Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for making both a high strength mechanical connection and low resistance electrical connection to a structure in a subsea environment. The apparatus comprising a clamping means and a means for making electrical contact, characterised in that the means for making an electrical connection is arranged to be moved against the structure, thereby causing cleaning and polishing of the surface of the structure, to create a current flowpath of improved electrical connectivity.
