English term or phrase: Mattress laying pontoon
Is this "Mattress Laying Pontoon" a pontoon that lays foundations or beds? I am stuck at translating *mattress* which I think it is a foundation or bed laid somewhere on water since it is a pontoon. thanks for the help.

Explanation:
piattaforma=spazio di terreno spianato e rinforzato

credo che si tratti di posizionare i pontoni su un *mattress*o *piattaforma* di terreno precedentemente spianato per consentire la costruzione del ponte stesso.
I pontoon sono anche costruiti su strisce di terreno , forse questo e' il caso. Guarda le foto di questo link

Spero aiuti, non sono un'esperta in materia!
