The arrangement includes at least a strapping machine (6) which is arranged to be moved forward together with the cable (2) and pipeline (3) in order to perform a strapping operation in concert with the forward advancement thereof. The strapping machine is also moveable rearwards relative to the cable and pipeline for the repositioning to the next strapping operation such that the application of a strap or straps (7) takes place intermittently under the continuous deployment of the pipe bundle.
