A filler material, suitable for the following subsea use, comprises spherical beads 2. A method of anchoring load carrying components of an elongate subsea structure, such as a flexible pipeline or umbilical, to a termination or end fitting comprising the steps of inserting said load carrying components into or through a cavity or void within the termination and filling said cavity or void with said filler material whereby said load carrying components are embedded and anchored therein. The method may further comprise filling interstitial spaces between the beads 2 with a liquid, hard setting compound such as epoxy resin, and with an interstitial filler material such as sand or spherical micro-beads. The beads 2 may be of a uniform diameter and shape and made of glass. |
