Abrégé

The present invention provides a pipeline coupling apparatus 1 to couple first and second ends of adjacent pipeline sections 3, 5, in use. The apparatus includes a first part 7 and at least a second part 9, and engagement means 13 provided to join said first and second parts together to form the coupling, such that the interface between the first and second pipeline sections 3, 5, in use, is retained by the formed coupling. Each of the first and second parts 7, 9 includes a first end portion 15 for engagement with the first pipeline section 3, adjacent the end of the same, in use; and a second end portion 17 for location with the second pipeline 5 adjacent the end of the same, in use. Further, at least one of the first or second end portions includes retention means 21 formed so as to protrude into and/or exert a pressure force on the external surface of the respective first and/or second pipeline sections, in use.

An apparatus and method for the containment of a portion of a pipeline is provided. The apparatus includes first and second parts, which when brought together form an interior cavity in which the said portion of the pipeline is located. The first and second parts have respective connection flanges that are held together under force to form a seal. First and second sealing members are also provided to be placed substantially around a circumference of the pipeline, the first and second sealing members being spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the said pipeline portion.

A pipe fitting for the connection of an end of a first pipeline section to an end of a further pipeline section, a pipeline component or a side pipe fitting is provided. The pipe fitting includes a first connector part located with the end of the first pipeline section and a second connector part located with the end of the second pipeline section or the pipeline component. The first and second connector parts are provided with respective sets of engagement means, which are moved into an engaged position to form the pipe fitting by relative rotation between the first and second connector parts.
