<p>The method comprises the steps of:
(a) preassembling the connector pipe (70) in a support (50);
(b) coupling a frame (20; 30) to the pipeline (10) at or towards an end (10c) thereof such that the location of at least one part of the frame is known with reference to the throughbore (11) and the end (10c) of the pipeline (10);
(c) engaging the support (50) with a portion of the frame (20; 30);
(d) substantially aligning the connector pipe (70) with the end (10c) of the pipeline (10); and
(e) connecting the connector pipe (70) to the end (10c) of the pipeline (10). A cutting tool can be coupled to a portion of a guide means (20) and used to cut the pipeline (10) at a predetermined distance from the guide means (20) such that the end (10c) of the pipeline (10) is created. A remotely operable vehicle can be used to remotely actuate and control the connection of the pipe (70) and the pipeline (10).</p> |
