Zusammenfassung:A method for joining two pipe sections (10, 60) of laminate structure and having an inner liner (115), comprising the steps of: (a) connecting a first pipe section (10) to a first connection member (15) to form a first assembly (135); (b) disposing the first assembly (135) within a sleeve with a space (40) disposed between an outer surface (11) of the first pipe section (10) and an inner surface (41) of the sleeve (40); (c) optionally connecting the sleeve (40) to the first assembly (135); (d) providing a second pipe section (60) with a second connection member (65) joinable with the first connection member (15); (e) moving the second pipe section (60) and the first assembly (135) towards each other; and (f) connecting the second pipe section (60) to the first assembly (135) through joining the second connection member (65) to the first connection member (15) to form a joint, the inner liner (115) of both the first and second pipe sections (10, 60) being locked within the joint (200).
