ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for underwater aligning and connecting of two pipes used in directional drilling and particularly trenchless beach crossings. An alignment cable is connected between the ends of the two pipes and is tensioned to bring them into axial alignment. A rigid supporting platform is positioned on the sea floor. Securing clamps are mounted on the platform to align the two pipes. To thread the pipes, one pipe rotates about the joint axis.
