Abstract

A clamping device for clamping together two subsea tubular members, the device comprising: a force applying member which is operable to apply a force in a first direction to bring the two subsea tubular members into contact with each other and subsequently generate a compressive clamping force, the applied force defining a load path; and a reaction member which is couplable to at least one of the tubular members such that the reaction member is located in the load path to provide a reaction force in a second opposite direction.
