Methods and apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical mount body () comprising a first open mouth at a first end of the cylindrical body () and a further open mouth at a remaining end of the cylindrical body, a substantially cylindrical inner surface, and an outer surface that includes a plurality of spaced apart substantially parallel recessed regions that extends circumferentially around the body, wherein the cylindrical body () is tapered at each end and at least one securing element is located between the recessed regions.

Mounting and cathodic protection

Flexible pipe body, a flexible pipe and a method of manufacturing pipe body are disclosed. The flexible pipe body comprises a tensile armour layer and a supporting layer radially outside, or radially inside, and in an abutting relationship with the tensile armour layer. The supporting layer comprises a helically wound constraining tape element and a helically wound electrically conductive tape element.

Provision of electrical continuity and/or radial support

A flexible pipe body and a method of providing electrical continuity are disclosed. The flexible pipe body comprises a first armour layer formed from a helical winding of a metal tape element, a further armour layer formed from a helical winding of a further metal tape element, and at least one intermediate layer between the first and further armour layers, said intermediate layer comprising a helically wound electrically insulating tape element (800, 800, 800, 800, 800) and a helically wound electrically conductive tape element (810, 810, 810, 810, 810).
