<p>A hold-back clamp adapted for connecting an anchor to at least one pipe forming part of a pipeline, the hold-back clamp having an anchor connection point, and being adapted to at least partially encircle the at least one pipe, the clamp being configured to be radially spaced from the at least one pipe when it is received within the clamp, whereby an annulus is defined between the at least one pipe and the clamp. The invention also describes a pipe assembly and a method of attaching the clamp to a pipe. Normally a settable material, such as an epoxy grout is injected into the annulus, through suitable ports, to hold the clamp to the pipe. Benefits of embodiments of the present invention include that they may be smaller than known hold-back clamps and can be secured to the pipe in a manner less likely to damage the pipe.</p> |
