1. A device for manufacturing a foundation for a mass located at height, wherein the foundation comprises a quantity of piles driven into an underwater bottom in a geometric pattern, which device comprises a positioning framework of a number of mutually connected guide tubes arranged in the geometric pattern and adapted to receive and guide a pile to be driven into the underwater bottom, wherein the guide tubes comprise measuring means adapted to determine the height of a pile present in the guide tubes, wherein the measuring means comprise a liquid gauge adapted to measure the vertical height of a stop, whereby the stop can be coupled to the pile and is movable from a lower reference height up to at least the upper edge of a pile present in the guide tube.
