<p>A connector arrangement for a pipe-in-pipe (PIP) pipeline for use in a subsea environment, the PIP pipeline comprising at least inner and outer pipes having an annular space thereinbetween, and one or more PIP cables extending along the annular space, the connector arrangement comprising: a housing configured to be joined to the outer pipe of the PIP pipeline to define a dry interior chamber with the annular space of the PIP pipeline; and one or more dry barrier chambers extending through the housing and extending wholly or substantially parallel with the PIP pipeline for connecting one or more of the PIP cables in the PIP pipeline with one or more external cables in the subsea environment. In this way, there are provided two dry areas between the subsea environment and the annular space in the PIP pipeline, increasing the integrity of the connector arrangement, with the convenience of dry barrier chambers extending wholly or substantially parallel with the PIP pipeline.</p> |
