movement of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3. This could impair the precise arrangement of the infrastructure component 4 into the target arrangement. A corresponding application of force can occur, for example, when casting the infrastructure component 4 with the filler 10.

[0139] The infrastructure component 4 can be fixed, particularly braced, in the target arrangement by means of the devices. For this purpose, the devices 2, particularly the first actuating means 35, are rotatably driven in pairs in opposite directions. Particularly, the first actuating means 35 of the devices 2.1 and 2.3 are rotatably driven in opposite directions and the first actuating means 35 of the devices 2.2 and 2.4 are rotatably driven in opposite directions. The transferring movement of the respective ground contact means 32 about the first axis of rotation is preferably in a range from 2 to 60, particularly from 5 to 45, particularly from 10 to 30, particularly from 15 to 20. The infrastructure component 4 preferably does not move relative to a ground 3. Bracing can be achieved by applying a predetermined torque to the respective device, particularly the first actuating means 35. The relative movement of the ground contact means 32 to the infrastructure component 4 causes an elastic deformation of the respective device 2, which braces the infrastructure component 4 in the target arrangement to the ground 3. The system 1 is in the bracing arrangement shown in FIG. 8B. The bracing arrangement preferably corresponds to the target arrangement.

[0140] The method described above can also be carried out manually as an alternative to carrying it out automatically by means of the drive units 30. For this purpose, the arrangement deviation is displayed on the user interface 27. The user can drive the actuating device 29, particularly the first and second actuating means 35, 36 by means of a tool, particularly by means of a spanner, in such a way that the infrastructure component 4 is transferred into the target arrangement and/or is braced in the target arrangement.

[0141] In the target arrangement, particularly in the bracing arrangement, the at least one infrastructure component 4 is cast with the filler 10, particularly with pourable concrete. The free space 14 between the ground 3 and the infrastructure component 4 is filled with the filler. The filler cures. The infrastructure component 4 is firmly connected to the ground 3 via the cured filler 10.

[0142] The devices 2 can be removed from the respective infrastructure component 4. For this purpose, the second actuating means 36 is rotatably driven about the second axis of rotation 38 and the respective device 2 is removed from the device 2 in the vertical direction, particularly in the z-direction. The device 2 can be used to transfer the infrastructure components 4 into a target arrangement.

[0143] A further embodiment of the system 1 with the at least one device 2 is described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 12. In contrast to the embodiment described above, the device 2 has a ground contact means 32 with a contact spike 39 mounted to rotate. The contact spike 39 is cylindrical in shape in some sections. One end face of the cylindrical section of the ground contact spike 39, particularly facing the infrastructure component 4, is round, particularly spherical segment-shaped.

[0144] The ground contact means 32 comprises a rotary bearing 51, particularly a thrust rolling bearing. The rotary bearing 51 is designed as a rolling bearing, particularly as a ball bearing.

[0145] The contact spike 39 is mounted to rotate on the transmission device 34, particularly on the first transmission means 43, particularly on the base body 44, about a bearing axis 52 by means of the rotary bearing 51. The bearing axis 52 is orientated parallel to the first axis of rotation 37. A distance r between the bearing axis 52 and the first axis of rotation 37 corresponds to the distance r between the first axis of rotation 37 and the tip of the contact spike 39. Particularly, the contact spike 39 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical about the bearing axis 52.

[0146] Along the first axis of rotation 37, the contact spike 39 projects beyond the base body 44, in relation to the transmission device 34 in the direction of the ground contact means 32, by a height h in a range from 1 mm to 30 mm, particularly from 2 mm to 20 mm, particularly from 3 mm to 15 mm, particularly from 4 mm to 10 mm.

[0147] The system 1 comprises a mating ground contact means 53. The mating ground contact means 53 is designed to introduce the force transmitted to the ground 3 via the ground contact means 32, particularly the contact spike 39, particularly the weight force of the infrastructure component 4, into the ground 3 in a particularly evenly distributed manner, particularly distributed over an enlarged area. The mating ground contact means 53 preferably has a plate, particularly a metal plate, particularly a steel plate. The mating ground contact means 53 has a square base with a side length of 200 mm. The thickness of the mating ground contact means 53 is 15 mm.

[0148] System 1 and device 2 otherwise correspond to the embodiment described above. The mode of operation corresponds to that of the embodiment described above.

[0149] Advantageously, the rotatable bearing of the ground contact means 32 relative to the base body 44 ensures that the friction between the ground contact means 32 and the ground 3 is reduced. This makes the device 2 especially easy to actuate; particularly, the actuating device 29, particularly the first actuating means 35, can be driven especially smoothly and with low friction. The mating ground contact means 53 improves the force transmission between the device 2 and the ground 3. Particularly, the weight force of the infrastructure component 4 transmitted via the ground contact means 32 can be transmitted over a larger area by means of the mating ground contact means 53 and thus introduced into the ground 3 in an especially evenly distributed manner, particularly with a reduced surface load. Damage to the ground 3 is prevented. The transferring of the infrastructure component 4 relative to the ground 3 can be carried out particularly reliably using the device 2.

[0150] The devices 2, particularly the combination 16, enable the transferring of an infrastructure component 4 supported on a ground 3 in a pre-positioned manner into a target arrangement in a particularly precise and economical manner. The device 2 and/or the combination 16 are fully reusable. Particularly, once the infrastructure component 4 has been cast and cured on the ground 3, the device 2 can be completely removed from the device 2, particularly in a non-destructive manner and/or without disassembly, and is thus ready for reuse for transferring another infrastructure component 4. Due to the local proximity of the first actuating means 35 and of the second actuating means 36, particularly due to their coaxial axes of rotation 37, 38, the device 2, particularly the actuating device 29, can be driven in an especially easy-to-handle manner, particularly in an automated manner. The fact that the infrastructure component 4 can be fixed, particularly braced, in the target arrangement by means of the device 2 means that transferring the infrastructure component 4 from the target arrangement, particularly when casting with the filler 10, can be reliably prevented.
