A method of forming a protection system and a protection system for a secondary conduit adapted to be coupled to a main conduit; the main conduit and the secondary conduit are for installation below the sea surface. The method includes spooling onto a reel an elongate member in a first configuration for transportation and/or storage until such a time that it is ready to be deployed, the first configuration being a substantially planar configuration. The method also includes paying the elongate member out from the spool, causing or allowing the elongate member to adopt a second configuration and form the protection system for the secondary conduit, the second configuration being a substantially non planar configuration. The elongate member is coulped to an external surface of the main conduit. |
