Abstract
Protective barrier consisting of at least two ballastable elements (3, 4) adapted to surround at least partially the work to be protected (1). The height of the individual elements is greater than the water depth. The elements comprise a connection device permitting the structural continuity of the elements after assembly. The protective barrier is entirely independent of the work to be protected. The positioning of the elements around the work is effected by means of a positioning system provided in the sea bed and/or the individual elements of the protective barrier.
