Abstract
Apparatus for and methods of flooding and/or pressure testing a pipe (12) or facility, wherein a subsea device (50) is used to pressure test the pipe (12) once flooded. The subsea device is typically a pump (50) that is located subsea, and preferably supplied from a local power supply (e.g. batteries, ROV, AUV etc). Certain embodiments allow the pipe (12) to be flooded and then pressure tested in consecutive operations without having to de-couple and/or couple additional apparatus to the pipe (12).
