The cap (20) has a substantially cylindrical skirt (22) welded to the end of the pipe (12) in a pre-formed tabular condition. The cap (20) also includes a substantially domed cover section with an end portion that is elongate along a line (y) that is transverse to a folding line (x) about which a channel (115) is formed along a length of the pipe (12) and through the cap (20).
