Abstract

A method of laying a pipeline comprises the steps of providing a number of lengths of pipe (162) to be coupled together to form the pipeline. Co-operating connector formations (1, 2) are provided on each adjacent end of the pipes (102) to be coupled together. A first pipe (102) is positioned at a location and a second pipe (102) is positioned adjacent to the first pipe (102) in end-to-end relationship with the first pipe. The respective connector formations (1, 2) on the adjacent ends are brought into contact with each other and a force applied to the connector formations (1, 2) to form at least one of the connector formations. The connector formations (1, 2) are then made together by causing relative movement between the first and second pipes (102) in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axes of the pipes (102), and the force is subsequently relaxed to couple the connector formations (1, 2) together.
