There is provided a procedure and an arrangement for coating a bare joint (10) between two pipes (12, 14) otherwise coated with a pipe-coating (16, 18). The procedure and arrangement involves providing two pipes (12, 14) precoated with a pipe-coating (16, 18) and a shell (20, 22) formed in two semi-cylindrical sections, substantially or entirely made of the same material as the pipe-coating (16, 18), wherein the shell (20, 22) is subsequently fused to said pipe-coating (16, 18) to form a shroud for the joint (10). The procedure further involves injecting an infill material to fill a void which initially exists between the pipes (12, 14) and the shell (20, 22) once fusing has taken place, through the use of a vent hole (28, 30) and a fill hole (28, 30). In addition there is provided a procedure for forming a sleeve (20, 22) for use in the previous procedure and arrangement, which is intended to shroud the joint (10).
