A method and apparatus for installing a cable-like element in a pipe by securing a buoyant element to the one cable-like element, the weight and buoyancy of the buoyant element and the cable-like element being matched with a fluid flowing agent so that the cable-like element is substantially buoyant in the fluid flowing agent; generating a flow of the fluid flowing agent in a pipe in a selected direction; and introducing the cable-like element with the buoyant element secured thereto into the flow of the flowing agent in the pipe so that the cable-like element is moved in the selected direction within the pipe.
