A method of installing a subsea pipeline having a direct tie-in to a subsea structure. The method comprises, during introduction of the pipeline into the sea from a pipe laying vessel, applying a plastic deformation to a region of the pipeline at or close to an end of the pipeline to be tied-in and, either during or following tie-in, elastically deforming said region to increase its radius of curvature. |
