Abstract

Supports for routing cables in existing pipelines are flexible cable supports containing minimally one hollow passage to receive a cable, and are installed between an existing pipeline inner wall and a structural liner. The cable supports have an elongate cross-section transverse to their length and are of sufficient flexibility to conform to the interior wall of the pipeline.
